59% of Americans believe that, if an undocumented worker has lived and worked in the United States for two years, he/she should be given a chance for legal citizenship rather than be deported.
While this seems like a basic issue of human compassion and smart economics, the number is far higher than I would've guessed. Maybe underneath all that conservative mouth-frothing, Lou Dobbs's Nightly Nativism, and growing economic inequality, Americans have retained a little faith in the American dream.
