Support for an enforcement first policy on immigration tops the 60% mark in all but one of 33 states polled by Rasmussen Reports over the past month (see State-by-State Immigration Data). Massachusetts is the sole exception, but even in Ted Kennedy's state a solid majority (58%) say that the U.S. should enforce existing laws and control the border before considering new reforms (The Bay State also boasts the lowest percentage of voters who believe that tax cuts help the economy). Wyoming, at 78%, boasts the highest percentage favoring an enforcement first policy. Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Arizona voters say they are following the immigration debate "very closely." That's the highest level of interest in the nation. In 8 of the 33 states, a plurality of voters want to "forcibly require" all illegal immigrants to leave the country (see State-by-State Immigration Data). Rasmussen Reports is an electronic publishing firm specializing in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information.
