Among all registered voters, 81 percent said they approve of the provision requiring people to produce documents verifying legal status. Ninety-two percent of Republicans, 79 percent of independents and 68 percent of Democrats supported the provision.

Voters also strongly supported the provision allowing police to detain anyone unable to verify their legal status, with 74 percent of respondents in favor of it. Ninety-three percent of Republicans and 73 percent of independents were in favor versus 50 percent of Democrats.

"I've been doing research for 30 years, and it's really hard to get any group to have more than 90 percent agreement on any issue," Daugherty said. "The size of the majority supporting is a little eye-popping."

Sixty-eight percent of voters surveyed favored the provision that would allow police to question anyone they think may be in the country illegally when stopped as a suspect or arrested for a crime. Eighty-seven percent of Republicans and 67 percent of independents were in favor versus 48 percent of Democrats.

See the pattern?

Understand why I posted this now?

And then the Dems are merely split on detaining people with unverified legal statuses? What is this? Are most AZ Dems Blue Dogs or what? I guess that the War on Drugs, proximity to the border, and fear of crime may influence Arizonans' opinions about illegal immigration regardless of party status.

family in Az.

brown people were murdering their children and the police would protect them from said brown people?"

when the civil rights act passed, vast majorities in southern states were against it. We had to school them how to be good Americans, becasue they had forgotten the lesson of the civil war.
Now we have to do it again.

that are with the majority in these polls? Do they need to be schooled too?

difficult as it may be

You're more qualified to determine what's in their own best interest than they are.

Off to the re-education camps with them.
