Americans hold complex views on what should happen to undocumented immigrants. As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to ramp up mass deportations, about three-quarters of U.S. adults say they are at least somewhat concerned about the number of immigrants entering the country illegally, and a majority support enforcing mass deportation.
At the same time, most (64%) also say undocumented immigrants should have a way to stay in the country legally if certain requirements are met, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in August.
Many Americans support both deportation and having a path to legal status. Among those who support mass deportations, 43% also say undocumented immigrants should have a way to stay in the country legally.
Some Americans are more likely than others to say undocumented immigrants should have a path to stay in the U.S. legally.
Clear majorities of Hispanic, Black and Asian adults say undocumented immigrants should have a way to stay in the country. White adults are more evenly divided, though a majority also say this.
Younger adults, especially 18- to 29-year-olds, are more likely than older Americans to say undocumented immigrants should have a way to stay.
People who said before the election that they supported Kamala Harris were far more likely than Trump supporters to say undocumented immigrants should have a way to stay.
