The New Immigrant Survey (NIS) was a nationally representative, longitudinal study of new legal immigrants to the United States and their children. The sampling frame was based on the electronic administrative records compiled for new legal permanent residents (LPRs) by the U.S. government (via, formerly, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and now its successor agencies, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS)). The sample was drawn from new legal immigrants during May through November of 2003. The geographic sampling design took advantage of the natural clustering of immigrants. It included all top 85 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and all top 38 counties, plus a random sample of MSAs and counties. The baseline survey (ICPSR 38031) was conducted from June 2003 to June 2004 and yielded data on: 8,573 Adult Sample respondents, 810 sponsor-parents of the Sampled Child, 4,915 spouses, and 1,072 children aged 8-12. This study contains the follow-up interview, conducted from June 2007 to October 2009, and yielded data on: 3,902 Adult Sample respondents, 351 sponsor-parents of the Sampled Child, 1,771 spouses, and 41 now-adult main children. Interviews were conducted in the respondents' language of choice. Round 2 instruments were designed to track changes from the baseline and also included new questions. As with the Round 1 questionnaire, questions that were used in social-demographic-migration surveys around the world as well as the major U.S. longitudinal surveys were reviewed in order to achieve comparability. The NIS content includes the following information: demographics, health and insurance, migration history, living conditions, transfers, employment history, income, assets, social networks, religion, housing environment, and child assessment tests.

In 2024, 64 percent of survey respondents stated they think immigration is a good thing for the United States, which is a decrease from the previous year when 68 percent considered immigration a good thing. A further 32 percent of respondents said that they felt immigration was a bad thing for the country.

Public use data set on new legal immigrants to the U.S. that can address scientific and policy questions about migration behavior and the impacts of migration. A survey pilot project, the NIS-P, was carried out in 1996 to inform the fielding and design of the full NIS. Baseline interviews were ultimately conducted with 1,127 adult immigrants. Sample members were interviewed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months, with half of the sample also interviewed at three months. The first full cohort, NIS-2003, is based on a nationally representative sample of the electronic administrative records compiled for new immigrants by the US government. NIS-2003 sampled immigrants in the period May-November 2003. The geographic sampling design takes advantage of the natural clustering of immigrants. It includes all top 85 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and all top 38 counties, plus a random sample of other MSAs and counties. Interviews were conducted in respondents'' preferred languages. The baseline was multi-modal: 60% of adult interviews were administered by telephone; 40% were in-person. The baseline round was in the field from June 2003 to June 2004, and includes in the Adult Sample 8,573 respondents, 4,336 spouses, and 1,072 children aged 8-12. A follow-up was planned for 2007. Several modules of the NIS were designed to replicate sections of the continuing surveys of the US population that provide a natural comparison group. Questionnaire topics include Health (self-reports of conditions, symptoms, functional status, smoking and drinking history) and use/source/costs of health care services, depression, pain; background; (2) Background: Childhood history and living conditions, education, migration history, marital history, military history, fertility history, language skills, employment history in the US and foreign countries, social networks, religion; Family: Rosters of all children; for each, demographic attributes, education, current work status, migration, marital status and children; for some, summary indicators of childhood and current health, language ability; Economic: Sources and amounts of income, including wages, pensions, and government subsidies; type, value of assets and debts, financial assistance given/received to/from respondent from/to relatives, friends, employer, type of housing and ownership of consumable durables. * Dates of Study: 2003-2007 * Study Features: Longitudinal * Sample Size: 13,981

The Public Religion Research Institute/Brookings 2016 Immigration Survey investigates public views on immigrants and the immigration system, including concerns about the economic and cultural impact of immigrants coming to the U.S. today. It gauges support for various immigration policies, such as preventing Syrian refugees from entering the country and building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, and the feasibility of deporting immigrants illegally living in the U.S. Additionally, the survey has an extensive array of questions about the 2016 presidential primaries, including Democratic and Republican primary candidate preference and favorability ratings of the political parties, former presidents and current presidential candidates, including Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich.

This statistic shows the results of a survey on attitudes towards immigration in Sweden in 2017. During the survey period, ** percent of the respondents chose ** on the scale below thereby implying that they believe that immigration makes a mainly negative contribution to Sweden. On the contrary, * percent of the respondents selected * on the scale suggesting that immigration makes a mainly positive contribution to Sweden.

In 2024, 28 percent of survey respondents were satisfied with the level of immigration into the United States, while 64 percent of the respondents were dissatisfied. The year before, 28 percent of respondents were satisfied with the level of immigration into the country, and 63 percent were dissatisfied.

The Religion, Values, and Immigration Reform Survey addressed respondents' views on immigration reform in America. The survey gauged views on the immigration system, levels of support for immigration reform policies, and perceptions of immigrants' influence on the economy and the job market. Additional questions focused on attitudes toward both illegal and legal immigrants, the moral implications of immigration, and Congress' ability to handle immigration reform during the economic downturn.

