2. Interesting to dive deeper in the poll responses

The survey asked voters if they would support “a new type of visa that would be available to undocumented immigrants who have been living in the US for some years and have not committed a serious crime. They would pay a penalty and any taxes they owe. After several years, they would be allowed to apply for citizenship. Those who do not apply or qualify for the visa would be subject to deportation.”


What penalty? If fines, how much? $100?, $10,000 ?

How does one determine tax liability for someone with no work authorization who has been working under the table?

Voters from both parties also showed support for policies that would make it more difficult for undocumented immigrants to find employment in the states while increasing the availability of work visas.

When asked if they would support requiring employers to verify all new hires can legally work in the U.S. through the E-Verify system, 67% of Michiganders said they would.
