Last fall SCSU Survey completed its annual statewide survey. The 2015 survey focused on Minnesotans’ thoughts on immigration policy and specific groups of immigrants.

 

The Survey found that more than 60 percent of Minnesotans believe immigrants have a positive or very positive effect on the United States. Twenty-five percent believe immigrants have a negative or very negative effect on the state.

 

Over 85 percent of the state feels the need for some form of strengthened immigration control.

 

Responses for the survey were gathered from 623 randomly-selected landline and cellphone users last fall at the St. Cloud State Survey Lab.
