In two recent public opinion polls, large majorities of voters said they favor immigration enforcement<\/a>, reduced immigration, and immigration policies that protect the American worker. These findings came from two nationwide surveys<\/a> conducted<\/a> of 1,001 likely voters from July 16-20, 2014 and 1008 adults from August 7-10, 2014, jointly released last week by pollster Kellyanne Conway<\/a>.<\/p>\n Conway’s poll found that Americans favor more immigration enforcement and reduced levels of immigration<\/a> over amnesty policies. Seventy-five percent of respondents want more enforcement, including 63% of Hispanics and over 50% of Democrats.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Most favor limiting chain migration<\/a> to spouses and minor children, while 76% said adult foreign citizens who overstay their visas<\/a> should not be permitted to remain in the United States.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition, 70% of those polled believe most illegal aliens should be encouraged to return to their home countries rather than offered legal status in the United States and more than two-thirds of likely voters, including 64% of union members, believe that the U.S. should deny illegal aliens jobs and welfare benefits to encourage repatriation to their home countries.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
