Arizona's "likely voters" strongly disagree with the decision by leaders of the U.S. House to include a provision in a budget reconciliation bill "that would offer 10 years of work permits and legal status to approximately 8 million illegal immigrants" without any enforcement to curb future illegal immigration, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey.
The two U.S. Senators for this political battleground state are pivotal in whether the amnesty passes as part of the nearly $2-trillion reconciliation bill. Most of their constituents say the amnesty would worsen the border crisis. The state's Hispanics, political independents, and suburbanites polled closely with the electorate as a whole in concerns about the border and amnesty.
Will Arizona's two U.S. Senators -- Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly -- defy those overlapping demographic groups of Hispanics, independents and suburbanites whose shifting allegiances are likely to decide who controls Congress in next year's midterm elections?" -- Roy Beck, President of the NumbersUSA Education & Research Foundation which cosponsored the survey.
The survey of 924 Arizona "likely voters" on Tuesday, Nov. 16, found that the legalization in the House reconciliation bill exacerbates Arizonans' concerns about the border with Mexico. Three-quarters (77%) of voters are either very concerned (59%) or somewhat concerned (18%) about the monthly level of crossings at the Mexican border.
