Number of Americans wanting reduced immigration skyrockets, most since 2001: poll
Why Troubling News:
This article is misleading because, as the leading members of the Republican party have become more conservative and extremist in some cases, discussions around immigration have dramatically changed. Certainly, the number of people who have shifted their opinions on immigration and oppose it is subject to change at any time. That said, this article does not reflect the increased hostility and negative sentiments spewed toward immigrants that has altered how people feel about the situation. Additionally, the "border crisis" has been at the forefront of policy concerns for a number of politicians and so people are hearing about this more which makes it seem like America is suffering from a dangerous immigration issue. This article shares a real issue, but it is not fully accurate in explaining which American desires on the topic have shifted so prevalently in recent years.
