A poll, released just two days after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced changes to its deportation proceedings, indicates that a majority of likely voters still favor border security.

According to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll, “even as the Obama administration moves to slow the pace of deportation for illegal immigrants, voters continue to believe strongly that gaining control of the border is more important than legalizing the status of undocumented workers already living in the United States.â€
