Americans Open to Softer Immigration Policy

A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds Americans “appear open to a softer immigration policy than Republican presidential candidates have preached in the past. Even a majority of Republicans in the country can see themselves voting for someone who would protect millions of immigrants from deportation.”

“The poll was conducted before Democrat Hillary Clinton’s effort this week to magnify the difference between letting people who are in the country illegally have legal status, which some Republicans support, and letting them gain citizenship, which she supports. The poll suggests that people don’t see much difference.”
