Large majority of Americans want undocumented immigrants in US to be granted legal status: poll
By Justin Wise - 08/12/19 08:02 PM EDT
A large majority of Americans says that there should be a way for undocumented immigrants to remain in the U.S. legally as long as they meet certain requirements, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center.
The poll, which was released on Monday, found that 72 percent of Americans support granting legal status to immigrants who crossed into the U.S. illegally if they meet certain criteria. The figure represents a slight decline from a Pew survey conducted in March 2017, in which 77 percent of Americans said they were supportive of the idea.
Just 27 percent of overall respondents expressed opposition to finding a way for undocumented immigrants to have a path to legal status.

The Pew Research Center polls are reliable.
"A large majority of Americans says that there should be a way for undocumented immigrants to remain in the U.S. legally as long as they meet certain requirements, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center."
The operative phrase here is, as long as they meet certain requirements...
This means no open border with just anyone running across the border and he/she is here forever. It does mean an orderly method of immigrants coming into the country who meet our requirements.
Now, what are the requirements?? This is in a state of flux with a new rule directed at establishing new requirements going into effect soon, within about 30 days from now.
