MINNEAPOLIS — Six in 10 respondents to an AP-NORC poll conducted last month said the United States used to be a great place for immigrants but no longer is. Only a quarter of adults believed the U.S. was welcoming to immigrants, and about one in 10 said it never had been.

One-third of respondents said they or somebody they knew personally had been affected by the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the previous 12 months. Among Hispanic adults, that figure rose to about 60%, and almost half of Hispanic respondents said they had started carrying proof of their U.S. citizenship or permanent residence for fear of being detained or deported by federal immigration agencies.

The poll was conducted 14 months after Donald Trump returned to the White House and expanded immigration-enforcement operations. Trump deployed thousands of immigration agents, sometimes backed by the U.S. military, into several cities and states to round up and detain people in the country illegally, embarking on what he described as the "largest deportation operation in U.S. history."

In January in Minneapolis, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two unarmed U.S. citizens protesting against the government's immigration actions, were shot and killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Protection officers.

Reid Gibson, a retiree, said: "It's just plain wrong. This is not a good country for immigrants any more."

Kathy Bailey, an Illinois Democrat, said a relative who had recently obtained citizenship felt unsafe without documentation. "She's an American citizen now, but she's so scared that she has to carry her passport," Bailey said.

Nick Grivas, a Massachusetts resident, said: "We can see how we're treating children and the children of the immigrants, and we're not viewing them as potential future Americans." Grivas also said, "You're less willing to commit to the project if you don't think that you're gonna be able to stay."

The poll also examined views on birthright citizenship, which Trump has sought to limit through an executive order restricting U.S. citizenship to those who have at least one parent who is already a citizen. Sixty-five percent of respondents said all children born in the United States should be entitled to citizenship regardless of their parents' status. That figure climbed to 75% when the parents were non-citizens legally present in the country, and fell to 49% when the parents were in the country illegally.
