In a time of great national divide, it's so good to see some unity between Americans like this:

The survey finds roughly 3 in 4 registered voters — 74% — support more funding for security along the U.S. border with Mexico, including 93% of Republicans, 74% of independents and 58% of Democrats.

Is it that surprising? It seems like only super-elite Democrats and hard-left Marxists are the only ones who are really committed to a security-free, wide-open, nationally dangerous border.
The rest of us — even the majority of Democrats! — are, you know, pretty normal on this question. It's not rocket science.
The sheer lopsided returns here are even starker when weighed against sending money to foreign conflicts:
Border funding is far-and-away the winner here.
Most support for foreign aid breaks down along pretty predictable party lines, although in one instance a bipartisan return was somewhat surprising:
The survey does find bipartisan support for more funding and military aid to Taiwan as it faces the potential threat of a Chinese invasion, with slim majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independents backing more aid.
Overall, though, the responses are clear: People want the wall built. So why aren't we building it?
