Interesting poll out from CNN.
I’ve often heard it suggested that blacks are more hostile to illegal immigrants than whites because of competition over jobs. Not so, way more whites are hostile to illegals.
14% of blacks say there should be more illegals in the country than there are now; 3% of whites agree. 19% of blacks think all illegal immigrants should be deported; 35% of whites agree. I don’t find this very surprising. But it counters an assumption I’ve heard a lot.
The breakdown of views? 7% of Americans want more illegal immigration. 22% are fine how it is. And 16% want it decreased “a little.” In other words, 45% of Americans are bothered by the issue little or not at all.
