CNN/ORC Poll: Vast Majority of Americans Disagree With Trump on Immigration

[Gass3268]

Thinking about the way the U.S. government deals with the issue of illegal immigration,
which of the following policy goals should be the government’s top priority:

Developing a plan to allow those in theU.S. illegally who have jobs to become legal residents - 60% (+9)
Developing a plan to stop immigrants from entering the U.S. illegally - 26% (-10)
Deporting immigrants already in the U.S. illegally - 13% (+2)

Do you think the government should attempt to deport all people currently living in the
country illegally or should the government not attempt to do that?

Should not - 71% (-3)
Should - 27% (+5)

Do you think the government should attempt to deport all people currently living in the
country illegally who have been convicted of other crimes while living in the U.S., or
should the government not attempt to do that?

Should 78% (-5)
Should Not 19% (+4)

Thinking about the way that the U.S. goes about enforcing immigration policies, which of
the following concerns you more

Deportation efforts will go too far and result in deportation of people who haven't committed serious crimes - 58%
Deportation efforts won't go far enough and dangerous criminals will remain in the United States - 40%

Now, thinking about how the U.S. government should treat illegal immigrants who have
been in this country for a number of years, hold a job, speak English and are willing to
pay any back taxes that they owe.

Would you favor or oppose a bill that allowed those immigrants to stay in this country
rather than being deported and eventually allow them to apply for U.S. citizenship?

Favor 90% (+2)
Oppose 9% (-2)
