WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans have grown markedly more positive toward immigration over the past year, with the share wanting immigration reduced dropping from 55% in 2024 to 30% today. At the same time, a record-high 79% of U.S. adults say immigration is a good thing for the country.

These shifts reverse a four-year trend of rising concern about immigration that began in 2021 and reflect changes among all major party groups.

With illegal border crossings down sharply this year, fewer Americans than in June 2024 back hard-line border enforcement measures, while more favor offering pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already in the U.S.

...

With illegal immigration levels down dramatically and refugee programs suspended, the desire for less immigration has fallen among all party groups, but it is most pronounced among Republicans, down 40 percentage points over the past year to 48%. Among independents, this sentiment is down 21 points to 30%, and among Democrats, down 12 points to 16%.

So, people hated immigrants just long enough to elect Shitler, and then changed their minds?

1. Maybe Trump's excessive actions have given them a renewed perspective. With every action there's a reaction.

2. I dunno. People were pretty damn vicious for thise peak years.

What did they expect from the Butcher of Bedminster? Candy-filled piñatas? Or bludgeons? Free two week Love Boat cruises home or cages? I suspect the latter.

Hard to change that kind of hate quickly among vicious haters, short of a miracle, and I sense a lot of people praying for one or more. How bad is it?

Even atheists are praying for one.
Or more.
