投票: 移民/移住 関心s rise with tide of kids

McALLEN, Texas (AP) ― For nearly two months, images of 移民,移住(する) children who have crossed the 国境 without a parent, only to 勝利,勝つd up in 固める/コンクリート 持つ/拘留するing 独房s once in 部隊d 明言する/公表するs, have tugged at heartstrings. Yet most Americans now say U.S. 法律 should be changed so they can be sent home quickly, without a 国外追放 審理,公聴会.

A new Associated 圧力(をかける)-GfK 投票 finds two-thirds of Americans now say 違法な 移民/移住 is a serious problem for the country, up 14 points since May and on par with 関心 about the 問題/発行する in May 2010, when Arizona's passage of a strict anti-移民/移住 手段 brought the 問題/発行する to 国家の prominence.

Nearly two-thirds, 62 パーセント, say 移民/移住 is an important 問題/発行する for them 本人自身で, a 人物/姿/数字 that's up 10 points since March. 大統領 Barack Obama's 是認 率ing for his 扱うing of 移民/移住 dropped in the 投票, with just 31 パーセント 認可するing of his 業績/成果 on the 問題/発行する, 負かす/撃墜する from 38 パーセント in May.

More than 57,000 unaccompanied 移民,移住(する) children have 不法に entered the country since October. Most of the children あられ/賞賛する from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, where ギャング(団) 暴力/激しさ is 普及(する). Many are 捜し出すing to 再会させる with a parent already living in the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs.

Since 最初 calling the 殺到する an "緊急の 人道的な 状況/情勢" in 早期に June, Obama has 圧力(をかける)d Central American leaders to 茎・取り除く the flow and has asked 議会 for $3.7 billion in new money to 雇う more 移民/移住 裁判官s, build more 拘留,拘置 space and 過程 children faster.

House 共和国の/共和党のs on Tuesday put 今後 a 法案 costing $659 million through the final two months of the 会計年度 that would send 国家の Guard 軍隊/機動隊s to the U.S.-Mexico 国境 and 許す 当局 to 国外追放する children more quickly.

By a 2-to-1 利ざや, Americans …に反対する the 現在の 過程 for 扱うing unaccompanied minors crossing the 国境, which 要求するs that those who are not from Mexico or Canada stay in the U.S. and receive a 審理,公聴会 before a 裁判官 before they can be 国外追放するd. Changing the 法律 to 許す all children crossing 不法に to be sent 支援する without such a 審理,公聴会 drew support from 51 パーセント of those 投票d.

Obama's 提案 for 緊急 基金ing, in comparison, was 好意d by 32 パーセント and …に反対するd by 38 パーセント.

Santiago Moncada, a 65-year-old Austin 居住(者) who is retired from a 明言する/公表する human 資源s 職業, said he had considered both 提案s and 最終的に believes the children need to be 国外追放するd.

"My heart goes out to them," said Moncada, a political 独立した・無所属 初めは from the 国境 city of Eagle Pass. "It needs to be done only because we need to send a message 説 our 国境s are の近くにd. You need to 適用する for 市民権. You need to 適用する to come to the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs. You can't just cross the 国境 不法に.

"My problem is, 'Who's going to take care of them?'" Moncada said. "There comes a time when we have to say enough is enough."

Moncada, however, does support creating a pathway to 市民権 for many of the 11 million 移民,移住(する)s who already entered the country 不法に. He said many are 与える/捧げるing and should be given a way to become 国民s.

A 大多数 of Americans still support such a path to 市民権, though that has slipped to 51 パーセント from 55 percen t in May. Strong 対立 to that 提案 grew to 25 パーセント in the new 投票 from 19 パーセント in May.

Patricia Thompson's life has intersected in myriad ways with 移民/移住 over the years. She was living in South Florida when thousands of Cubans crossed the Florida 海峡s 逃げるing 共産主義. Her son helped build part of the 国境 盗品故買者 近づく San Diego with the 国家の Guard. And as an assistant professor of nursing and a college student 助言者 for four 10年間s, she counseled many 移民,移住(する) students.

In some 事例/患者s, those students had been brought to the U.S. 不法に as children by their parents, said Thompson, 76, who recently relocated to Florence, Alabama, from Little 激しく揺する, Arkansas.

"Those kids certainly deserve an 移民/移住 chance," Thompson said, 追加するing that that 問題/発行する needs to be 解決するd before the country moves on to another. For the unaccompanied children crossing the 国境 more recently, Thompson said they should be sent 支援する.

"We've got to stop this," said Thompson, who identified herself as a 共和国の/共和党の, but said she thought 高度に of some of Democratic 知事s in Arkansas. "We can't take care of the whole world."

The 投票 設立する that most people ― 53 パーセント ― believe the U.S. does not have a moral 義務 to 申し込む/申し出 亡命 to people 逃げるing 暴力/激しさ or political 迫害. And 52 パーセント say the children entering the U.S. 不法に who say they are 逃げるing ギャング(団) 暴力/激しさ in Central America should not be 扱う/治療するd as 難民s.

Eric Svien, 57, a political 独立した・無所属 who said he leans 保守的な, 作品 on the 投資 味方する of a bank 近づく Minneapolis, Minnesota. 移民/移住 is not his biggest 関心. It 階級s somewhere behind 改革(する) of the 税金 code, which he said should be the 優先. He said the idea of a moral 義務 is a "slippery slope."

"I think we've probably been too open in that regard. I think at this point in time when your country's 資源s get 緊張するd to the point or you just can't be the 管理人 of the world and you've got to draw the line somewhere," he said. "Where that line gets drawn I hesitate to say ... That might be one 位置/汚点/見つけ出す where we have to say enough is enough."
