Roll Call

Support
for a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants remains
strong, but the number of Americans who believe immigrants are a drain
on the country is on the
rise, according to a new Pew Research Center report.
The
center reports 72 percent of Americans said in a poll conducted in May
that undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S. should be
allowed to stay in the country
legally, if certain requirements are met. That result has fluctuated
only slightly in recent years, according to Pew.
But
the survey of 2,002 adults also found the number of respondents who see
immigrants as a strain on housing, health care and the jobs market has
increased 6 points,
from 35 percent to 41 percent, over the past two years.
The
survey found President Barack Obama with some of his lowest issue
approval ratings for his handling of immigration. Only 37 percent
approved of the president’s immigration
moves, while 56 percent disapproved.
The poll had a 2.5-point margin of error.
