Attitude Towards Immigrants

Americans are becoming more accepting of increased immigration to the U.S. than they were a few years ago. Although the majority of Americans were not in favor of increased immigration, especially after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, 23% of Americans currently support it, the highest percent of pro-immigration Americans ever recorded by Gallup.
