1 Fall 2013 Immigration Survey Summary Presentation David Flaherty, CEO Magellan Strategies

2 The following presentation is a summary of findings from seventeen Congressional Districts of likely 2014 voters. The primary focus of the research was to measure voter support and opposition to different immigration reform legislation proposals. Each survey interviewed between 650 and 700 voters, and has a margin of error of approximately +/- 3.7% at the 95% confidence interval. The surveys were conducted using automated voice recorded technology, and some included live cell phone interviews. The surveys were fielded in October and November of 2013.

4 Voter Support for “Broad” Immigration Reform Legislation Option

5 Key Finding There is deep, broad support among all “major” voter subgroups in each Congressional district for immigration reform legislation that contains the following criteria.  Significantly increase border security,  Block employers form hiring undocumented immigrants,  Make sure undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. with no criminal record register for legal status, with the possibility of eventual citizenship.

6 “As you may know, the House of Representatives is beginning to consider different immigration reform proposals. One option is legislation that would significantly increase border security, block employers from hiring undocumented immigrants, and make sure that undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. with no criminal record register for legal status. If immigrants were to meet a list of requirements, they could eventually apply for citizenship.” “Knowing this information, would support or oppose this legislation?” Magellan Strategies Immigration Reform Survey Summary December 11, 2013 6
