The results of the June 3-23 poll showed that 55 percent of Americans want migration reductions, while just 16 percent want more migration.
This mainstream, centrist reassertion of opposition to migration comes after many years in which Americans were aggressively pressured to mute their preference for Americans over migrants.
The 2024 breakout of open opposition is likely enabled by President Donald Trump’s denunciation of the White House’s aggressive importation of 10 million poor and diverse migrants since 2021. That massive inflow adds up to one migrant for every new American birth. The government-created population explosion has been a bonanza for Wall Street and government anti-poverty agencies, but also a massive pocketbook, housing, and civic hit on ordinary Americans.
