Public opinion is highly lopsided when it comes to weighing the work effort of immigrants versus whites \u2014 some 64% of adults in this country agree that immigrants work harder than whites at low-paying jobs, compared with just 26% who disagree.

One pattern is consistent regardless of race: both whites and blacks are more likely to say that whites are outworked at low-wage jobs by immigrants than to say that blacks are out-worked at such jobs by immigrants. Public opinion on these questions hasn\u2019t changed much since 1986, despite the fact that this country has experienced a heavy influx of immigrants, many of whom have come to work at low-wage jobs, in the past two decades.
