This year, PRRI published results from two surveys, which examined Americans’ attitudes when it comes to immigrants and immigration policy.
“American attitudes about immigration policies and views toward immigrants have grown more conservative; nationally, those trends are driven by Republicans and independents adopting more conservative views in recent years.”
– 2024 PRRI American Values Survey
“Views about immigrants’ impact on the economy and local communities as well as extreme views on immigration are strongly related to authoritarianism and Christian nationalism, as is partisanship.”

Six in ten Republicans (61%) agree with this statement, compared with 30% of independents and only 13% of Democrats.