The data contain the responses to five surveys conducted in connection with citizen forum organised by the Social Science Research Institute at Åbo Akademi University and funded by the Academy of Finland. The Deliberation across enclaves was an experiment on democratic deliberation, which culminated in two deliberation days organised in Turku, Finland. The aim of the research project was to study the impact of deliberation on the participants' attitudes, especially in relation to immigration. Based on the first survey, the respondents were divided into groups, or enclaves, of people who had either positive or negative attitudes towards immigration. In the deliberation event, some participants were in groups with others of the same opinion, while some were in groups with both opinions. The aim was to compare the changes in opinions depending on group composition. Because of the research setting, the participants did not receive information about the differing composition of the groups during deliberation, but were told about the premiss, implementation, and preliminary results of the study in a debriefing event after the deliberation. On the first collection round (questionnaire A), the respondents were asked their opinions on immigration and presented with statements relating to immigration (e.g. "It is beneficial for the Finnish economy that people move here from other countries"). The second collection round (questionnaire B) charted interest and participation in political discussions, satisfaction with Finnish immigration policy, views on politics and democracy, civic engangement, and trust in various institutions, people in general and different ethnic groups. The respondents were asked the extent to which they agreed with several statements about immigration and discussion about it, Finnish policies of accepting people from abroad, and Finland's involvement in world politics. Significance of various features and skills in determining whether a person can be considered a Finn was charted (e.g. "Is able to speak Finnish"). On the third round (questionnaire C), factual knowledge was investigated about Finnish immigration policy, immigration in Finland, and Finnish parliament and government. Questions examined knowledge about, among others, the size of the refugee quota, unemployment rate among immigrants, percentage of foreign nationals living Finland convicted of a crime in 2010, and name of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Most of the questions from the previous rounds were repeated on the fourth round (questionnaire D) in order to study changes in respondent opinions and knowledge. Additionally, a number of statements relating to the group discussions were asked at this point. These questions charted, for instance, whether the respondents felt their opinions on immigration had changed as a result of the discussion, whether their opinions had become more certain, and what their reasons for participating in the discussion were. The final round (questionnaire E) studied the changes in respondent opinions and knowledge by repeating previously asked questions for the second or third time. Background variables included, among others, the respondent's year of birth, gender, education, marital status, economic activity and occupational status, identification with a political party, membership in organisation or association, religiosity and membership in a religious community as well as annual gross income of the household and number of people in the household.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. This study aims to assess public opinion in general on the immigration issue and, in particular, the opinions of coloured people. Main Topics: Attitudinal/Behavioural Questions 1. National Sample Satisfaction/dissatisfaction with way Government is running country/Mr Callaghan as Prime Minister/Mrs Thatcher as Leader of opposition. Party most inclined to support, intended vote if there was a General Election. Most important problem facing Britain, which political party has best policies on certain issues (e.g. industrial relations, unemployment, immigration). Main problems facing area in which respondent lives (e.g. vandalism, racial prejudice, traffic, overcrowded housing), which of these is most in need of improvement, proportion of coloured to white people in area. Whether believes different races should be segregated, estimated number of coloured immigrants entering Britain in 1977 and attitude, whether immigration should be restricted and, if so, whether this should apply to relatives of people already living in Britain, whether agrees with Government promise to permit entry to all British passport holders. Attitude to repatriation with/without financial assistance and most appropriate sum, whether feels race relations are improving or deteriorating, whether making immigration a major issue at the next General Election will affect this, self-perceived degree of racial prejudice. Whether respondent would be more likely to vote Conservative at next Election if they promised to stop immigration. Agreement/disagreement with several statements concerning the National Front. Background Variables Age cohort, sex, social class, employment status, trade union membership,marital status, country of birth of respondent and parents, length of residence in UK/in locality, occupation of head of household, vote at last General Election. 2.

This statistic shows the results of a survey on attitudes towards immigration in Denmark in 2017. During the survey period, 11 percent of the respondents chose 10 on the scale below thereby implying that they believe that immigration makes a mainly negative contribution to Denmark. On the contrary, 3 percent of the respondents selected 0 on the scale suggesting that immigration makes a mainly positive contribution to Denmark.

Employing a comparative experimental design drawing on over 18,000 interviews across 11 countries on 4 continents, we revisit the discussion about economic and cultural drivers of attitudes towards immigrants in advanced democracies. We manipulate the occupational status, skin tone and national origin of immigrants in short vignettes. Results are most consistent with a sociotropic economic threat thesis: higher-skilled immigrants are preferred to lower-skilled in all countries, and at all levels of native SES. We find, in contrast, little support for the labor market competition hypothesis, since respondents are not more opposed to immigrants in their own SES stratum. While skin tone itself has little effect in any country, immigrants from Muslim majority countries do elicit significantly lower levels of support, and racial animus remains a powerful force.

The data presented in this data project were collected in the context of two H2020 research projects: ‘Enhanced migration measures from a multidimensional perspective’(HumMingBird) and ‘Crises as opportunities: Towards a level telling field on migration and a new narrative of successful integration’(OPPORTUNITIES). The current survey was fielded to investigate the dynamic interplay between media representations of different migrant groups and the governmental and societal (re)actions to immigration. With these data, we provide more insight into these societal reactions by investigating attitudes rooted in values and worldviews. Through an online survey, we collected quantitative data on attitudes towards: Immigrants, Refugees, Muslims, Hispanics, Venezuelans News Media Consumption Trust in News Media and Societal Institutions Frequency and Valence of Intergroup Contact Realistic and Symbolic Intergroup Threat Right-wing Authoritarianism Social Dominance Orientation Political Efficacy Personality Characteristics Perceived COVID-threat, and Socio-demographic Characteristics For the adult population aged 25 to 65 in seven European countries: Austria Belgium Germany Hungary Italy Spain Sweden And for ages ranged from 18 to 65 for: United States of America Colombia The survey in the United States and Colombia was identical to the one in the European countries, although a few extra questions regarding COVID-19 and some region-specific migrant groups (e.g. Venezuelans) were added. We collected the data in cooperation with Bilendi, a Belgian polling agency, and selected the methodology for its cost-effectiveness in cross-country research. Respondents received an e-mail asking them to participate in a survey without specifying the subject matter, which was essential to avoid priming. Three weeks of fieldwork in May and June of 2021 resulted in a dataset of 13,645 respondents (a little over 1500 per country). Sample weights are included in the dataset and can be applied to ensure that the sample is representative for gender and age in each country. The cooperation rate ranged between 12% and 31%, in line with similar online data collections.
