A majority of likely voters supports giving legal status to illegal immigrants provided the border is secured to prevent future illegal immigration, according to a Rasmussen survey published Tuesday. However, only 30 percent think the federal government would actually follow through on border security, compared to 57 percent who said the government would be unlikely to do so.
According to the survey, 55 percent of likely voters favor a comprehensive immigration reform plan that would “secure the border and prevent future immigration” while giving legal status to “those who entered the country illegally but have otherwise obeyed the law.” However, when asked if current illegal immigrants should be “granted legal status right away or…only after the border is secured,” 66 percent of respondents said border security should come first.
