Description
Immigration remains one of the top issues for American voterstoday, and the global refugee crisis as a whole ranks as one of the modern world’s top concerns. In America, as in other countries, the public debate ranges from how to accommodate new immigrants to how many immigrants should be allowed in the first place, and how those immigrants should or shouldn’t become naturalized as citizens of their new host nation.

In this 48-minute video of America Speaks, pollster and political analyst Dr. Frank Luntz asks U.S. voters how they think about immigration and what they’d like to see their country do differently in the years ahead.
