WASHINGTON – The media spotlight is intensely concentrated on a contentious immigration reform plan, covering every step of the debate in Congress. Yet surprising, the majority of Americans say they still feel uniformed about the broad bipartisan immigration bill and thus cannot form an opinion on the legislation affecting 12 million people in the United States.
Nearly 60 percent of Americans said they did not know enough to favor or oppose the immigration bill before the Senate, according to a new Gallup Poll. The finding suggests that despite strong opinions and emotions by some groups reported in the media, most Americans are still left confused about what the immigration bill supports and how it will affect them.
