A new poll shows that support for an immigration reform plan that includes a pathway to citizenship for those in the country illegally has plummeted within the past decade among white evangelicals, who are the only religious demographic to oppose a proposal that has been backed by Republican and Democratic presidents,the Christian Headlines website reports today (February 7, 2022).
The Public Religion Research Institute poll found that 62 percent of Americans believe there should be a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally.
Less than half of white evangelicals -- 47%-- support a pathway to citizenship, a nearly double-digit plunge from the 56% who backed it in 2013. Among white evangelicals who attend church weekly, support is even lower --45% -- and has fallen 13 points from 2013 (58%).
