New Yorkers remain overwhelmingly in favor of immigration to the United States despite the state's burgeoning crisis to house and resettle newcomers arriving from the southern border.
New polling from the upstate Siena College Research Institute found that the majority of New York residents want the federal government to make it easier for newcomers to obtain documents to work and want to see immigrants housed on federal property rather than in privately owned hotels and city shelters.
Seventy-two percent said immigrants bring vitality to America, and 60% believed businesses need immigrants to be successful. Slightly more people disagreed with the statement that immigrants take in more resources than they return in economic activity — 48% to 42%. However, 43% of the poll's respondents identified as Democrats — more than double the 21% who said they were Republicans. The remaining 36% were undecided or independent-affiliated. The higher numbers of Democrats polled were meant to mirror the percentage of New Yorkers who lean to the left politically than to the right.
