Poll Numbers from Iowa Re: Immigration Views

[Renew Deal]

Do you think Immigration isn't important in Iowa? Look at this: http://news-releases.uiowa.edu/2007/october/102907poll-topline.pdf

34.5% of Democrats consider immigration "Very Important" or "Most Important". They don't consider it important because they support it. This is bad news for anyone that supports drivers licenses for illegal immigrants.

Note: The PDF is more readable.

Immigration Views

How important is a candidateís position on undocumented immigration to your vote for president in 2008?

D R

MOST IMPORTANT 2.4 13.7
VERY IMPORTANT 32.1 52.5
SOMEWHAT IMPORTANT 50.8 29.2
NOT IMPORTANT 14.7 4.6

Which comes closest to your view about what government policy should be regarding undocumented immigrants
currently residing in the United States. Should the government:

D R

DEPORT ALL UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS 14.7 29.7
ALLOW UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS TO 16.5 12.0
REMAIN IN THE US AS GUEST WORKERS
FOR A LIMITED TIME
ALLOW UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS TO 66.9 51.7
BECOME CITIZENS IF THEY MEET CRITERIA
LIKE LEARNING ENGLISH AND PAYING THEIR
BACK TAXES
ALLOW UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS TO 6.5 2.2
BECOME PERMANENT RESIDENTS WITH
NO REQUIREMENTS

Which ONE of the following is MOST responsible for the immigration situation we have today?

D R

THE UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS 14.5 19.5
WHO COME ACROSS OUR BORDERS
EMPLOYERS WHO HIRE UNDOCUMENTED 57.3 49.2
IMMIGRANTS
IMMIGRATION POLICIES ESTABLISHED 28.5 31.3
BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

1. Just for the record... the president doesn't control drivers licenses

State governments do.

2. You are correct.

But that's going to get lost.
