From gun control to taxation to the environment, you can be sure most polls will show a familiar Democrat-Republican, liberal-conservative split. That’s what makes the responses on immigration in this week’s Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll so noteworthy.
According to the poll, there is broad consensus across many groups to allow a pathway to citizenship, under certain conditions. More than 50% of Democrats and Republicans, young and old, wealthy and poor, urban and suburban, white and nonwhite, support an immigration overhaul that provides a pathway to citizenship — as along as illegal immigrants “pay a fine, any back taxes, pass a security background check, and take other required steps.” [cont.]
