Women increasingly view immigration as a major concern, with American adults polled by Gallup listing immigration as their biggest concern for a third straight month — the first time in 24 years it has topped the list for so long. Moreover, more women than men now list immigration as their top concern.
In April, Women viewed immigration as a more important issue than men by 31 percent to 24 percent. In February and March, men were more concerned, 31 percent to 26 percent and 30 percent to 26 percent, respectively.
Concern about immigration among all respondents increased from 20 percent in January to nearly 30 percent in February and March. After immigration, Americans’ top concerns in April were the government, the economy, and inflation.
Americans’ increasing concern about immigration reflects public frustration with the Biden regime’s willful mishandling of the border crisis. In Fiscal Year 2023 alone, authorities apprehended nearly 2.5 million illegal aliens at the U.S.-Mexico border. Recent polling has consistently ranked immigration a pressing priority for voters, but the news that women — key to his reelection prospects — are becoming increasingly concerned about the issue is particularly bad news for Biden.
A likely factor driving women’s concern over immigration is illegal alien crime. In addition to particularly high-profile crimes such as the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, dozens of illegal aliens in states across the country have been arrested for murder and the sexual assault and rape of women and children.
