Two-thirds of Republicans want legalized migration to be decreased or ended, says a new poll by YouGov.
In contrast, 17 percent of Democrats want legalized migration to be cut back, says the poll of 1,632 citizens, which was conducted December 11-15.
But 37 percent of Democratic voters want more legal migration, and as does six percent of GOP voters, said the poll.
Amid the partisan polarization, there is a two-to-one plurality for less migration vs more migration. Just 18 percent of citizens want legalized migration to be increased, while 35 percent want it decreased or zeroed.
Twenty-five percent said the number should not be changed, even though establishment outlets rarely described the actual inflow of legalized migrants each year. Under Joe Biden, the inflow of all migrants was roughly level with the number of births.
Each year, the federal government imports more than 1.2 million legalized permanent or temporary migrants. That is roughly one legalized migrant for every three births.
The 26 percent who favor “decreased” migration is the plurality score in the YouGov poll, partly because an unusually large 19 percent of respondents declined to reveal their preference.
The December poll was a close match for a prior November poll by YouGov.
Other polls show overwhelming support for the deportation of all illegal migrants who commit major crimes, and a solid majority support for the deportation of all illegal migrants.
The sharp partisan differences in migration help to explain the wild swings in U.S. immigration policies during the last decade, and why Congress cannot forge a compromise.
