Majority of Republicans believe immigrants 'hurt the country and make it a worse place to live,' say

A recent survey conducted by Fox News indicates the majority of Republicans have negative views of immigrants.

In the new poll, jointly developed by Democratic political data firm Beacon Research and Republican polling firm Shaw & Company Research, participants were asked, “In general, do you think immigrants who come to the United States today help the country and make it a better place to live or hurt the country and make it a worse place to live?”

Overall, 45% of all respondents said immigrants “help the country and make it a better place to live,” notably down from 51% in 2018. By political party, 71% of Democrats and 22% of Republicans affirmed this belief.

Meanwhile, 39% of all respondents said they believe immigrants “hurt the country and make it a worse place to live.” This belief was supported by 59% of Republicans and 21% of Democrats.

Ted Cruz is an immigrant but I don't think Canada wants him back.
