Yet Another Poll on Immigration Shows Juventud is Ok With It

08:52 H | Topics: Immigration

I don't understand why people who dislike Latino immigrants so much read us and link to us (I certainly can't be bothered to visit any of their blogs/websites). But one of our readers sent us a link to a recent PollingPoint poll on immigration. While the demographics of who took the poll remain unclear (which always raises flags to me), according to the poll the younger you are, the more likely you are to think that immigration is not a big problem. Latinos are more likely to think that immigration has favorable effects on the economy than whites or blacks and a strong majority don't want children of undocumented people in public schools.

According to respondents, 24 percent do support allowing children of illegal immigrants to attend schools, but a majority, 61 percent are opposed to it.

On this question women are also more supportive than men of allowing children of illegal immigrants to attend school.
