In California, a majority of Democratic and Republican voters have found something to agree on: Immigrants make the United States a better place to live.
The state has long been at odds with the Trump administration over immigration issues, as the president continues to push for a new wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and cracks down on asylum seekers.and protections for immigrants who enter the country illegally, passing laws signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom allowing immigrants to serve on government boards and commissions and banning arrests for immigration violations in courthouses across the state.
“When I started teaching there, it was the time of Prop 187. That was those boomers voting,” he said, referring to the controversial 1994 ballot measure denying public services, such as public education and healthcare, to people in the country illegally. “We just had a class where we’re reading the argument that the Republican politicians made about Prop 187 and the young students were shocked, across the spectrum of race and class.
DeSipio was also surprised by the response from California voters who identified as having no party preference -- 83% of voters in that group said immigrants make the U.S. a better place. Most voters don’t feel that they or a family member will miss out on a job or other opportunities because of immigrants, according to the poll.
Actual, LEGAL immigrants, who've come here LEGALLY to become U.S. citizens do. Stop marginalizing and blurring the issue that TRUE immigration actually exists and functions. We are a nation of CITIZENS.

There is no way that You can actually know that everyone supports it, but: You’re objectifying People’s Value in a by trying to equate their worth to society by mere Economic benefit. The average immigrant is no worse than the average American, but: That’s not a high standard.

We don't have any problems with LEGAL immigrants. They followed the law to get here, and also work hard and have enough RESPECT for our country and its citizens by following and going through the American system.
Ya, not a point of contention. Ensuring the flow of immigration is controlled and done so through legal avenues is all the vast majority of Americans are asking for.
