Survey reveals majority of Americans view legal immigration positively
The Napolitan News Service/RMG Research survey of 1,000 registered voters, conducted Nov. 12–13, found that 67% believe “legal immigration is good for the United States, but illegal immigration is bad,” down from 74% in a similar survey conducted in August. Another 17% said both legal and illegal immigration are harmful, while 10% said all immigration is beneficial.
The poll also highlighted strong approval for targeted legal immigration pathways to address worker shortages. Sixty-four percent of respondents said it is “very important” to create legal routes for doctors and nurses to live and work in the US, a decline from 71% in August.
The findings come amid intensified immigration enforcement during the first year of the Trump administration’s return to office, which has coincided with a significant drop in the foreign-born US population. The White House has attributed the decline to mass deportations, visa-fraud crackdowns, and an indefinite freeze on refugee admissions, policies that have faced legal challenges and criticism from several major cities.
