The recent Gallup poll reveals a seismic shift in American attitudes towards immigration, with support reaching a 25-year high despite a concerted crackdown under Trump’s administration. This surge, driven by increased acceptance across political lines and a decline in anti-immigrant sentiment, signals a complex realignment in public opinion that could undermine the administration’s aggressive deportation agenda.
