A national I&I/TIPP Poll asked registered voter their views on steps to deal with illegal immigration.

1. Build a wall, and rigidly enforce all other existing border laws;
2. Build a wall, rigidly enforce all other existing border laws, and deport those who have come here illegally, especially those with criminal records;
3. Tighten the border somewhat, but remember that “America is a nation of immigrants” and we can’t deport all of those who are here illegally;
