Almost two-thirds of respondents said US used to be a great place for immigrants but no longer is
Donald Trump’s aggressive and wide-reaching immigration-enforcement agenda has convinced increasing numbers of adults that the US is no longer a welcoming country for outsiders, a new poll has found.
About six in 10 respondents to the Associated Press-NORC poll, conducted last month, say the country used to be a great place for immigrants, but no longer is.
Another one-third said they or somebody they knew personally had been affected by the Trump administration’s crackdown in the previous 12 months, rising to about 60% of Hispanic adults.
I will clarify for non-Americans.
We, the American people are just as welcoming as we’ve always been. Half will open their arms to you, ang give you a welcoming hug. Half are racist, and stupid.
It’s the American government which is no longer welcoming to immigrants.
So to any immigrants thinking of visiting, DON’T.
I don’t say this out of hate. I say this out of protection to you. Don’t come to America. You are not safe here. Shits bad. Same way I wouldn’t reccomend any Jewish people to vacation in Germany in the early 1940s. That’s where we are right now. Stay safe by staying home.
Do you think it has anything to do with the anti immigrant fascist in chief, who is enacting anti immigrant policies?
Move to not the onion.
They are just being vocal. Its not increasing. They just didn’t wanna get canceled for being real.
As a 40+ year old first generation American I can say my personal experience is that by and large it has not been exactly welcoming to immigrants for decades.
I once believed that it was getting better but Americans then let me know that once again I was and still not exactly welcome.
