Public views on trade and immigration
#1
The GSS has at time asked people for their view on trade and in most years it asks people about their views on immigration.  From the 2014 GSS here’s how people view immigration based on their views on trade:

As you can see the more restrictive trade policies people favor the more likely they are to support immigration restrictions. Ignore disagree strongly the sample size is too small.   While amongst political commentators and intellectuals opposition to free trade is correlated with less restrictive immigration, the opposite is true among the general public.

Here is overall opinion on immigration in 2014

Trumps view's on trade and immigration represent the views of a many of Americans but are unpopular with the political class.

I say limit everything - the number of immigrants we let it, the number of foreign products we let in, and the number of jobs we let out.

Preferably to zero on all three - until unemployment has gone down to 3.5% or lower and stays there for at least 12 consecutive months.

Trump will at least make several necessary beginning steps that Hillary would refuse to do. Trump would repeal TPP and NAFTA.
