More Americans say US is no longer welcoming to immigrants, survey finds
"About six in 10 respondents to the Associated Press-NORC poll say the country used to be a great place for immigrants, but no longer is. Another one-third said they or somebody they knew personally had been affected by the Trump administration's crackdown in the previous 12 months, rising to about 60% of Hispanic adults."
"Almost half of the Hispanic adults who responded said they had started carrying proof of their US citizenship or permanent residence for fear of being detained or deported by federal immigration agencies."
"The survey found that only a quarter of adults still believed the US was welcoming to immigrants, while about one in 10 believed it never was."
A recent poll indicates that Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies have shifted public perception, with 60% of respondents believing the US is no longer welcoming to immigrants. About one-third reported personal impacts from the administration's crackdown, particularly among Hispanic adults, where nearly half now carry proof of citizenship due to fear of detention. The poll reflects a significant change in attitudes since Trump's return to the White House and his aggressive deportation efforts, which have resulted in violent incidents involving federal agents.
