This study examined immigrants' views about the United States (U.S.) and their recent experiences there. Survey data indicated that, problems notwithstanding, most immigrants felt there was no better place than the U.S. to live. Most said the U.S. was a unique country that stood for something special in the world. Many said there were changes since the September 11th attacks (e.g., the government is much stricter about enforcing immigration laws, and there is more prejudice against nonwhite immigrants). Nearly 70 percent said they experienced little or no discrimination. Most felt the U.S. was better than their home country in many important respects, including having an honest government and a trustworthy legal system. Immigrants expressed strong feelings about earning their own way and not relying on public assistance. About 13 percent thought the U.S. was too closed, and 31 percent thought it was too open to accepting new immigrants. Nearly half said learning English was a greater challenge than discrimination or bureaucracy, though they tended to believe that immigrants should be expected to learn English. Many immigrants, though planning to stay in the U.S., maintained close ties with home. Mexican immigrants accounted for more than one-fourth of the immigrant population. Research methodology, complete survey results, and related publications are attached. (SM)
