More Americans think companies benefit from legal immigration, a new AP-NORC poll finds

A recent AP-NORC poll shows 60% of U.S. adults view legal immigrants as major contributors to economic growth and skilled workforce needs.

  • A poll of 1,183 U.S. adults conducted Sept. 11-15 found increasing recognition of legal immigrants' economic and cultural contributions despite new Trump administration restrictions.
  • This shift follows tightening immigration rules, including a $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications and additional vetting for green card and student visa applicants.
  • About 51% see skilled workers who come legally as a major benefit to companies, 46% say legal immigrants enrich culture, while views on illegal immigrants remain cautious.
  • Republicans increasingly oppose reducing legal immigration, dropping from 45% in January to about 30%.
  • Despite steady concerns about illegal immigration risks, results suggest growing public support for easing legal immigration to boost economic growth and cultural vitality.
