The new poll reveals that some Americans are more concerned about legal immigrants committing crimes in the U.S. now compared to several years ago.
A recent poll shows that Americans see fewer benefits from immigration and are more worried about legal immigrants committing crimes in the U.S. than they were a few years ago. About 4 in 10 Americans say that when immigrants come to the U.S. legally, it’s beneficial for U.S. companies to hire skilled employees in industries like science and technology.
However, a portion of Americans said there’s a risk that legal immigrants will commit crimes in the U.S. compared to 19% in 2017. The poll notes that Republicans believe immigration is an important issue for them personally, with 41% of the GOP now saying it's a risk that legal immigrants will commit crimes in the U.S., an increase from 20% in 2017. Republicans also see risks— and less benefits — from immigrants who enter the country legally and illegally.
