Americans Back Immigration Reform
Filed Under Immigration News, Z Visa
A poll released by the Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg News shows that a majority of Americans are in favor of comprehensive immigration reform and support action to allow illegal immigrants to become legal US citizens.
Of those polled, only 23 per cent were opposed to immigrants becoming legal citizens after paying the appropriate fines, learning to speak English as well as other requirements outlined under the StriveAct, or ‘Z’ Visa.
Despite the many requirements that would need to be fulfilled before citizenship is granted, many Republicans accuse the bill of being ‘Amnesty’.
The poll also shows that President George Bush’s approval rating has fallen from 45 per cent last September (06) to 34 per cent, and his approval rating amongst Republicans has fallen from 83 per cent last year (06) to 70 per cent.
