Studies: Mexicans come to U.S. due to family and better jobs, while few approve Bush’s position on immigration

In the meantime, a Gallup Poll showed only twenty-six percent of U.S. residents approved of the way President Bush is handling the issue of immigration. (Science Daily) Washington Post's Darryl Fears also comments on the matter.
