For the first time since 2001, a majority of Americans favor less immigration. Last year, 41% of Americans wanted less immigration. This year a Gallup poll shows that the number soared to 55%.

It's not surprising. According to the Customs and Border Patrol, 8.5 million illegal immigrants have entered the country since February 2021.

"This is the first time since 2005 that a majority of Americans have wanted there to be less immigration, and today’s figure is the largest percentage holding that view since a 58% reading in 2001. The record high was 65%, recorded in 1993 and 1995," reports Gallup.

Only 55%. Our country is doomed, and it won’t be long.

[Steely Tom]

No problem, if we let the “immigrants” vote.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s not “immigration”, it’s NATIONWIDE HOME INVASION. We shouldn’t be kissing asses. We should be floating them back across the RIO Grande.

Biden Democrats are transferring billions of your tax dollars to migrants; to feed, shelter, transport and sustain them.

And this scam.....draining our S/S system.

As part of a 10-month investigation Scripps News uncovered that every year, thousands of migrant children disappear from their homes shortly after arriving in the U.S. But there is no clear local, state or federal government agency taking responsibility for searching for many of these missing ...Apr 2, 2024

This is so bogus-——the kids arent missing, they are loaned out, passed around to other migrants. to be used in lucrative scams to get tax dollars from S/S and hefty disability checks.
Biden overturned Trump’s order to get the DNA of these so-called needy families, to make sure the kids are really theirs.

A common practice by these greedy illegals is getting a crooked doctor to say a kid’s autistic b/c they get hefty SS tax paid benefits every month for the kid.
The maximum possible disability benefit for autism in 2024 is $943 per month for SSI and about $3,822 per month for SSDI. These maximums apply regardless of what condition you have or whether you apply with one condition or multiple. The actual amount received depends on specific circumstances. (Dec 7, 2023)

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a key benefit for children under 16 living with disability, including autism. It is assessed according to care needs, and a diagnosis is not required to make a claim. DLA helps cover the extra costs of raising a child with a disability. (Jan 30, 2024)

And it’s a sure bet they invent their “circumstances.”

It’s going in the right direction.

considering the damage being done to our culture and economy by the un fettered influx of immigrants, it should be much higher.

[b4me]

likely not increasing, just maybe starting to report a more truthful percent.

[Jane Long]

Or, maybe a SHARP INCREASE in actual reporting, period.

[Carriage Hill]

They aren’t ‘immigrants’ or ‘migrants’.

They CRIMINAL, ILLEGAL, ALIEN INVADERS.

[SpaceBar]

The people killed by illegal aliens (which is substantial) were unavailable for comment.

[No name given]

And to wherever they came from originally, no exceptions at all.

[TexasKamaAina]

The record high was 65%, recorded in 1993 and 1995

And some legislation was passed but, obviously, that didn't translate to any effective action. So what will be different now?

Once upon a time not so long ago people heard “immigrant” and thought “Ellis Island”. These days they hear “immigrant” and think “illegal alien invaders, face-tattooed MS-13 members, seedy Venezuelan ex-cons, and heavy Cartel investments in the Democrat party.” Small cultural shift there.
