A new survey looks at how voters in Arizona and five other swing states feel about hot-button border and immigration issues being discussed on the campaign trail.
The survey comes from the Program for Public Consultation at the University of Maryland. Researchers spoke with voters in Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona and asked about various border and immigration policy proposals — things like paths to citizenship, work visas and border security measures.
Most Arizona respondents favored a path to citizenship for the some 11 million undocumented people in the U.S. over the mass deportations.
Most also wanted to see border security measures like additional border wall, Border Patrol agents and asylum officers. And as for immigrant workers, Arizonans said they wanted to see more work visas in exchange for additional restrictions on employers to discourage under-the-table labor.
This state’s data mirrored that of the other five swings.
