USA Today/Gallup Poll Reveals Americans Want Tighter Border Security

A new USA Today/Gallup poll reveals that two-thirds of Americans want the federal government to do a better job of securing the border. Eighty-four percent of Americans worry that illegal immigration strains social services, and 77% believe that illegal aliens drive down wages.

Another 53% believed that the United States should focus on stopping illegal immigration over finding solutions to deal with the 11-18 million illegal aliens. Eighty percent believe that providing an amnesty to individuals in the country illegally will foster more illegal immigration.
