A large majority of Americans now say the U.S. is no longer a great place for immigrants, reflecting shifting public attitudes during a period of heightened immigration enforcement, legal challenges over citizenship and broader political debate over the matter, according to a new poll.
Only 27% of U.S. respondents said the country is currently a great place for immigrants, while 61% say it used to be a great place but is not anymore. 10% said it was never a great place for immigrants to begin with, according to a nationwide survey conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research between April 16–20, 2026.
