A recent CGTN survey on social media has sparked a lively debate over U.S. immigration policies. Nearly 80% of respondents believe that the current anti-immigrant approach runs counter to the nation’s legacy as a country built by immigrants.
Reports from several U.S. cities, especially Los Angeles—where demonstrations and elevated security measures are part of the daily news—have intensified the discussion. One striking comment noted, "Americans are worried that a civil war is about to break out!" This sentiment highlights the deep political polarization currently in the air.
The survey further shows that almost 90% of participants see the tension between local authorities and the federal government as a sign of escalating political division. Around 72% are anxious that the intense crackdown on illegal immigration might lead to violent law enforcement measures and spark a serious humanitarian crisis. These insights resonate strongly with young, socially conscious audiences across South and Southeast Asia, who witness similar debates about fairness and justice in their own rapidly evolving urban landscapes. 😊
Released in five languages—English, Spanish, French, Arabic, and Russian—the survey gathered over 6,000 responses within 24 hours, underlining the power of digital platforms in shaping global discussions. As political and social trends continue to intertwine, staying informed is key. Let’s keep the conversation alive and make our voices heard!
