Texans know there is a crisis on the border even if Biden does not

 Texas Public Policy Foundation:

The number of Texans who say there is a crisis at the border is the highest it’s been in over a year, with the percentage of those who say it is the most important issue Texas policymakers should address jumping 500% since just last September. The dramatic shift comes less than 100 days into President Biden’s administration. Almost immediately after taking office, President Biden reversed several successful border security programs implemented by President Trump.

Today, better than four out of five Texans (82%) agree there is an immigration crisis. Fully 25% of Texans say it is the most important issue, up from 5% just seven months ago. Addressing the COVID pandemic, mask mandates, and access to the vaccine was the next most important issue at 19%, with unemployment and the economy coming in third at 10%.

The poll was conducted April 11-14 by WPA Intelligence for TPPF and surveyed 804 registered voters statewide. It has a margin of error of +/-3.5%.

Texans also reaffirmed their support for measures to secure elections. In previous polls this year, they supported voter identification requirements (89%), auditing voter lists (89%), and equalizing identification requirements for in-person and mail-in ballots (81%). This month, 80% of Texans agreed with specific security measures saying “voters mailing in ballots should be required to include the identification number of a valid government issued ID such as a driver’s license or the last four numbers of their Social Security card.”

On energy, a majority of Texans (52%) are unwilling to suffer power outages in order to increase the percentage of unreliable energy sources like wind and solar. Seven out of 10 Texans say “wind and solar energy producers should be required to provide a certain amount of electricity to keep the grid reliable.” Unlike other energy generators, wind and solar companies are not currently required to produce power as needed, which increases the volatility of the electric grid.

...

Texans are living with Biden's mistake every day.  From the border to inland it is a crisis.  It is totally Biden's doing.  Biden is enriching the cartels and endangering the migrants and the Texans who have to deal with the mess he has created.

The overwhelming support for election integrity measures supports what the legislature is doing and rejects the objections of leftist corporate CEOs.  In fact, those who object to the election integrity measures are in a very small minority of voters of all ethnic groups.

The other interesting point is the one concerning the unreliability of wind and solar energy.
