Most in America say immigration is a problem.
No wonder Donald Trump is doing so well in the polls – fully 92 percent of Americans said in a recent survey immigration is a problem, with 77 percent of them rating the matter as either “very serious” or “somewhat serious” in scope.
Trump, who leads the Republican presidential polls, has grabbed the attention of conservatives with his vows to clamp down on illegal immigration and have Mexico pay for a wall on America’s southern border. And as YouGov underscores in its recent survey – no wonder.
Forty-three percent of respondents said illegal immigration in their community was either a “very serious” or “somewhat serious” problem. Another 26 percent said it was a “minor problem,” the survey showed. And 47 percent said they either knew an illegal immigrant personally, or maybe knew one – that they couldn’t be positive.
Only 21 percent expressed strong opposition to allowing “immigration authorities [to] actively search … for illegal immigrants who have not committed any other crimes to deport them from the United States,” YouGov found. Seventeen percent “somewhat” opposed the idea – but 23 percent strongly supported it, and 25 percent, somewhat supported it.
Most – 55 percent – said they favored the creation of a hotline or website for people to report illegal immigrant activities, and again, most said they would take it on themselves to report a business for unlawfully employing illegals. On that score, 26 percent “definitely” would report that business or business owner; 24 percent said “probably,” YouGov found.
