Contemporary American Attitudes toward U.S. Immigration.

Espenshade, Thomas J.; Hempstead, Katherine

International Migration Review, v30 n2 p535-70 Sum 1996

A 1993 poll surveyed attitudes of 1,363 Americans toward immigration. Attitudes relate to views about the economy, feelings of social and political alienation, and isolationist sentiments, with an important finding being the close connection between restrictionist immigration attitudes and an isolationist perspective on other international issues.
