Friend, we just released the findings from the poll we commissioned, showing that a majority of likely voters from across the country support taking bold action on immigration.
Some of the key findings from our poll:
- 71% support making it easier for undocumented workers to pay taxes
- 64% support creating a pathway to citizenship
- 63% support protecting asylum seekers in the U.S. from deportation
- 53% support ending "Remain in Mexico" or MPP
- 52% support ending Title 42 expulsions at the U.S.-Mexico border
- 52% support strengthening protections to allow undocumented workers to exercise their labor and civil rights without fear of deportation
The poll findings once again affirm what we have been saying: Campaigns and candidates can win elections by supporting a more inclusive, pro-immigrant vision for our country.
Despite some meaningful progress, the Biden administration’s overly cautious approach to immigration is a political miscalculation. Our poll proves that delivering on a pro-immigrant vision would not only be good policy — but also good politics.
Pro-immigrant voters are a permanent and powerful political constituency in this country, who will be watching closely to see if President Biden follows through on his campaign promises. It is crucial that Democrats listen to voters and deliver for our communities.
Thank you,
