Most Americans still oppose granting U.S. citizenship automatically to children born in America to illegal immigrants.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of U.S. Adults finds that 58% oppose automatic citizenship for a child born in this country to an illegal immigrant. That number has not changed since early June. A third of adults (34%) believe those children should become U.S. citizens.
Sentiments are basically unchanged from four years ago when the Senate was considering the immigration issue. The Senate was eventually forced to drop its plans and surrender to public opinion on the topic.
But 64% now believe illegal immigrants' children who serve two years in the U.S. military should be granted citizenship. One-in-four adults (25%) say those children should not be granted citizenship.
These numbers show slightly stronger support than results found in October 2007.
Voters have said consistently for years that when it comes to immigration reform, gaining control of the border is more important than legalizing the status of undocumented workers already living in the United States.
The survey of 1,000 Adults was conducted on August 10-11, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
In Arizona, where legislators recently passed a strict immigration enforcement law and are considering a law refusing to give birth certificates to children born to illegal immigrants in the state, 64% agree that those children should not automatically become U.S. citizens.
