Americans realizing that immigrants aren't so bad

I was heartened to see in today's New York Times a report based on three polls, one by CBS, another by ABC and the Washington Post, a a final one by the Los Angeles Times and Bloomberg that pretty much say the same thing: While many Americans are worried that illegal immigrants are using more in social services than they are paying into the system, most believe that those who have been here for more than five years and meet other requirements, like learning English, should be allowed to stay in some legalized status. Most Americans feel that these immigrants are doing work that Americans don't want and are not responsible for driving down wages. That is a huge start! It seems to me, that with a legalized status, it would be much easier for them to contibute towards the services that they use. Let's face, while many of these immigrants do pay some form of taxes, others, like those working as domestics and gardeners, often don't. Cool. I hope all our congresmen and women are reading these same polls.
