Congress is debating a large immigration-enforcement funding package. ICE and Border Patrol are central agencies in that debate, including border operations at and between official ports of entry. Supporters of more funding say the agencies need stable money, more staff, and better tools to enforce immigration law and improve public safety. Critics say any new money should include clear limits, public reporting, and protections for civil rights. Other lawmakers argue that enforcement alone will not fix long case backlogs, slow processing, or the lack of legal pathways for some workers and families. This poll asks how Congress should structure the funding if it moves forward. New immigration-enforcement spending could shape border operations, detention, immigration courts, local communities, and federal budgets for years. The core question is not only how much to spend, but what conditions and priorities should come with the money.

How should Congress structure new immigration-enforcement funding?
