Americans growing more positive on immigration as Trump forges ahead with mass deportations
Americans’ views of immigration have swung drastically upward in the past year, with a new poll showing record-high support for immigration amid President Donald Trump’s controversial mass deportation campaign.A record 79 percent of American adults think immigration is good for the country, according to a new Gallup poll released Friday. And the number of Americans who want immigration reduced dropped sharply from 55 to 30 percent since last year’s poll.
Abject cruelty has a way of making people sympathetic to the plight of those perceived to be persecuted. Or perhaps this is simply a matter of practicality. The populace is perhaps becoming more educated about the benefits of immigration.
