According to a recent Associated Press-NORC poll, nearly 60% of Americans believe the United States is no longer a welcoming place for immigrants, a sentiment largely attributed to Donald Trump's stringent immigration policies. The survey reveals that about one-third of respondents or someone they know has been directly impacted by the administration's crackdown on immigration, with this figure rising to 60% among Hispanic adults. Many Hispanic respondents reported carrying proof of citizenship or permanent residency due to fears of detention or deportation by federal immigration agencies. The poll also indicates that only 25% of adults still view the US as welcoming to immigrants, while 65% support birthright citizenship for all children born in the US. Trump's efforts to alter this policy through executive orders have faced legal challenges. The survey reflects a significant shift in public opinion over the past 14 months, highlighting the anxiety and fear prevalent in immigrant communities across the country.
