Washington (AP). Just a few months after President Donald Trump returned to the office, promising mass deportations, our adults saying that immigration is a “good thing”, part of the country basically jumped – including the Republicans, based on a new Gallup survey.
About 8 out of 10 Americans, 79 percent. Only about 2 out of 10 adults in the US say that immigration is currently a bad thing compared to 32% last year.
During the term of the Democratic President Joe Biden, the negative attitude of immigration towards immigration has significantly increased and took duties in the Republican Trump within a few months. New Gallup data show that adults return to more immigrants’ opinions that could make it difficult for a short impetus to have extensive deportations in the second term. American attitudes towards immigration policy have changed dramatically over the past year – including Republicans who have been in short -term immigration levels, but who have also been more supportive on the country’s citizenship path illegally.
A broader tendency also shows that public opinion is usually much more favorable to immigrants than a few decades ago.
The vast majority of our adults say that immigration is good
The American’s more positive attitudes towards immigration are primarily determined by changes in Republicans and independent individuals.
About two -thirds of Republicans now say that immigrants are a “good thing” for the country compared to 39% last year. And independent individuals crossed from about two -thirds to 80% last year this year.
Democrats have maintained an extremely positive attitude to immigration over the last few years.
The part of Americans wishing to immigration has fallen dramatically
Since the Trump took office, the Republicans have become more satisfied with the level of immigration in the country.
Americans who want to “decline” in the US have fallen from 55% to 30% in the US. Although fewer Americans now want to reduce the number of people coming to the United States from other countries, they prefer to have the same level of immigration than they want a higher level of immigration. About 4 out of 10 claims that immigration should be considered at the current level, and only 26% claim that immigration should be increased.
The survey shows that the sharp opinion of Republican anti -immigrants, emphasized by the November election, which helped to return the short to the White House, has fundamentally disappeared. According to Republican, immigration should be reduced from 88% to 48% in recent years. Almost 4 out of 10 Republicans now say that the level of immigration should remain the same, and only about 1 in 10 would like to increase.
Most of this Republican movement is likely to be caused by support for short administration for strict immigration, but the Gallup survey also contains signs that Republicans are more supportive of immigrant citizenship in the country illegally and more prone to immigration benefits, which may contradict the short administration priorities.
More Americans support the way to citizenship
Most Americans are favorably appreciated by the immigrants living in the US to become US citizens if they meet certain requirements over time, according to a survey.
Almost 9 out of 10 adults in the US, 85 %, welcomes the path to citizenship for immigrants who have been illegally brought to the United States as children, and almost as many say that they support all immigrants in the country illegally if they meet certain requirements.
This increased support for citizenship mainly Republicans, of which about 6 out of 10 now support it compared to 46% last year. The support of independent individuals and Democrats was already very high.
Support for immigrants for deporting the country illegally decreased, but less significant. About 4 out of 10 adults in the US now support immigrants, who are illegally in the country compared to about half a year ago.
