Drawing on PRRI research, Orcés notes that while anti-immigrant sentiment persists, only 35% of Americans say that the federal government should place immigrants who are in the country illegally in internment camps until they can be deported.

“We must demand immigration policies that reflect American values of fairness, dignity and justice.”
