Seven in 10 U.S. adults support arresting people who can’t prove they’re in the United States legally, a poll about Arizona’s new immigration law indicated.The law, the nation’s toughest, seeks to identify, prosecute and deport illegal immigrants and gives police broad powers to stop people on suspicion of being in the United States illegally.Seventy-one percent of poll respondents said they’d support requiring their own police to determine people’s U.S. status if there was “reasonable suspicion” the people were illegal immigrants, the poll found.An equal percentage supported arresting those people if they couldn't prove they were legally in the United States.
Almost two-thirds, or 64 percent, said they believed immigration hurt the United States, with nearly six in 10, or 58 percent, saying illegal immigrants took jobs away from American workers, the poll found.When asked about solving the status of illegal immigrants, 45 percent said undocumented workers should be required to leave their jobs and be deported, the poll found.Sixteen percent said those people should be allowed to continue working on a temporary basis and 28 percent supported letting them to stay and apply for U.S. citizenship.Respondents in the U.S. Midwest were more likely than those in other areas to express a desire to deport illegal immigrants, the poll found.

If you had the power would you deport all of the immigrants back to Mexico or let them live and work in Arizona? also do you think it would be a good idea to send Mexican immigrants to England or some of the other wealthier European country? or perhaps western Australia? Personally Mexicans work hard though or at least from my point of view since I've worked with some before in a restaurant.. they did their thing and they didnt bother anyone... had no problems working with them...... what do you guys think?
