According to a new poll from the Public Religion Research Institute, a significant majority of Americans (63 percent) supports immigration reform that includes an ultimate pathway to citizenship.Despite the likelihood that such a provision would be described by some on the right as dread “amnesty,” the poll found a full 60 percent of Republicans — as well as 57 percent of independents and 73 percent of Democrats — support a pathway. Support held strong across religious affiliations, too.The report also polled two different versions of a pathway — one with requirements like learning English, paying back taxes, and passing a background check; and one without — and found that support stayed at a strong 59 percent with no requirements, while rocketing up to a full 71 percent when requirements were included.Unsurprisingly, these requirements were most important to GOP respondents, whose support for a pathway dwindled to around 40 percent when no requirements were mentioned, and increased to 62 percent when they were.
the republicans are again ignoring it's constituents they are trying to suggest ways they never intend to implement for pr purposes, piece by piece isw code for their base "we ain't gonna let those lefty voting bums in here", those piece by piece will always be missing the final pieces. and those church people well they are finding out they aren't as important asthey think or republicans would get the immigration law passed.
kinda hard to be an as_hole party when you constituents are against you 2 to 1 but that never stiopped them before, we still hear "what Americans want is....." but the polls say "YOU LIE".
