Polls Reveal How Americans Feel About Muslim Immigration

US Immigration Bonds reports on an Associated Press-GfK Poll that was conducted before Donald Trump made his contentious proposal that called for a ban on all Muslims from entering the United States. However, the comments made by presidential candidate Donald Trump seem to have tapped into a nationwide antipathy towards the Middle East.

The results did not reflect any public opinion towards Trump’s proposal, but it did follow the deadly shooting from San Bernardino, California. The study indicated that there is a suspicion of newcomers from the region where the Muslim religion predominates.

The poll found that 75% of republicans thought immigration from the Muslim predominating region was too high, with many expressing fears that there was a high possibility that Syrian refugees will commit violence. Immigration bail bondsmen in California report that the poll showed that the public wanted less immigration from the Middle East, and they believe that the United States is allowing too many people from the Middle East to migrate to the U.S., more so than any other region in the world, including Latin America.

US Immigration Bonds understands that this poll indicates that Trump’s rhetoric appeals to the public’s fears about immigration from the Middle East. The AP-GfK poll also found that 53% of Americans opposed the Obama administration’s plan to accept 10,000 refugees from Syria into the United States. Many Americans consider refugees from Syria to be a security risk to the United States.

The providers of immigration bonds in California also reported that only 41% of Americans believe that the United States has a moral obligation to offer asylum to Syrian refugees. Not surprisingly, 7 in 10 Republicans and nearly 6 in 10 independents said that the United States does not have an obligation to offer refuge, while nearly 6 in 10 Democrats believe is does.
