Those in favor of various forms of enforcement:
11% + 47% + 16% + 3% = 77% (eg. ~= 80%)

'Offer a program for willing workers and employers' = 23%

Once again, the approx. 80% of Americans polled say they want
enforcement, not accommodation of illegal aliens.


*Note also, this poll takes the form of offering no explicit
option for those that prefer the 'middle ground' between
deportation and accommodation; that is, 'attrition through
enforcement'.

I'm the 3% - who wants it all done

I don't care much for this poll because eventually some illegal alien advocate will utilize it in a skewed manner. For example, they'll use the 11% number on border security to say the majority of Americans don't support a fence along the border or they'll say that only 16% of Americans favor getting tough on employers. I prefer polls that only offer two choices on the subject (black and white).

I hate polls that wont let you answer more than 1. #'s 1, 2 & 3 should be carried out immediately. Then we can DISCUSS question #4.

For me, border security is a very close second, but I voted for "Something else", because I think ending birthright citizenship, is the most crucial single step.
