Raleigh, N.C. – A new poll released today by the Civitas Institute reveals that 64 percent of North Carolina voters favor the new law in Arizona regarding illegal immigration and a majority of voters want North Carolina to enact a similar measure.
According to the poll of 600 likely voters, 64 percent of voters said they favor the new immigration law in Arizona which tracks federal law and allows local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants for being in the state illegally. Twenty-five percent said they oppose it, and 11 percent said they were not sure.
In addition, 58 percent said they think North Carolina should enact a similar law. Thirty-two percent said they do not think the state should pass such a law, and nine percent said they didn’t know.
“North Carolina voters recognize the federal government’s failure to enforce the law regarding illegal immigration and agree with Arizona’s actions to take matters into their own hands,â€
