A MAJORITY of US adults believe their country is no longer a great place for immigrants, according to a new survey, and about one-third of respondents report knowing someone impacted by the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement.

Of the more than 2,500 people questioned in the Associated Press-NORC Centre for Public Affairs Research poll, about 60 per cent said the country used to be a great place for immigrants but is not anymore.

About one-third of US adults — and about 60 per cent of Hispanic adults — said that over the last year they or someone they know has started carrying proof of their immigration status or US citizenship, been detained or deported, changed travel plans or significantly changed routines — such as avoiding work, school or leaving the house — because of their immigration status.

The poll comes as the US Supreme Court considers whether President Donald Trump’s administration should be allowed to restrict birthright citizenship.

About two-thirds of respondents said that automatic citizenship should be granted to all children born in the country.
