Abstract

The mass media in the United States reveals a sharp divide on opinions about the southern border. We surveyed university students on their political ideology and opinions on immigration, the wall, economics and their perceptions of lawmakers. Political ideology (liberal-conservative) was a significant predictor of student opinions and perceptions.
