Survey Shows 69% of US Voters See Immigration System as 'Broken'

A recent Rasmussen Reports survey found that 69% of likely U.S. voters agree with former President Obama's statement that America's immigration system is broken, reflecting ongoing concerns amid continued controversy over U.S. immigration policy. In the UK, soaring asylum applications—now at record levels—have drawn criticism for allowing claims from citizens of wealthy or stable countries such as the U.S., Australia, and various European nations, fueling debate about the system's perceived generosity and vulnerability to abuse. High-profile cases have exposed fraudulent schemes within the UK asylum process, while political parties like Reform UK have capitalized on public dissatisfaction, promising to resist housing asylum seekers in local hotels and to challenge current arrangements through legal means. These developments highlight widespread frustration and a push for significant policy reforms in both the U.S. and the UK, with critics arguing that current systems fail to properly distinguish between genuine refugees and economic migrants.
