Results: Majority of Americans would like less immigration to the U.S., survey says

For the first time since 2005, a majority of Americans said they would like decreased immigration to the U.S., according to Gallup. The poll, taken in June, found 55% of Americans are in favor of curbing immigration — the highest reading since 2001, when 58% said so. The poll noted that the decline was led by fewer people saying they wanted immigration increased or kept at its present level. Immigration continues to rank among the most important problems facing the country among those polled, with 42% in the new survey saying the U.S. border with Mexico is a crisis and 35% describing it as a major problem. Overall, 64% of Americans said immigration is good for the country, and 32% said it is bad.
