The whole framing of the survey is explicitly fascist lol. Or at least trying to find out how many people are fascists.
While most Americans express concern about the economic burdens immigrants place on communities [CITATION NEEDED], fewer Americans believe that immigrants increase crime rates in local communities or believe immigrants are invading or poisoning the blood of our country.
Nearly six in ten Americans (57%) say the growing number of newcomers from other countries burdens local communities by using more than their share of social services, including 86% of Republicans, 57% of independents, and 36% of Democrats.
[Okay, what was the actual question asked here, because I notice they included “using more than their share of social services”. Was that a clear part of the question, or are they trying to pretend that Americans are hostile towards immigrants?]
Around four in ten Americans (43%) say that immigrants increase crime rates in local communities; Republicans are more than four times as likely as Democrats to agree (73% vs. 17%).
While few Americans (35%) agree that “immigrants are invading our country and replacing our cultural and ethnic background,” this view is held by 65% of Republicans, as well as most viewers of far-right news (83%) and Fox News viewers (66%).
White evangelical Protestants (62%) are the only religious group among whom a majority agree that immigrants are invading our country and replacing our cultural and ethnic background.
One-third of Americans (34%) say that immigrants entering the country illegally today are “poisoning the blood of our country,” including six in ten Republicans (61%), 30% of independents, and only 13% of Democrats. White evangelical Protestants (60%) are the only religious group among whom a majority agree that immigrants entering the country illegally are poisoning the blood of the country.
Americans are divided on whether they favor (47%) or oppose (50%) rounding up and deporting immigrants who are in the country illegally, even if it takes setting up encampments guarded by the U.S. military. Nearly eight in ten Republicans (79%) favor putting undocumented immigrants in encampments, compared with 47% of independents and 22% of Democrats.
These surveys are such nonsense. And lol at literally asking people if immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country”. I also really want to see the literal questions they’re asking and in what order.
It’s like they’re basically trying to goad Americans into saying right-wing stuff about immigrants. There is nothing in here about any positive impact immigrants have. There is nothing that gives the opposite narrative, despite the fact that the people with right-wing opinions are objectively in the minority of all of their questions. Of course a lot of the results are shaped by media propaganda and poll results like this so it isn’t to say that it isn’t gross that so many people would respond this way. But I’m still extremely skeptical.
