American views on immigration reached a high point amid Trump crackdowns

Americans’ views on immigration this year have undergone a major positive shaking this year amid President Donald Trump’s ongoing crackdown, according to the new Galluppoling.

The share of Americans who thought immigration should fall by 55% reached a five-year high in 2024. This year it fell to 30%, with the survey released on July 11th showing that the positive views of immigrants reached a record 79%.

The Trump administration has stepped up its promise to carry out a widespread deportation in June, raiding restaurants, farms and hardware stores, and sending masked immigration agents to touch on widespread protests. He has announced a new “Wannial Catraz” detention facility for immigrants in the Florida Everglades. The administration faces legal challenges at every turn, and has brought it several times on the brink of clashes with judges who have placed barriers to the scale of crackdowns and tactics.

During former President Joe Biden’s administration, American views on immigration took a dip amid reports of a surge in migration and chaos at the southern border.

However, even among Republicans this year, views on immigration have risen significantly – 64% of Republicans now believe immigration is a 25-point jump from June 2024.

According to polls, Trump’s immigration policy is extremely unpopular, with only 35% disapproving of handling the issue.

Despite being Venezuelan, the Trump administration faced a fierce pushback against immigration policy when it deported hundreds of men to brutal Salvador prisons in March. In a continuing legal battle, the judge was forced to return Kilmer Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man from El Salvador who could remain in the United States.

Since then, the Supreme Court has given the Trump administration a green light to deport people to countries where they are not born.
