For this analysis, we surveyed 7,647 adults from Aug. 1-14, 2022. The survey was primarily conducted on the Center\u2019s nationally representative American Trends Panel, with an oversample of Hispanic adults from Ipsos\u2019 KnowledgePanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Respondents on both panels are recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories. See the Methodology section for additional details. <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/our-methods\/u-s-surveys\/the-american-trends-panel\/\">Read more about the ATP\u2019s methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/immigration-priorities-topline-for-release.pdf\">the questions used<\/a> for the report, along with responses, and <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2022\/09\/01\/views-of-scotus-methodology\/\">its methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Majorities of Americans also say taking in civilian refugees from countries where people are trying to escape violence and war (72%) and allowing immigrants who came to the country illegally as children to remain in the U.S. and apply for legal status (72%) should be important goals for the immigration system. Each of these priorities garners more support from Democrats than Republicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About two-thirds of the public (66%) wants the immigration system to make it easier for U.S. citizens and legal residents to sponsor family members to immigrate to the U.S., while six-in-ten say establishing a way for most immigrants currently in the country illegally to stay legally should be an important immigration policy goal. A similar share (57%) says that increasing deportations of immigrants currently in the country illegally should be a very or somewhat important goal of U.S. immigration policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wide-partisan-and-ideological-differences-on-immigration-policy\">Wide partisan and ideological differences on immigration policy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For every policy asked about in the survey, there are sizable partisan differences in perceived importance.

About four-in-ten Democrats (38%) view this as a <em>very<\/em> important goal, compared with 10% of Republicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Majorities in both parties say that taking in refugees from countries where people are fleeing war and violence is an important goal. Nonetheless, more Democrats than Republicans view it as important (85% vs. 58%). Around four-in-ten Democrats (41%) say that taking in refugees is <em>very<\/em> important, while just 13% of Republicans say the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conservative Republicans are the most likely to express strong support for more restrictive immigration goals such as increased border security and increased deportations, even when compared with others in their party. Liberal Democrats, by contrast, are the least supportive of these restrictive goals while being the most supportive of establishing a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-11564\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2022\/09\/08\/republicans-and-democrats-have-different-top-priorities-for-u-s-immigration-policy\/ft_2022-09-08_immigration_03-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"ede9dd\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ede9dd;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_03.png?resize=480,318 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_03.png?resize=782,518 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_03.png?resize=960,636 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_03.png?resize=1200,795 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_03.png?resize=1280,848 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"424\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_03.png?w=640\" alt=\"A bar chart showing that Democrats are ideologically divided on the importance of U.S.-Mexico border security and increased deportations; Republicans differ on establishing a path to legal status\" class=\"wp-image-11564 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around eight-in-ten conservative Republicans (82%) say increased border security should be a very important goal for U.S. immigration policy; about half of moderates and liberals in the GOP (54%) say the same.

For example, views on taking in refugees are roughly the same as in 2019, and views on allowing immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children to apply for legal status are largely unchanged from 2016. There has been a modest increase in the share of Americans who say increasing deportations of immigrations here illegally should be a very or somewhat important goal (57% today vs. 54% in 2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-11569\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2022\/09\/08\/republicans-and-democrats-have-different-top-priorities-for-u-s-immigration-policy\/ft_2022-09-08_immigration_04-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"ede8d8\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ede8d8;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_04.png?resize=480,324 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_04.png?resize=782,528 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_04.png?resize=960,648 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_04.png?resize=1200,810 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_04.png?resize=1280,864 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"432\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/09\/ft_2022.09.08_immigration_04.png?w=640\" alt=\"A bar chart showing that the share of Democrats rating border security as an important policy goal has increased since 2019; fewer Republicans view the path to legal status as important\" class=\"wp-image-11569 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There has been a 5 percentage point increase in the share of the public who say increasing security along the U.S.-Mexico border to reduce illegal crossings should be an important goal (73% today vs. 68% three years ago).

Today, six-in-ten adults say this should be an important goal, down from 67% in 2019 and similar to the share who said this in 2016 (62%).
