Immigration Concerns in the US
  • most views of immigration by U.S. citizens are ambivalent in nature
    • border control
      • they would like a more effective border control but don't want to spend money to solve the issue
    • workplace
      •  most recognized that unauthorized immigrants take jobs from U.S. citizens but they understand that most citizens wouldn't take these jobs so they support a path to U.S. citizenship for unauthorized immigrants
    • civil rights
      •  some U.S. citizens favor letting law enforcement officials stop and verify the legal status of anyone but the fear civil rights will be infringed as a result of racial profiling 
    • local initiatives
      • polls suggest that U.S. citizens believe unauthorized immigration is a pressing  matter that should be dealt with at the federal level, not local
