Immigration Enforcement, not Amnesty, a Priority for Iowans, Finds New Poll by Zogby International

Support for enforcement of U.S. immigration laws is an issue that unites Iowans of all political persuasions, finds a new poll conducted by the Zogby International group. The poll, commissioned by the FAIR Congressional Task Force, was conducted between Nov. 29 and Dec. 1 of likely Democratic and Republican caucus participants.

The poll finds 84 percent of Iowa Republicans and 60 percent of Democrats support “tighten[ing] border security, while increasing enforcement actions against employers who hire illegal immigrants in an effort to convince illegal immigrants to return home.” By contrast, only 12 percent of Republicans and 31 percent of Democrats think “we should legalize, or grant amnesty, to current illegal immigrants, while working toward improving immigration enforcement.”"*
