Poll: Most Americans ready to kick illegal immigrants to the curb

2/21/2013

Adios. Au revoir. Arrivederci. Auf wiedersehen. A majority of Americans are ready to say goodbye to illegal immigrants, regardless of what language they're saying it in. According to a recent Reuters poll, more than 50 percent of U.S. citizens said that "most or all of" our country's 11 million illegal immigrants should be booted back to their home countries. Only 5 percent believe that all illegal immigrants should be able to stay. These results are largely unchanged from similar surveys that have been conducted in the past few years, despite ongoing debates about immigration reform. "It's not Americans' views that are shifting," pollster Julia Clark said. "It is that the political climate is ripe for this discussion." [Source]
