A majority of Asian American and Pacific Islander adults believe the United States is no longer a great country for immigrants, according to a new poll released Monday by AAPI Data and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

The survey found that about 6 in 10 AAPI adults believe the U.S. used to be a great country for immigrants but is not anymore. Only about 3 in 10 say America is currently a great place for immigrants, while 5% say it was never a great place for immigrants.

Approximately half of AAPI adults reported that they or someone they know have experienced immigration-related disruptions in the past year, including detention or deportation, carrying proof of immigration status or citizenship, changing travel plans, or significantly altering daily routines due to immigration concerns. The poll indicates these experiences have occurred during a period of heightened immigration enforcement policies.

The findings reflect perspectives from one of the country's fastest-growing demographic groups, with most AAPI adults in the U.S. born outside the country. Karthick Ramakrishnan, founder and executive director of AAPI Data, noted the significance of long-term residents questioning America's status as a destination for immigrants.

The survey also revealed that AAPI adults are more likely than Americans overall to view cultural mixing as central to the country's identity. About 73% of AAPI adults say the mixing of cultures and values from around the world is extremely or very important to U.S. national identity, compared to 55% of all U.S. adults in a separate April poll.

The poll of 1,075 AAPI adults was conducted April 20-28 using NORC's probability-based Amplify AAPI Panel, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
