When asked their thoughts about “legal immigration” specifically, even more Americans, about 84 percent, said it was good for the country.
Support for reining in immigration is at its lowest level in more than half a century: Just 29 percent of Americans believe it should be decreased, the smallest share recorded by Gallup since at least 1965.
