Support for immigration slips but still relatively high: Gallup
Gallup said 73% of U.S. adults still view immigration positively, but Republican support fell 14 points and concerns grew over jobs and housing.
- According to June Gallup polling, 73% of Americans view immigration as positive, though support has declined from a record high of 79% last year.
- Declining support is largely driven by Republicans, whose approval dropped 14 percentage points over last year to 50%, as the Trump administration pursues policies to curb migration.
- Overall, Americans are "most skeptical about housing availability and costs and job opportunities for US-born workers," Gallup says, though majorities recognize legal immigration fills workforce gaps.
- Asked about immigration levels, 35% of U.S. adults favor current rates, while 31% want increases and 29% seek decreases; support for border patrol hiring fell 10 points.
- An Appeals court recently ruled that ICE must allow bond hearings after 90 days of detention, following a lawsuit against the DHS regarding immigration enforcement.
