But 65 percent of poll respondents said they would be willing to support:
a compromise including a “very long path to citizenship” provided that “the proposal required the aliens to pay fines and learn English” and that the compromise “would truly reduce the number of illegal aliens entering the country.” The proposal, specifically described as a compromise, was said to include “strict employer penalties for hiring illegal aliens, building a barrier along the Mexican border and other steps to significantly reduce the number of illegal aliens entering the United States.”
Well, all those features are included in the bill now pending, the one that's stirred such a ruckus, the one that only 26 percent of Americans support. It seems that most people don't what that bill is really about.
