Growing discontent over U.S. immigration policies has sparked widespread protests and political turmoil, according to a multilingual survey by CGTN involving 6,054 global respondents. Nearly 80% criticized America's anti-immigrant measures as contradictory to its historical identity, while 89% linked the debate to deepening political polarization between Democrats and Republicans.
Political Tensions Boil Over
As demonstrations spread across Los Angeles and federal troops deploy, 89.6% of respondents identified immigration as a flashpoint in federal-state conflicts. The survey highlights concerns that partisan clashes over border security and migrant rights could exacerbate social divisions, with 86% calling it a chronic governance failure.
Humanitarian Concerns Mount
Over 70% expressed fears that aggressive enforcement tactics might trigger violence and humanitarian crises. Recent scandals involving migrant detention facilities have amplified these worries, with 87% condemning systemic human rights violations in U.S. immigration practices.
Broader Societal Strains
The survey underscores how immigration debates intersect with wealth inequality and political gridlock. Nearly 74% agreed that ordinary Americans face growing hardships amid these challenges, suggesting deeper structural issues beyond policy disagreements.
Conducted across English, Spanish, French, Arabic, and Russian platforms, the 24-hour poll reflects global perspectives on a issue reshaping U.S. domestic stability and international reputation.
