‘Support for providing immigrants living in the country illegally with a pathway to legal status in the U.S. has increased over the past six months, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.
In the latest poll, conducted earlier this week, registered voters were asked if they “had to choose” whether they prefer giving a pathway to legal status or deporting most immigrants who don’t have legal permission to live in America.
Today, 64 percent say they prefer giving a path to legal status, while 31 percent prefer deportation, and 5 percent don’t know or didn’t answer.
That’s a significant change from a poll conducted in December, when 55 percent supported providing a pathway to legal status, 36 percent preferred deportation, and 9 percent didn’t know or skipped the question.
The overall uptick in support for a path to legal status is driven largely by an increase in support among Republicans and independents.’
Undocumented immigrants not granted asylum should be allowed to obtain legal status.
