President Trump’s proposal moving to a “merit-based” immigration system might resonate with voters, according to Pulse Opinion Research polling sponsored by right-leaning, restrictionist Numbers USA Education & Research Foundation.
The Washington Examiner is the first to obtain Pulse Opinion Research’s report. Researchers found that the majority of voters in 25 states, when asked about what levels of immigration the government should allow, preferred between 25 and 75 percent cuts in annual immigration figures. The most popular choice among respondents was requiring at least 75 percent cuts to annual legal immigration numbers.
