Most AAPI adults think legal immigrants give the U.S. a major
economic boost
By T. TANG/L. SANDERS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Asian
American, Native Hawaiian
and Pacific Islander adults
are more likely than the over-
all U.S. population to view
legal immigration as an as-
set to the country's economy
and workforce, according
to a new poll.
When it comes to the risks
posed by illegal immigration,
though, their views are similar
to those of Americans overall.
About 8 in 10 AAPI adults say
legal immigration to the U.S.
is a "major benefit" contribut-
ing to economic growth, a
survey released Monday by
AAPI Data and The Associ-
ated Press-NORC Center for
Public Affairs Research finds.
In comparison, around 4 in
10 Americans overall felt the
same way in an AP-NORC
poll conducted in March.
Similarly, around three-
quarters of AAPI voters say
skilled expertise in science
and technology is a major
benefit of legal immigration,
compared with about 4 in 10
Americans in March.

construction or in another trade in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York on May 3, 2024.
