This certainly is the best solution; Do something to make the borders more secure to stop the illegal entries and allow the ones already here to get legal status if they can qualify.
Voters Also Want More Border Security
10news.com: SAN FRANCISCO -- A Field Poll released Tuesday says more than 80 percent of California registered voters support legalizing the status of illegal immigrants already in the country, but also want tougher measures to reduce the flow of immigrants into the United States.
Taken in late March, the survey questioned voters on many of the proposals that were part of the immigration overhaul plan described this week by President Bush.
The poll shows about 83 percent favor programs that would create a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who have been living in the United States for several years. Voters said they want immigrants to be employed, learn English and pay any back taxes.
Two-thirds want the government to create temporary worker programs so immigrants can enter the country to work legally. About the same percentage -- 63 percent -- favor stiffer penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants.
Voters also want more federal agents posted along the U.S.-Mexico border.
