Poll: Latino Community Remarkably Unified on Immigration

Despite all of the recent and current major public policy distractions, the Latino community finds itself remarkably unified in support of immigration reform with a path to citizenship, and unified in opposition to Arizona’s SB1070. These are the main findings of a poll co-sponsored by the Hispanic Federation and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and conducted by LatinoMetrics.

Bicultural Latinos show similar positions on the key issues as low-acculturated Latinos. Even a majority of those with “high” acculturation, who are mostly U.S. born and are more likely to be fully integrated into U.S. society, stand with the community in favor of reform and against Arizona’s SB 1070.  Nearly a third of those polled believe that racism is at the cnetre of the immigration debate.  For more on the poll, click here for a Los Angeles Times story.
