I believe that as more people support a comprehensive immigration reform more Congressmen will too.

This is an interesting poll question I found at pollingreport.com

"Would you support or oppose a program giving illegal immigrants now living in the United States the right to live here legally if they pay a fine and meet other requirements?"

S-Support
O-Oppose
U-Unsure

4/21-24/09 S:61 O:35 U:3

12/16-19/07 S:49 O:46 U:5

9/27-30/07 S:58 O:35 U:7

There are two interesting things to point out when looking at the numbers: the decrease in support from end of September to Mid-December, and the increase in support in 2009.

Perhaps the decrease in support is because reform failed in the year 2007 and people realized that reform wouldn't be possible and instead believed opposing any type of reform was better for the country. Regardless of the reason, I found this to be interesting.
