LAS VEGAS – Nevadans and voters in five other Western states support efforts to curb illegal Mexico-U.S. immigration, but also say they prefer that illegal immigrants already in the country have a chance to apply for legal status rather than be deported, a new regional poll said.
In Nevada, 76 percent of those polled said they support efforts including completing a border fence and penalizing employers who hire illegal immigrants, the newspaper poll said. Regionally, 71 percent of voters said they supported such efforts.
Regionally, 53 percent favored the legal status approach, compared with 38 percent who favored deportation. In Nevada, 48 percent said illegal immigrants should have a shot at legalization, while 42 percent said they should be deported.
Nevada Assemblyman Ty Cobb, R-Reno, called the question unfair because it lumped together all immigrants from the region, instead of singling out illegal immigrants.
Not a very unbiased poll if they refuse to break apart legal immigrant from illegal alien.
Also-out of those 400 people how many were in fact illegal aliens?

Where does it lump together all immigrants? They're clearly only talking about illegals.
Pollsters also asked whether respondents felt that immigrants from Mexico and other Latin America countries had a positive or negative effect on life in the Western U.S. Results were mixed regionally. In Nevada, 31 percent chose “positive,” and 47 percent said “negative.”
Sorry that I was not more clear in my initial post.
The telephone poll of 400 likely voters each in the states of Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming aimed to gauge Westerners' feelings about issues including immigration, climate change and gun control.
I hardly consider a poll of 400 people to be a credible representation of the millions of citizens residing in those states. Furthermore, how many of those polled have a vested interest in illegal immigration. I would be interested in knowing if any of the 400 employ illegals, have illegal alien family members, or are themselves illegal.
