Almost 8-in-10 Americans want immigration to the United States paused during the Chinese coronavirus crisis as unemployment reaches record levels, a new poll reveals.
A newly released Ipsos poll finds Americans are almost totally unified in their support for pausing immigration in the midst of the coronavirus crisis and mass unemployment.
Overall, about 79 percent of American adults said they want immigration temporarily paused to the U.S. — a policy far beyond just the travel bans that have been implemented on Chinese, Iranian, and European travel to the country by President Trump’s administration. […]
As Breitbart News chronicled, pauses on immigration are not unprecedented. To the contrary, the U.S. has historically cut all immigration in times of crisis and mass unemployment.
During the Great Depression throughout the 1930s, when unemployment hit nearly 25 percent, legal immigration shot down dramatically as millions were laid off. While millions were left unemployed, between the late 1920s and through the 1930s, legal immigration levels went from 241,700 admissions in 1930 to a century-low of 23,068 admissions in 1933 — the lowest annual level of immigration to the U.S. since 1831, when about 22,000 legal immigrants arrived. […]
Despite mass unemployment, annual legal immigration admissions are expected to continue hovering around more than a million in 2020, unless President Trump’s administration executively halts most immigration to keep Americans from competing for scarce work against foreign nationals.
In June 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the president’s control over legal immigration. In Trump v. Hawaii, the court stated that presidents have extraordinarily broad discretion to admit or exclude foreign nationals from the U.S. when they believe doing so is in the national interest.

Or 21% of the population can’t think out of wet paper bag
Give Trump 5 more senators. 60 makes no difference. Thank Mittens.
Two topics:
Illegal Immigration should be 100% stopped and this should go on forever.
Legal immigration should have a pause while the country sorts itself out. I would like to see legal immigration stopped for 25 years. And I would like to see English mandated in all government transactions. We need 25 years of full assimilation before we open the door again.
Common sense died years ago.
Amen!
21% of the USA supported the Nazis in WWII at some level.
There are always the outliers.
Post-1965 immigration should have ended in 1970.
DC does not care. This is not your DC; this DC is enemy occupied territory.
Ain't that the truth.
It’s always good to see which side that Idiot Pelosi stands by.She stands by anything that is good for the American Citizen.
She’s all for the criminal class and Anti-American.
I couldn't agree more....! America has laws that protect us from various diseases..."Every state has laws that require children to get certain vaccines before they can go to school or day care. Yet parents can opt out of one or more vaccines for medical, religious, or personal reasons. Vaccine exemption laws vary from state to state." Apr 16, 2019....
Yeh paused forever works for me. Or at least until we root out and remove the 20-30 million illegals already here.
Ipsos Poll taken at the lemming farm.
I agree with you. I also believe that’s going to be very hard to achieve with the rats around.
Here’s an idea that maybe could pass. Anyone who wants to come into this country can do so if they can pass the vetting process. Central to vetting is this simple question: What do you bring to our country? Folks who essentially say “Nothing” have to leave.
A-MEN. I want it STOPPED completely for at least 20 years!
—>. Or 21% of the population feels more loyalty to their countries of origin than to the United States.
More likely correct!
Interesting
If only what we thought mattered.
