A new AP-NORC/AAPI Data poll finds that most Asian American and Pacific Islander adults have experienced or witnessed some degree of upheaval because of the Trump administration's heightened immigration policies. A majority also say the U.S. used to be a great country for immigrants, but is not anymore. The findings come after more than a year of immigration crackdowns. The poll indicates that the Trump administration's aggressive approach may be changing the way some see the U.S. itself. At the same time, AAPI adults are more likely than Americans overall to see the mixing of culture and values from around the world as central to the country's identity.

President Donald Trump's administration has announced a new policy requiring green card seekers to apply from their home countries instead of in the U.S. This change has left many immigrants and attorneys confused and concerned. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced the change Friday, affecting hundreds of thousands of applicants each year. It's unclear what exceptions might be allowed, although USCIS indicated to The Associated Press that people who provide an "economic benefit" or "national interest" could likely apply from the U.S. The move is part of a pivot by Trump's Republican administration to target legal pathways to immigration, after focusing since last year mostly on migrants in the U.S. illegally.
