Gary Humphreys, owner of Humphrey’s Gun Shop, located Del Rio Since 1973, he has spoken to Fox News Digital about how border issues have affected his business.

Humphrey said, “It’s very scary in there” and there was an incident when someone broke down her front door.

The survey also asked about policy ideas regarding immigration and border security and found 63% in favor of sending illegal immigrants back to their homes. That’s down from 67% in 2023, but nowhere near the low favorability of 52% in 2015, the first time it was asked.
Trump also has a 19-point lead over Harris, who is most trusted to tackle border security.
At the Democratic National Convention, Harris said he would sign a bipartisan Senate border bill that Trump did not support but many conservatives derided as ineffective. The bill would require billions in unused funds to be used on the border wall. However, according to Harris’ advisers, the bill does not provide additional funding for the border wall.
