By Rasmussen Reports
1* Suppose a woman
enters the United States as an illegal immigrant and gives birth to a child in
the United States. Should that child automatically become a citizen of the
United States?
2* Should illegal immigrants who have American-born children be exempt from deportation?
3* The majority of immigrant visas awarded in the
United States are based on a family relationship. A proposal has been made to
award visas instead on the level of skills a potential immigrant brings to this
country. Do you favor moving to a merit-based system for legal immigration or
prefer to keep the existing family-based system?
