Chapter 6

Public Opinion and Political Action

What are the public's opinions and ideas on immigration?

This article combines many sources to offer proof that most Americans favor allowing illegal immigrants to keep their jobs and become legal over deporting them... http://www.immigrationforum.org/documents/PressRoom/PublicOpinion/2007/PollingSummary0407.pdf

One thing is for sure... Americans want the illegal immigration issue solved soon... as immigration and mental health become top priorities for the upcoming Senate session. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/10/AR2008011003503.html?referrer=emailarticle

What are the prominent immigration interest groups?

Two of the most prominent immigration groups are Carecen International, an interested group based on helping immigration (www.freewebs.com/careceninternational/index.html) and the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an anti-immigration interest group, (fairus.org)
