A poll recently conducted by the Los Angeles Times and the University of Southern California shows that Californians have an overall positive view of immigrants and immigration.  Participants of the study identified themselves as likely voters in the November elections.

48 percent of participants said that they felt immigrants represented a benefit to the state of California.  36 percent said that they strongly felt immigrants were a benefit.  In addition, only 22 percent felt strongly that immigrants were a burden to the state.

59 percent of participants said they believed that immigrants who had lived and worked in the United States for two years should be allowed to stay if they are found.  Only 19 percent said they felt strongly that immigrants who had lived and worked in the U.S. for two years should be deported if discovered.
