Once Donald Trump takes office again in January 2025, the immigration debate, one of the most divisive issues in America, is undoubtedly going to get amplified into something much, much bigger this time around.

From the border wall to mass deportations, these things will affect everyone in the US, whether they like it or not.

A new Pew Research study details what Americans really think of undocumented immigrants, and revealed their thoughts on whether or not those currently considered "illegal" should be allowed to continue living in American without any threats. Pew surveyed 9,201 adults between in August 2024 through a randomized national database. Here's what they said.

Two-thirds of Trump supporters surveyed didn't want undocumented immigrants to live in America, whereas nearly nine out of 10 Harris supporters surveyed had the opposite opinion.

  • Overall, nearly two out of every three American adults believe that undocumented immigrants should be given a pathway to continue residing in the country โ€” but only if they meet certain conditions.
  • Among these conditions, two top ones include passing a security background check (79 percent said it has to be required) and being employed (52 percent want it to be required.)
  • There was also an overwhelming majority for issues that respondents didn't consider important enough for requirement, like if a person moved to the US as a child, their history of fines, if their children were born in the US or if they owned a business or property in the country.
