More than 60 percent of Americans back a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living here illegally — winning support from majorities of Democrats, Republicans and independents, according to a sweeping new poll to be released Tuesday.
When it comes to undocumented immigrants, 62 percent of Americans believe they should be allowed to gain citizenship if they meet certain requirements, while 17 percent would support green cards but not citizenship for them. Meanwhile, 19 percent think the undocumented immigrants should be deported.
Split down by party, 70 percent of Democrats, 61 percent of political independents and 51 percent of Republicans said they supported a pathway to citizenship with requirements, according to the survey. The poll did not define what those specific conditions are, but requirements can include background checks and payments of fines and back taxes.
The data — from the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute and the center-left Brookings Institution — demonstrates a level of support for immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship that cuts across party lines. But how to deal with the undocumented population in the United States, now estimated at 11.4 million, is a question that has long divided House Republicans.

A sweeeeeeeping new poll..
Uhhhh.. Did they survey any actual citizens?
Another fake poll so the sheeple can fall in line! I haven't met a SINGLE person who espouses this crap!
I’m for citizenship as well. All they have to do is go to this website and follow the instructions;

It already exists in current law. But expecting this Cloward-Pivenite to administer current law is but a pipe dream.
This is a bald faced lie. I do not believe it.
As far as I have been told there is already a way. Why not just follow what is on the books?

We might as well hang out a sign and say come on in....get it while the gettin's free.
Obama’s “Children’s Crusade” at the Broder...
The word “Crusade” is seen with disdain in this PC world, and the term “Children’s Crusade” is cursed as a horrible term in Hiostory Academia...
What is the “Manufactured Crisis” except for another “Children’s Crusade”....
Barry O’Bama’s “Children’s Crusade”....

[ The Children’s Crusade is the name given to a disastrous Crusade by European Christians to expel Muslims from the Holy Land said to have taken place in 1212. The traditional narrative is probably conflated from some factual and mythical notions of the period including visions by a French or German boy, an intention to peacefully convert Muslims in the Holy Land to Christianity, bands of children marching to Italy, and children being sold into slavery. ]
Children on their way to the border have been sold into sex slavery....
Obama is literally creating a “Children’s Crusade” at our southern border....
Why not just follow what is on the books?
Maybe it’s in cursive. or Spanish.
I suspect that the “support” they claim is so broad because they threw a lot of conditions in. The truth is that the Rats will push through amnesty with practically no verifiable conditions and the “background check” will be set up so that the FBI will have practically no time to review them and the illegal aliens will be granted amnesty with no check at all.
Of course it is a lie intended to persuade those opposed to amnesty to believe that they are in the minority. Enforce the immigration laws we have first and then in 5 years we’ll see what needs to be done.
The 38% opposed are those Republicans who know that amnesty (and that’s just what it is)would lead to the Republican Party’s total inability to win a national election, and inability to win many state-wide and local elections as well.

Whouldn’t be biased now? Have to fill those pews.
And the Brookings Institution

“In fact, I’ll bet that within the next hundred years (I’m giving the world time for setbacks and myself time to be out of the betting game, just in case I lose this one), nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority.”

This “poll” is nothing more than a marketing campaign.
