How we did thisPew Research Center conducted this study to understand Americans’ views of immigration policy in the U.S. For this analysis, we surveyed 5,044 adults from June 2 to 8, 2025. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center’s American Trends Panel (ATP), a group of people recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses who have agreed to take surveys regularly.

As in past years, a majority of Americans say there should be ways for immigrants who are currently living in the country illegally to stay legally if certain requirements are met – 65% say this today. But the share who say this is lower than a few years ago, with more now saying that there should not be a path to legal status and that there should be a national deportation effort. Today, 31% of U.S. adults say there should be a national deportation effort.
