1* A comprehensive immigration reform plan has been proposed
that would secure the border and prevent future illegal immigration. As part of
the plan, those who entered the country illegally but have
otherwise obeyed the law would be given legal status to stay
in the United States. If you knew that the
border would really be secured to prevent future illegal immigration, would you
favor or oppose this plan?
2* Should those who are now in this country illegally be
granted legal status right away or should that come only after the border is
secured?
3* If a law was passed to secure the border, prevent future
illegal immigration and allow those who entered the country illegally to stay,
how likely is it that the federal government would actually secure the border
and prevent illegal immigration?
4* Who should determine
whether the border is secure—the federal Department of Homeland Security,
Congress, political leaders in border states or voters in border states through
a referendum?
5* Regardless of what you want to happen, how likely is it
that comprehensive immigration reform legislation will pass the Senate and the
House and be signed by the president this year?
