70% Support Crackdown On Those Who Hire Illegal Immigrants
Friday, June 04, 2010
Seventy percent (70%) of U.S. voters favor strict government sanctions on employers who hire illegal immigrants, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Only 21% oppose such sanctions.
A year ago, 68% supported tough employer sanctions. Four years ago, when the Senate debate over immigration reform was at its height, 60% supported such sanctions.
Voters also are more strongly supportive of strict government sanctions on landlords who rent or sell property to illegal immigrants. Fifty percent (50%) now favor such sanctions, up from 48% last year and 44% in 2006.
Thirty-three percent (33%) oppose cracking down on landlords who rent or sell to illegal immigrants, and 17% more are undecided.
Right now, 56% of voters think the policies of the federal government actually encourage illegal immigration.
Still, there is a big distinction in the minds of voters between dealing with illegal immigrants and overall immigration policy. Sixty percent (60%) favor a welcoming immigration policy that excludes only national security threats, criminals and those who would come here to live off our welfare system. Twenty-six percent (26%) disagree with such a policy. These sentiments have held steady over the past four years.
Yet those who support such a policy feel even more strongly that there should be strict government sanctions against both employers and landlords who deal with illegal immigrants.
