Majority of Texas voters opposed to wall: poll
A majority of voters in Texas is opposed to the construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall, according to a new poll taken as National Guard troops are being stationed in the area.
Fifty-three percent of Texas voters oppose the wall, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday found, while 43 percent support its construction, which was a central campaign promise of President Trump.
Plans for an impenetrable wall to span nearly 2,000 miles stalled last month when Congress allocated only $1.6 billion for border security measures in an omnibus spending package. Trump had demanded $25 billion.
Hispanic voters in Texas overwhelmingly oppose the wall, 72 to 25 percent, the poll found.
