Title: America's immigration quandary
Description: Results of a sample survey of Americans within the continental United States, and of sample surveys from five Metropolitan Statistical Areas (Chicago, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Raleigh-Durham, Washington, DC) on immigration, legal and illegal immigrants, and current government policy on these issues. Sections of the report cover: how immigration ranks as a problem nationally and locally; distinctions the public makes between legal and illegal immigration; immigration's impact on American culture and economy; what the public thinks of the current government policy about immigration; perceptions about immigrants, particularly about those from Asia and Latin America; how immigrants assimilate into American culture; and summarized results from each of the five metropolitan areas.  It  includes many comparison of people based on race, ethnicity, nativity status, and the characteristics of the area in which they live. The survey's questionnaire and results for the nation and the five metropolitan areas are included as well.
