These Are The Americans Turning on Trump’s Immigration Policies

President Donald Trump was elected to office in November 2024 on a platform centered largely on immigration. Trump’s hardline stance on border security and deporting undocumented migrants stood in stark contrast to the Biden administration, under which illegal border crossings hit record highs. Because immigration was a critical issue for millions of Americans — 72%, according to a Gallup poll — in the 2024 presidential election, Trump’s longstanding and outspoken views on immigration were likely a meaningful factor in his electoral victory.

Now, months into his second term, Trump has fundamentally altered U.S. immigration policy, and, partially as a result, illegal border crossings have fallen to an all-time low. But while effective in some respects, Trump’s aggressive approach to immigration has also been controversial. (Here is a look at illegal border crossing numbers under the Trump administration.)

Within weeks of being sworn in, Trump sent hundreds of additional active-duty military personnel to the southern border, pressured foreign governments to retrieve their citizens illegally residing in the United States, and issued executive orders that expanded the power of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to turn away asylum seekers and conduct raids in previously restricted areas, including schools, hospitals, or churches — while also implementing and expanding daily arrest quotas. In addition, President Trump has expedited the deportation process by denying certain undocumented migrants access to legal defense.

The President’s $5 million “Gold Card” visa program—an attempt to offer a pathway to citizenship for wealthy foreigners—and the gutting of the U.S. refugee resettlement program—with notable exceptions carved out for white South Africans—have also drawn widespread criticism.

Given the rapid implementation of these policies — which have been characterized by critics as inhumane, hypocritical, and in some cases, possibly illegal — it is perhaps not surprising that public opinion of Trump’s approach to immigration has steadily eroded since he took office. According to a recent poll conducted by Morning Consult, a public opinion research company, 51.3% of registered voters approve of Trump’s immigration policies, down from 55.5% at the outset of his presidency. Among certain groups of American voters, Trump’s immigration approval ratings have fallen by even more.

Using data from Morning Consult, 24/7 Wall St. identified the Americans who are turning against Trump’s immigration policies. We reviewed polling results among multiple demographic groups and subgroups—including gender, race, religion, educational attainment, employment status and sector, income, age, voting history, and political ideology and affiliation, among others—and ranked them based on the change in their approval rating of Trump’s handling of immigration issues since the start of his second term. The baseline survey was conducted between Jan. 31 and Feb. 3, 2025, and the latest survey numbers were collected between June 27 and June 29, 2025. We also calculated more recent changes in Trump’s immigration approval rating by comparing his current numbers to those collected from May 30 to June 2, 2025. 

Since the early days of the new administration, support for Trump’s immigration policies has fallen in all but 10 of the 55 demographic groups considered in this story. Among the 41 demographic groups that rank on this list, Trump’s immigration approval rating has fallen by anywhere from 2.4 to nearly 25 percentage points. 

For several of the groups on this list — including registered Democrats, Black Americans, and voters who cast a ballot for Kamala Harris in 2024 — Trump’s approach to immigration issues have never been especially popular. Still, some of the largest declines in Trump’s approval ratings on immigration have been reported among groups that make up his base, including ideological conservatives, Christians, and registered Republicans. (Here is a look at the Americans who are most likely to approve of the Trump administration so far.)

These are the Americans who are souring on Trump’s immigration policies.

Why It Matters

In his first few months in office, President Donald Trump has upended American immigration policy. While some of the new administration’s policies have helped slow illegal border crossings to a trickle, others have been highly controversial. Partially as a result, popular support for Trump’s approach to immigration has been steadily eroding — even among some demographic groups that constitute the president’s political base.
