In a jaw-dropping twist that’ll make anti-immigration trolls squirm, a recent Gallup poll just dropped some seriously spicy stats about how Americans really feel about immigrants. Buckle up for a reality check that’ll make xenophobes weep.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Immagine this: 79% of Americans now think immigration is a good thing. That’s right, folks. The same country that’s been throwing shade at immigrants for years is suddenly singing a different tune. Only 17% view immigration as a “bad thing” - and honestly, they’re probably the same people who think pineapple belongs on pizza.

Political Whiplash

Senator Alex Padilla, the son of Mexican immigrants, isn’t shy about calling out the BS. “Our economy depends on immigrants,” he boldly declares. And he’s not wrong. California, the fourth-largest economy globally, is living proof that immigrants aren’t just workers - they’re entrepreneurs, consumers, and the backbone of innovation.

The Trump Effect

Here’s the kicker: during the Biden administration, immigration concerns spiked. But when Trump’s “tough” policies rolled out, suddenly everyone chilled out. The poll even revealed that 78% now support a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants - a massive jump from 70% last year.

So, to all the immigration fear-mongers: your time is up. The future is diverse, welcoming, and absolutely unstoppable.
