Abstract:
Immigration policies in the United States remain a paramount topic in shaping the nation’s sociopolitical culture in the status quo; nuances in public sentiment pertaining to both immigration and are imperative in recognizing the broader implications of this issue. To gauge public sentiment on this and associated issues, a poll was conducted titled Taking America’s Pulse 2016 Class Survey. The Survey organization was the German data and analytics firm, Growth from Knowledge (GfK) Group, and was sponsored by Cornell University faculty members, Peter K. Enns, Ph.D., Professor of Government, and Jonathon Schuldt, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Communication. This research will examine two (2) questions from the referenced 2016 poll, Question I, “Do you think the number of immigrants admitted into the US is too high, too low, or about the right amount?” and Question II, “Would you support or oppose a proposal to increase penalties for undocumented immigrants who overstay their visa in the US?”. This secondary data analysis further studies the aforementioned questions by examining respondents’ political party affiliation.
