Public's Immigration Priorities Changing

Peoples' views on immigration- a sore subject for many Americans- seem to be changing. A recent Gallup poll showed that 44% of American citizens think it is more important to help illegal immigrants become legal residents of this country than to focus on border control. This is a big change from just three years ago, when most citizens seemed to want to make it more difficult for immigrants to enter the United States.
The poll was conducted by interviewing 1,023 adults by telephone, and the sampling error is suspected to be plus or minus about four percent. Even with this consideration, the poll shows a shift in American views. I think the integration of immigrants is a prime example of progressivism and the way things can change for the better for all U.S. citizens.
