A new poll finds many Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) adults say they or someone they know has been directly affected by the Trump administration’s tougher immigration policies, with most now believing the United States is no longer a land of opportunity for immigrants.
The survey from AAPI Data and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found roughly half of AAPI adults report that they — or someone they know — have been detained or deported, begun carrying proof of citizenship or immigration status, changed travel plans, or altered daily routines because of immigration concerns over the past year.
