Poll: Americans back immigration reform

While Democrats and Republicans continue to hammer out a bipartisan deal over immigration, a poll released by CNN shows that most Americans are in favor of comprehensive immigration reform.

According to the poll by Opinion Research Corporation, 80% of those surveyed would back residency and citizenship for illegal immigrants if they were employed and paid back taxes. The poll also showed a slim majority were opposed to constructing a 700 mile barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border, while half of those polled approve of making a temporary guest worker program.

Every living creature has the natural instinct to protect himself from harm. The man is no more different, it is in ourself to avoid getting injured. However, sometimes accidents happen, and sometimes there is blood.
