Latest Poll Shows 87% in U.S. Support Comprehensive Immigration Reform (LINK)

In the new Benenson Strategy Group poll (December 2009), voters were asked about several aspects of comprehensive immigration reform. Perhaps not surprisingly, 89 percent supported increasing security on the U.S.-Mexico border and an identical number supported cracking down on employers who hire illegal immigrants. But nearly as many—87 percent—also supported a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, provided they registered with the government and met requirements like working, paying taxes, and learning English.
