More than two-thirds of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 say immigrants strengthen the United States, while 19 percent see them as a threat to American culture, compared with 36 percent and 44 percent among those age 65 or older, a report from the Public Religion Research Institute finds. According to the report, How Americans View Immigrants, and What They Want From Immigration Reform: Findings from the 2015 American Values Atlas (31 pages, PDF), Asian and Pacific Islanders (70 percent) and Latinos (67 percent) are more likely than African Americans (56 percent) and whites (45 percent) to view immigrants as a positive influence on U.S. society. The survey also found that among white Americans, those with higher educational attainment were less likely to view immigrants as a threat; that the religiously unaffiliated, those who belong to non-Christian religious traditions, and non-white Christians were most likely to view immigrants positively; and that Democrats (63 percent) and Independents (52 percent) were more likely than Republicans (32 percent) to do so; there are divisions, however, among conservatives, moderates, and liberals within those party affiliations. Funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Ford, Arcus, Gill, and Nathan Cummings foundations, the report also found that attitudes about immigrants are most negative in the Deep South, Appalachia, and Wyoming.
