Hispanics, Whites, Blacks Not in Complete Agreement on Illegal Immigration

“Gallup’s annual poll on Minority Rights and Relations finds that non-Hispanic whites, blacks, and Hispanics share many views about illegal immigrants and what should be done about them, but they diverge on certain issues. All three groups believe illegal immigrants take low-paying jobs Americans don’t want and say the government should allow illegal immigrants currently in the United States a path to citizenship. However, Hispanics believe illegal immigrants eventually become productive citizens who pay their fair share of taxes, while whites and blacks think illegal immigrants cost the taxpayers too much with their use of government services. Hispanics are also much more likely than whites or blacks to express concern that legislation Congress is considering will go too far in increasing security along the United States’ border with Mexico.”
