Zogby/Associated Television News Poll Reveals: Democrats and Republicans Share Values on Immigration
Monday October 29, 3:32 pm ET


LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Democrats and Republicans agree on a surprising number of issues related to criminal aliens in the United States according to a recent Zogby International / Associated Television News online poll conducted October 23-25, 2007 of 4,702 likely voters. The poll's margin of error is +/-1.5 percentage points. Poll results show that America is of one mind when it comes to criminal aliens: If you break the law in your native country or in the U.S. you should not be a U.S. citizen, and those criminal aliens who commit a felony should be locked up here in the U.S.
