There has been a lot of media attention surrounding illegal immigration over the past few years. How do Americans feel about illegal immigration, and what measures do they favor or oppose? Be sure to identify differences among Republicans and Democrats.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Only about a third of Americans say that they worry a great deal about illegal immigration, a figure that has remained relatively steady for many years.
2. A small but growing minority feel that illegal immigration was the most important social problem facing the nation (11%)
3. The reason that two-thirds of Americans do not worry a great deal about illegal immigration may be because many people are unsure what to do about it.
4. Regardless of political affiliation, most Americans favor allowing immigrants living in the United States illegally the chance to become U.S citizens if they meet certain requirements over a period of time.
5. Only one-third of Americans favor building a wall along the entire U.S.-Mexico border, although almost two-thirds of Republicans favor this.
6. Less than a third of Americans favor deporting all illegal immigrants back to their home country, although half of Republicans favor this.
