Immigration is not black and white - The majority of voters - the quiet 60 percent in the middle - are ambivalent and uncertain

You’ve heard it all a dozen times. That the public is virulently anti-immigrant. That political leaders – including President Bush and the senators from both parties who voted last summer to overhaul the immigration system – are hopelessly out of touch with this angry tide. That millions of people across the country are going to vote on the basis of their fury.

And that the only immigration reform Americans will accept, this year and perhaps for years to come, is “reform” along the lines advocated by Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado and CNN’s Lou Dobbs: harsh, anti-immigrant policies designed to drive millions of foreigners out of the United States.

The only problem: It isn’t so. The situation isn’t nearly so black and white.”*
