Immigration

What do Floridians think about immigration?

Residents have negative feelings about undocumented immigrants, but a strong majority favors policy that would allow such immigrants a path to U.S. citizenship. Although many Floridians see undocumented immigrants as threats, they still had sympathetic views toward those trying to establish themselves as U.S. residents. This is the second of four surveys PIE Center officials hope to conduct every year to track public sentiment over time.
