The Poll from the NY Times Poll conducted on May 4th,2010 with 1,079 adults suggests most Americans want Immigration Reform at the National level, however it also suggests they are divided on how to tackle this problem.
This issue goes across party lines, 57%, Americans said that the "Federal government should determine the laws addressing illegal immigration." Most Americans,78%, agree however "The US should be doing more to help keeps illegal immigrants out and our borders more secure."
Some opinions have remained stable. Most Americans agree immigrants weaken the economy rather than strenghten it. 75% surveyed said illegalimmigrants were a drain on the economy because they did not pay their share of taxes or public services.
Thus far there is no bill in Congress and President Obama is not confident enough to say this issue will be addressed this year.]
