**Americans Support Reforms that Address Border, Dreamers,
Farmworkers**Â Â
**WASHINGTON, D.C. **- New polling shows that an overwhelming
majority of Republicans, Independents and Democrats want lawmakers to
work together on key immigration reforms - and want action now.
The first question: "Would you support or oppose Republicans and
Democrats working together on immigration reforms that strengthen border
security, create a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants
who came to the United States as children, and ensure a legal, reliable
workforce for America's farmers and ranchers?"
Among 1,044 registered voters, support measured in at 79% overall, and
84% among Democrats, 78% among Independents and 76% among Republicans.
Numbers were similar among all adults.
A second question addressed whether Democrats and Republicans should act
on these reforms "before the November 2022 midterm elections." On this
question, 72% of registered voters said yes, including 80% of Democrats,
71% of Independents and 65% of Republicans.
"An overwhelming majority of Americans want Democrats and Republicans to
pass actual solutions that restore a sense of order at the border,
protect immigrants brought here as children, and stabilize the farm
workforce," said
**Ali Noorani, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**.
"These are solutions that will help Americans and strengthen our nation,
and Americans are tired of waiting.
"Republicans and Democrats have an opportunity to bring the country
together as they work together to address some of our thorniest
challenges. In so doing, they can offer certainty to thousands of
immigrant workers whose futures are in limbo, and to the Americans who
depend on them."
Polling crosstabs are available for all adults
and for registered voters
.
