    Most Americans favor guest-worker program: poll

    MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE DISCUSS LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ARTICLE AND READ THE COMMENTS

    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Most Americans believe illegal immigrants should be allowed to become guest workers and eventually U.S. citizens, but Congress should do more to close the border to stop more illegals entering the country, according to a new poll published on Tuesday.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The nationwide poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, found that by a margin of 69 percent to 27 percent, American voters say illegal immigrants should be allowed into a guest worker program with the ability to work toward citizenship over a period of several years. Such a guest worker program had wide support among voters of all political stripes.

    But 71 percent of voters said Congress must do more to deal with illegal immigrants entering the country.

    "Two-thirds of Americans favor a guest-worker program with a path to citizenship," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "Maybe a lot of Americans think back to the stories of their own immigrant families."

    "But Americans also want to close the borders to keep out illegal immigrants in the future," Carroll added. "There are big margins for a tougher border policy among all parties and among men and women."

    Sixty-five percent of American voters support -- and 32 percent oppose -- laws in their own community to fine businesses hiring illegal immigrants, according to the poll.

    "Americans think more needs to be done to deal with illegal immigration, and they want it done in their own neighborhoods as well," Carroll said.

    The poll was conducted from November 13 to 19 among 1,623 registered voters and had a margin of error of 2.4 percentage points.

    This whole article, if you want to call it that, is a misinterpetation of data..or a deception. Nothing more than propaganda..put together by some out-of-touch populist who probably has no idea what he/she's talking about.

    Yea, but there are so many gullible Americans that will see it and believe it.

    Most of these polls are nothing but a peer pressure control mechanism meant to steer the herd. Ignore them.

    Hmmm..........well the poll certainly didn't ask the opinion of the many that entered the discussion forum. I read a bunch of the opinion and failed to find more than a couple that supported a guest worker program and future legalization. Furthermore, how can any poll be taken seriously that doesn't list those that funded it. I doubt the poll was initiated and fully funded by the university. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Reuters had more to do with the poll than simply providing the news story.

    There are many polls, perhaps thousands. I doubt that Reuters would report any polls indicating a majority reject the guest worker program. Reuters has proven itself to lie and commit fraud in support of their own agenda. It's disgraceful so many media blindly reprint their garbage.
