ABSTRACT

This article presents results of a survey determine the opinions of Americans in the issue of immigration to the U.S. In a new Gallop poll Ltd., half the respondents said immigration should be kept at its present level (34 percent) or increased (16 percent); 46 percent said it should be decreased. This is a slight dip in the "decreased" tally since last June, when 49 percent expressed that preference. Opinion has bounced around in the past few decades, and the current pattern falls roughly into the middle of the pack.
