According to a new Harvard-Harris poll, 81 percent of Americans want a reduction in immigration levels to 1 million or lower. Last year over 1.4 million legal immigrants arrived in America, while the number of illegals is unknown.
The Free Beacon reports:
The plurality of respondents, 35 percent, think that there should be between 1 and 250,000 legal immigrants arriving to the United States per year. A net 12 percent want to see immigration increased to 1.5 million people per year or more, while nine percent of Americans think that there should be no new legal immigrants.
Plurality preference for between 1 and 250,000 new immigrants a year persists across white, Hispanic, and black Americans, as well as moderates and self-identified Democrats. . .
Americans prefer a system of prioritizing would-be legal immigrants based on their ability to contribute, based on their education and skills, over one based on immigrants having relatives in the United States, 79 to 21 percent. That includes a majority of white (79 percent), Hispanic (72 percent), and black (85 percent) citizens, as well as majorities of Democrats (72 percent), liberals (65 percent), and Clinton voters (72 percent).
The poll clearly shows that the majority of Americans are against mass immigration, and that support for this crosses racial and ideological lines—it’s as close to a non-partisan issue as you can get.

So Bill were you lying then or are you lying now?
And Obama, were you lying then or are you lying now?
And yet, Schumer was willing to die on the hill of fighting for illegal aliens. He thought that this is a winning issue for Democrats, to fight for the illegals. Why did he go to the mat on it?
Schumer is many things , some unprintable, but he’s a smart politician. Why did he pick an issue which is unpopular even among mainstream Democrats to fight over?
Wow...that's a huge potential freshman class for FR!
That must be why there are so many Democrats in office. Anyone believing that way and voting for Democrats is beyond stupid.
Yup. :D
Shutdown Schumer miscalculated. Then reality hit him and he caved.
Quickly.
George Goldman Sachs Soros ain’t gunna like this..
Not.
One.
Bit..!
If Schumer loves illegal immigrants so much, why doesn’t Schumer propose an invasion by the entire planet?
“80% of Americans support DACA..80%”...
(Steny Hoyer yesterday on CSPAN)
And these guys expect to be taken seriously...Delusional.
Eighty-one percent of Americans want one million or fewer legal immigrants to the United States per year, according to new polling data released Monday by the Harvard-Harris poll, a number lower than the 1.38 million who came to the United States in 2015.
Nothing about illegals or border wall
I want less immigration and no muzzie immigration at all.
Trump should build some PR movement out of this
This should be shouted everywhere.
The only people who want more immigration are those who HATE Americans and our original Judeo-Christian European heritage.
These days though, the truth is racist.
Yup. I’m number 1 in that ‘’4 out of 5’’.
