Overall, just 21% are opposed to the enforcement-only approach

Note how they position this in a negative sense. It's not, "79% want Enforcement Only", or "More than 2/3's want Enforcement Only!" but rather the opposite of that.

And if it's true that about 80% of the electorate are fine with the current immigration laws, and just want them enforced, then where is the political impetus for so-called "immigration reform" in the first place?

Because states like mine (GA) are passing stringent anti illegal laws and they want to legalize them as quickly as possible to circumvent this problem for their ag and poultry interests. Ours starts in less than a month and that is why you see both Ga Senators up there smiling with Ted. They have special interests with deep pockets to protect you serf. %^)

State legislatures passing tough laws. Can't have that, it might drive taxpayer-subsidized cheap labor away.
