ATTITUDES TOWARDS IMMIGRATION TAKE A HIT FROM 9/11New Jerseyans Like Their Immigrant Neighbors, But Aren’t Sure They Want More
Most New Jerseyans would like to see legal immigration into the United States reduced, if not stopped altogether. Nearly six in ten favor reduction of current immigration levels.

Just over half of residents report they have become more opposed to immigration as a result of the terrorist attacks last year on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
