author Published by Chris Chmielenski

A Rasmussen Poll conducted in mid-March reveals that the majority of Americans do favor stricter enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws. This comes after news that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will review the current worksite enforcement program.

The poll shows that 67% of Americans would favor local police conducting surprise raids where immigrants congregate daily to find work. Only 24% disagree with the practice.

Results also reveal that 68% of Americans favor stricter sanctions against companies that hire undocumented workers. Only 22% oppose stricter sanctions.

73% of voters think police should automatically check a person’s immigration status during traffic violations.
