Iowans' views on immigration

Des Moines Register
August 15, 2009

According to a 2008 Iowa Poll, as much as 40 percent of the state's population believes all illegal immigrants should be sent home.

Fifty-four percent of Iowans support finding ways to let illegal immigrants stay if they have roots and jobs.

President Barack Obama has pledged to take on immigration reform next year.

But Obama also has been widely criticized for his silence on the growing number of non-criminal arrests happening under the National Fugitive Operations Program.
