*Survey Finds Most Americans Favor Deportation for Illegal Immigrants*

NewswireToday - /newswire/ - *Provo, UT, United States, 07/05/2007 -
Qualtrics survey software, a leader in the market research industry
scanned all 50 states on the subject of immigration. The results showed
68 percent of respondents favor deportation as an answer to illegal
immigration --- with family*.

Thirty-five percent of Americans feel that first priority should be
given to legal immigration applicants who have U.S. resident family
members --- according to a nationwide Qualtrics survey.

Qualtrics survey software, a leader in the market research industry
scanned all 50 states on the subject of immigration. The results showed
68 percent of respondents favor deportation as an answer to illegal
immigration --- with family, then employability being the priority
criteria for their legal counterparts.

The survey showed 28 percent of respondents feel employability should be
given the most weight in a potential immigrant's application for
residency, with 26 percent favoring a first-come-first- served policy.
Most respondents --- 35 percent --- felt family relationships should
determine priority status.

"Immigration is a hot, but sensitive topic of debate among the political
community right now," says Ryan Smith, Qualtrics Director. "We know what
our leaders and candidates think, but we hoped an anonymous survey to a
large panel would help discover the average American's opinion on the
issue."

While deportation was the most popular solution offered for illegal
immigration, 20 percent of respondents say immigrants should be given
legal status and a chance at citizenship. Ten percent are happy with the
current system, and the remaining two percent want to see illegal
immigrants in jail.

When asked about funding for national border security, 68 percent want
to see an increase, and 27 percent are happy with the status quo.
Considering legal immigration to the United States, most Americans feel
it should be more difficult --- with precedence going to those with U.S.
family-members.

"It's interesting to see a strong, American value like family
relationships come through in an analysis of survey data on a topic like
this," Smith says. "It's satisfying --- in a strange, statistical kind
of way."
