Most adults in the United States no longer believe the country is a welcoming place for immigrants, according to a new AP-NORC poll. The survey reveals that approximately one-third of Americans report knowing someone directly affected by the aggressive immigration enforcement policies implemented by the Trump administration.
The comprehensive survey, conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research among more than 2,500 American adults, found that around six in 10 respondents feel the US was once a great place for immigrants but no longer is. A significant one-third of adults – a figure rising to over half among Hispanic adults – indicated that within the last year, they or someone they know has started carrying proof of their immigration status or US citizenship, faced detention or deportation, altered travel plans, or significantly changed daily routines, such as avoiding work, school, or leaving their homes, due to concerns about their immigration status.
