New Gallup polling finds record 77% of Americans think immigration to U.S. is a 'good thing'

[Blue Montana]

New polling from Gallup finds that 34% of Americans want to see more immigrants welcomed to the U.S., “the highest support for expanding immigration Gallup has found in its trend since 1965,” the organization said. “Meanwhile, the percentage favoring decreased immigration has fallen to a new low of 28%, while 36% think it should stay at the present level. This marks the first time in Gallup's trend that the percentage wanting increased immigration has exceeded the percentage who want decreased immigration.”

We’ve talked about the “Trump Effect,” or how the impeached president has influenced racists to be more openly racist in public. But then there’s another Trump Effect: as he has also spent years pushing horrible anti-immigrant policy after horrible anti-immigrant policy, Americans are viewing immigration more and more favorably—and in record numbers, the poll finds.

4. No Doubt

We are all descendants of Immigrants other than Native Americans.

I am a product of most all of Europe and Scandinavia and about 1-2% Africa.....I am sure many overt racists might be shocked and find they have a sliver of African in them.

6. Yep!

It might be quite a while. At least that is until our new dem house of reps, senate and cabinet take full control. Then will see some positive action toward cv-19 and a willingness to work with our allies. That's the rub, working with friends and allies not enemies to find not just a vaccine but to control the spread world wide. Trump is such an idiot.
