A new Field Poll out Friday reports overwhelming support for allowing long-term undocumented immigrants to stay in the US legally. The survey of registered voters found 90 percent support for a pathway to citizenship -- if immigrants have been here for a number of years, if they learn English, and if they pay back-taxes. Poll director Mark DiCamillo says the high level of support across all political, racial and ethnic groups reflects a change in the debate since President Barack Obama's re-election.
