This document summarizes the results of a survey of 687 likely 2014 general election voters in California's 22nd Congressional District. It finds that voters have a more unfavorable view of Democrats in Congress than Republicans, but a bipartisan immigration reform plan that increases security and creates a path to citizenship could improve views of both parties. A majority support such a plan and think the House Speaker should allow a vote on it rather than wait for Republican support. Support is higher among Democrats, independents, and Hispanic voters.

9. Voter Opinion on
Immigration
Reform

10. Thinking now about immigration reform…As you may know, the House of Representatives is
beginning to consider different immigration reform proposals. One option is legislation that
would significantly increase border security, block employers from hiring undocumented
immigrants, and make sure that undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. with no
criminal record register for legal status. If immigrants were to meet a list of
requirements, they could eventually apply for citizenship. Knowing this information, would
you support or oppose this legislation?

23. Voter Opinion on
Speaker Boehner
Allowing a Vote
on Immigration
Reform

24. As you may know, a majority of members in the U.S. House of Representatives have stated they
support an immigration reform plan that ensures undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S.
pay a penalty, learn English, pass a criminal background check, pay taxes, and wait a minimum of
thirteen years before they can be eligible for citizenship.
However, the Speaker of the House, Republican John Boehner has said he will not allow the House to
vote on the bill unless a majority of Republican members support it. Do you think Speaker Boehner
should let the members of Congress have a yes or no vote on the immigration reform plan or should
he put the vote on hold until a majority of Republican members agree to support the plan?
