An overwhelming majority of voters view the situation at the border as a crisis that needs to be dealt with immediately, a new Hill-HarrisX poll reveals.

Seventy-six percent of registered voters polled in the March 19-22 survey agreed that the current surge in immigrants at the border is a crisis that needs to be addressed immediately.

By contrast, 24 percent of respondents said the situation can be dealt with later.

Along party lines, 87 percent of respondents who identified as Republicans, 73 percent of those who identified as independents and 66 percent of those who identified as Democrats said the current situation at the Southern Border is an urgent crisis.

The trip comes as the Biden administration continues to struggle with the increased number of migrants trying to pass into the United States at the nation's southern border. They're receiving pressure from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to address the situation, which many Republicans are calling a "crisis."

Biden and top administration officials have repeatedly maintained the border is closed, but the government is holding migrant children in facilities because officials say it would be too dangerous for them to make their journey back to their home countries.
