“…Specifically, some studies have found that population characteristics, such as age, political ideology, income, education, marital status, religion, region, rural–urban residency, and gender, continue to influence public attitude towards immigration policy in the USA (Bowling & Westenra, 2017 ; Brown & Brown, 2017 ; Davis & Deole, 2015 ; Docquier et al, 2012 ; Garcia & Davidson, 2013 ; Haaland & Roth, 2020 ; Knoll, 2009 ; Lichter, 2012 ; Provine & Sanchez, 2011 ). Similar to these findings, a recent study by Dzordzormenyoh & Perkins ( 2022 ) found that the international reputation and image of the USA based on the immigration policies espoused and implemented influence public attitude towards immigration (also see Kudrle, 2003 ; Rocha et al, 2015 ; Manley, 2017 ; Giuliano & Tabellini, 2020 ; Isaacs et al, 2020 ).…”

Previous attitudinal studies on immigration in the USA largely focus on the predictors of anti-immigration sentiments compared to examining immigration policies. The dearth of scientific enquiry about the latter necessitated the present study. By analyzing individual-level data ( n = 1018) obtained from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), we assess the effect of geopolitics–red and blue states and other factors on public attitude towards six immigration policies in the USA (2017–2021). Overall, the results indicate a null relationship between geopolitics and public attitude towards immigration policies. Additionally, we observed several sociodemographic factors, such as age, political ideology, party affiliation, and region, influence public attitude towards immigration policies. Based on these results, it is recommended that immigration policies formulated and implemented in the USA must be based on empirical evidence and not sentiments.
