Immigration Amnesty Not Popular

Reuters did a poll recently and discovered that allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. is unpopular with a majority of Americans. Yahoo News has the article which summarizes the findings:
Thirty percent of those polled think that most illegal immigrants, with some exceptions, should be deported, while 23 percent believe all illegal immigrants should be deported.

Only 5 percent believe all illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the United States legally, and 31 percent want most illegal immigrants to stay. 
 Those are some tough numbers for politicians to chew on, as they try to write legislation to "solve" the problem.
