Voter Opinion on Immigration

Reform

Thinking now about immigration reform...As you may know, the House of Representatives is beginning to consider different immigration reform proposals. One option is legislation that would significantly increase border security, block employers from hiring undocumented immigrants, and make sure that undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. with no criminal record register for legal status. If immigrants were to meet a list of requirements, they could eventually apply for citizenship. Knowing this information, would you support or oppose this legislation?

Voter Opinion on Path to

Citizenship

As you may know, the House of Representatives is beginning to consider a series of immigration-related legislation. Some members of Congress support a bill that would provide legal status for undocumented immigrants, but not a real chance at earning citizenship. While, other members of Congress prefer a bill that would provide legal status for undocumented immigrants but also require them pay a penalty, learn English, pass a criminal background check, pay taxes and wait thirteen years to become eligible for citizenship. Which of these two options do you agree with more?
