**Republican Voters: Prioritize Violent Criminals, Preserve Family Unity**
**WASHINGTON D.C.**??-??Significant majorities of groups that voted for President-elect Donald Trump want his administration to focus immigration enforcement on threats to public safety rather than cast an unlimited net.
An even higher percentage of Republicans, ideological conservatives, and white evangelical Protestants want family unity and other core American values to "remain key priorities" as border security and immigration enforcement ramp up, according to a new survey from The Bullfinch Group and National Immigration Forum.
Among Republicans, 75% agreed with the statement, "In accordance with American values, family unity, respect for human dignity, and protection for the persecuted must remain key priorities as the government increases border security and immigration enforcement." Only 18% disagreed, with 7% unsure.
In addition, 60% of Republicans - and 67% of voters overall - said immigration enforcement should prioritize violent criminals and those with final orders of removal rather than "all individuals without legal status."????
"Even voting blocs that support tougher enforcement want the Trump administration to preserve American values and set enforcement priorities," said??
**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**. "We urge the new administration to work with Congress on immigration solutions that boost our security, honor human dignity and preserve family unity."??
