while more than three times 73% say it's doing a bad job. the public's views of possible actions to deal with the situation have not changed much. about half, 52%, say it's important to require people seeking asylum in the u.s. to apply before they travel to the border and 49% say it's important to increase staffing and resources for patrolling and policing the border. how does this breakdown by party? p research did that as well. americans have expressed negative views of the government's handling of the border situation for the past years. only 29% give the government a positive rating in april of 2021, during joe biden's first year in office, and in 2019, just one third said the government was doing a good job at the border. both surveys asked about the increased number of people seeking asylum.

the question in the latest survey asks about the number of asylum-seekers. 30 5% of democrats and democratic leaning independents and 11% of republicans and republican leaners currently rate the government's performance positively. your turn to weigh in on this topic. how is the biden administration doing on the u.s. southern border? mike in chesapeake, virginia, democratic caller. let's hear from you. what do you think? good morning. caller: good morning. i watched some of that hearing. i was watching it this morning. it broke my heart to see the republicans bashing the poor guy. he is trying to do what he can. i am half japanese so my mom was an immigrant. she came here, she struggled, and it just hurt me to see these people treat that man so badly.

he is to do what he can. host: what about the policy? you say he's trying to do what he can. what do you think about the job that he has? caller: i think he has a tough job and he's questioned at every angle. the republicans are trying to make this something to damage people, you know? put yourself in place of an immigrant. how would you feel if you could not even get in this country? it just -- there's no reason to badger that guy like that. there's no reason at all for the republicans to badger that man. host: that is reflected in the headlines here is fox news. republicans fume at mayorkas

over border policy. this from the washington examiner. andy biggs slams mayorkas for lack of answers in heated hearing. take a look at this moment before the congressman, andy biggs, republican of arizona, and the secretary. [video clip] >> in the last four days, 5300 people have been encountered in one area. that is not made up. that is from the sector chief. who must bear responsibility for that, you or president biden? >> congressman, our approach -- >> is a you or president biden? did biden tell you to open the border or did you? >> it is not open. >> so why there's 5300 and the last four days that illegally tried to enter the country.
