Poll: Census data belie public beliefs on immigration

A new survey indicates that many Arizonans overestimate how many Hispanics, who represent one of every four state residents, are undocumented immigrants and underestimate how many are U.S. citizens.

Maricopa County adults surveyed by the Behavior Research Center estimated that 39 percent of Arizona Hispanics are undocumented immigrants. But the 2000 U.S. census found 24 percent of Arizona Hispanics to be non-citizens, a grouping that also includes foreign nationals who are legally in the United States.
