Are illegal immigrants taking jobs away from other Californians?
In 1982 a 52% majority of voters held the opinion that illegal immigrants were taking jobs away from Californians, while 38% believed that they were generally doing jobs that others didn’t want. However, in four statewide Field Poll surveys conducted since then majorities maintain that illegal immigrants are doing jobs that other Californians mostly do not want. In the current survey 58% say this, while 34% think they are taking jobs away from other Californians. var addthis_pub = ‘yubanet’; In the interest of fostering civil and issue-oriented discourse, YubaNet does not publish reader comments identified by anonymous Internet “handles” (fake user ID names like “farfromthinkin”).
