WASHINGTON, D.C. — By a margin of nearly 70 points, Republican registered voters support immigration solutions that balance border security, prioritized enforcement, asylum updates and beneficial legal-immigration pathways.
In a Bullfinch Group and National Immigration Forum survey, 80% of registered Republicans supported Republicans and Democrats working together on this collection of solutions, vs. 12% in opposition. The spread among all voters was nearly identical, at 77%-11%. Remaining respondents said they were unsure.
“Americans want a balance on immigration,” said Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum. “Republicans and Democrats have across-the-board support for ensuring security, focusing enforcement on threats, updating our asylum processes and enabling legal immigration that benefits all of us.”
Polling crosstabs are available for surveyed adults and a subset of registered voters.
Survey respondents were asked whether they agree or disagree with the following statement: “Republicans and Democrats should work together on solutions that keep the border secure, focus immigration enforcement on threats to public safety and national security, update our asylum system, and modernize legal immigration pathways so we can fill critical needs, create more jobs, and reduce labor shortages and inflation.”
The Forum, in conjunction with The Bullfinch Group, conducted a nationwide online survey fielded Nov. 21-25, 2025, among 1,200 adults, of whom 1,000 respondents were registered voters. Sampling controls were used to ensure that a proportional and representative number of respondents were interviewed from demographic groups such as age, gender, political affiliation, race, and geographic region. The margin of error for registered voters is ±3.1% at the 95% confidence interval. The margin of error for adults is ± 2.83% at the 95% confidence interval.
