No...the past seemed to encompass ten years or so ago. Forgot to post the link to the Gallup poll http://www.gallup.com/poll/155210/americans-positive-immigration.aspx
"An update to one of Gallup's longest-standing questions on immigration finds more Americans in favor of keeping levels the same (42%) than in favor of decreasing them (35%). For most of the past 40 years, the opposite has been true, with more calling for decreased immigration than keeping the status quo." So it seems to be a fairly recent switch.
