Shift in Immigration Attitudes

Recent surveys indicate a significant shift in attitudes towards immigration across rich countries, with growing sentiment against both illegal and legal immigration. In the United States, more than half of the population now favors deporting all immigrants living illegally, an increase from about a third in 2016. Similar trends are observed in countries like Australia, where the perception of migration as too low has decreased notably. This rising opposition is linked to various societal factors, including economic concerns and increased incidents of racial tension.
