New Study Looks Beyond Issue of “Immigration” to Reveal Opinions on Immigrants Themselves

Victoria Asbury-Kimmel

A new study finds that views of immigrants vary by political party affiliation, with Republicans holding both negative and positive perceptions of immigrants and Democrats expressing uniformly positive ones. 

“While there has been a lot of research on immigration, not much is known about what people think about immigrants themselves,” says Victoria Asbury-Kimmel, a sociologist who conducted the research.
