“Last week, Sergio Bendixen, a respected professional pollster, briefed me on the survey his firm had just completed of 800 legal immigrants, from 43 different countries, living in 47 states ”” a cross section carefully designed to mirror the makeup of the 26 million legal immigrants the Census counts. To assure accuracy, Bendixen arranged to interview subjects in their native languages, whenever they requested.

When he probed these legal immigrants for their attitude toward the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, Bendixen asked two key questions. By a margin of 81 percent to 11 percent, the legal immigrants said they think the undocumented are taking jobs that legal residents and citizens do not want to do, rather than taking jobs away from them.”
