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
