Voters nationwide are much more receptive to an immigration policy that helps illegal immigrants achieve legal status rather than one that focuses on deportation, a new poll released Tuesday shows.
The latest poll from CNN and ORC International shows that 56 percent of registered voters believe the U.S. government’s primary focus should be on a plan that allows employed illegal immigrants to become legal residents.
Comparatively, 39 percent believe the government’s main focus should be on stemming the flow of illegal immigration and deporting those who are already living here.
