A large majority of Latinos in the U.S. say the surge in migrants reaching the country's southern border is either a crisis or a major problem and that the government is doing a poor job at dealing with it, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center.

Concretely, 38% of Latino respondents said the situation at the border is a crisis, the same amount calling it a major problem. It's a slight lower figure than non-Latino respondents (47% saying it's a crisis and 31% a major problem) but a large majority overall.
