Source: Kaiser Family Foundation Survey of Immigrants: Views and Experiences in the Early Days of President Trump's Second Term. The survey was conducted March 6-April 13, 2025, among a nationally representative sample of 511 U.S. immigrants.
Note: Lawfully present immigrants are noncitizens who report being a lawful permanent resident ("green card holder") or having a valid work or student visa. Other noncitizen immigrants (likely undocumented immigrants) are included in total but cannot be reported separately due to insufficient sample size. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race but are categorized as Hispanic for this analysis; other groups are non-Hispanic.
