Most Americans outside border areas do not feel they are losing their country, even if they think immigration is too high.

Judge as of 2026-03-04 against nationally representative US polls (2024–2026) that ask whether respondents feel they are 'losing their country', feel like 'strangers in their own country', or feel the country is changing too fast because of immigration, ideally broken down by region or proximity to the border. True if such polling shows that a majority of Americans (excluding border-area residents, where that breakdown exists) do not hold that feeling, even where a majority or a large share says immigration is too high. Mostly true if a majority does not hold the feeling but the margin is narrow, or if the regional split is unavailable but national figures support the claim. Mixed if results are close to 50% or differ across reputable polls. Mostly false if most polls show around half or more agreeing with such statements, so that the claim overstates. False if a clear majority of Americans, including those outside border areas, say they feel they are losing their country. Unresolvable if no poll measures this sentiment.

   “These days I feel like a stranger in my own country”

PRRI's 2025 American Values Survey found 51% of Americans disagree that "Things have changed so much that I often feel like a stranger in my own country," while 46% agree (E1). That is a narrow majority not holding the feeling, and the survey gives national figures only, with no border-area breakdown. Under the criteria, this fits "mostly true" (a narrow majority, or national figures only). The NPR/Ipsos item (E3) shows a similar question but no results, and the partisan split (E2) does not change the national total.
