Support for Arizona law

On immigration, 61 percent of Coloradans said the state should

pass a law similar to the one recently enacted in Arizona.
The law, in part, requires police to question people if there's reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally and targets those who hire illegal-immigrant laborers.

Former state Sen. Polly Baca of Denver questioned the finding that 62 percent of Latinos supported such a law.

"I think in some of the older families you might get something like that, but I suspect that the new families, the ones coming in the last five to 10 years, they might have a different perspective," she said. "And many of these newcomers probably don't have a traditional phone and weren't polled."

Jay Leve of SurveyUSA said the poll is "as good of a representation of registered voters that you are going to find," adding that registered voters typically have land lines rather than just cellphones.

"It may be striking that the Hispanics we talked to favor such a law, but that is the case," he said.
