Despite anti-immigrant groups repeated attempts to sway public opinion by scapegoating immigrants for the recession, new polling data suggests that the majority of likely voters actually support an overhaul of our broken immigration system--an overhaul that includes a path to citizenship for the roughly 12 million undocumented immigrants living in America.

A recent survey by Benson Strategy Group--a group who conducts polling for President Obama and Fortune 100 Companies--found that 71% of likely voters think undocumented immigrants should take steps to become legal taxpayers. Similarly, Celinda Lake of Lake Research Partners said recent polling data suggests that voters want undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and on the books:

Nope.. Just that Pro-Illegals should find more credible polls to post other than ones from those with a vested interest in bringing illegal alien criminals into this country and allowing them to "cut in line"

How many times are you pro-illegals going to post the same poll results from this pro-amnesty group? Who did they poll . . . . illegal aliens?

I have seen countless times of pro-illegals discrediting the furnishers of any poll or statistic showing results that illegal immigration has negative impact, and then turn around and insinuate that their polls and statistics are the only ones provided by "credible" sources. It's a 2 way street.

Legal tax payers? LOL Right, they might pay SS tax but I guarantee they will just be more people milking the system for handouts that people like me will be supporting. We need to stop all these entitlement programs for people who can work.

The pro illegal apologists (and DREAMies) are attempting to use psychological warfare to break the resolve of the American people.

It is failing judging by the growing enforcement of our borders, etc.

It's actually a VERY credible source. First Pew, now Benson? What about the news organizations and studies you guys cite? Some of those ACTIVELY say they biased, yet continually it is portrayed as unbiased fact.
