Immigration – Public Opinion Realities and Policy Political Opportunities

A “friends and family” memo to Congress on the immigration issue by Kellyanne Conway, President & CEO of the polling company, inc./WomanTrend, shows that “Americans are more focused, and more opinionated on the issue of immigration than in recent years.”

Some of the highlights:

• 81% of voters support of immigration policies that protect the American workers and allowing workers a fair opportunity to do the jobs that illegal immigrants currently do.

• Americans favor (58%-32%) the three main aspects of recent legislation passed in the House on immigration policy: enforcement of current law, repatriation of young illegal immigrants to their home countries, and limiting the President’s ability to use executive action to legalize immigrants on his own.

• There is a desire (74%-24%) for the President to work with Congress, rather than around them with executive action. CONT.
