Americans Appear to be More Afraid of the President than Immigration<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Immigration policy has been a central focus of President Trump\u2019s administration since he announced his candidacy in a speech in which he said, \u201cWhen Mexico sends its people, they\u2019re not sending their best … They\u2019re sending people that have lots of problems, and they\u2019re bringing those problems with us. They\u2019re bringing drugs. They\u2019re bringing crime. They\u2019re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Results from the Chapman University of American Fears show that a majority of Americans do not currently share the President\u2019s concerns over immigration. In fact, at the time this survey was conducted, more Americans expressed concern over the President than illegal immigration. When asked if President Trump had ever made them feel afraid, a majority, 58.7%, responded yes. When asked if they were afraid of illegal immigration, a majority, 59.3% reported that they were not afraid (other responses to this item: 9.3% reported very afraid, 12.2% reported afraid, and 19.3% reported slightly afraid).<\/p>\n

It should be noted that this survey was conducted during the period when the Trump administration\u2019s family separation policy was a top news story, creating a firestorm of criticism that forced the administration to change course. The news cycle may have affected these results.<\/p>\n

American Opinion on Immigrants<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Anti-immigrant sentiment has a long history in the United States. The late 19th<\/sup> century, German, Irish, and especially Chinese immigrants were targets of broad political movements, with Chinese immigration banned by Congress in 1882. In the early 20th<\/sup> century, the focus of concern was on immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe.<\/p>\n

At this point in our history, the proportion of Americans expressing concern about immigrants is a minority, though a significant one — roughly one out of 3.<\/p>\n

Percent expressing agreement with the following statements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
 <\/td>\nStrongly Agree or Agree<\/td>\nDisagree or Strongly Disagree<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Immigrants are more likely to commit crime than U.S. citizens.<\/td>\n18.6<\/td>\n81.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Political Orientation and Opinions on Immigrants<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When we look at anti-immigrant sentiment by political orientation, the overall results are what one would probably predict. Those who identify as conservative are more likely to hold anti-immigrant opinions. Of particular interest, however, are the opinions of those in the middle groups \u2013 those who define themselves as moderates or leaning toward conservative or liberal positions. Large majorities of moderates and those leaning liberal do not hold anti-immigrant opinions. Among those who lean conservative, there is majority support for only three of the nine items. This suggests that anti-immigrant rhetoric is unlikely to appeal to swing voters.<\/p>\n

Percent reporting \u201cStrongly Agree\u201d or \u201cAgree\u201d to the following statements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
 <\/td>\nExtremely Conservative<\/td>\nConservative<\/td>\nLeaning Conservative<\/td>\nModerate<\/td>\nLeaning Liberal<\/td>\nLiberal<\/td>\nExtremely Liberal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
