32% Angry About Immigration, but Not Mad at Immigrants [Rasmussen..........]

Good news:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that along with the 32% who express "anger," an additional 27% are frustrated with the lack of action. Thirty-nine percent (39%) say it’s just one of many issues they have an opinion about.
Overall, public attitudes about immigration have shifted little in the past year. By a 63% to 28% margin, voters continue to believe it is more important to gain control of the border than to resolve the status of those who are already in the country illegally. Democrats are more evenly divided than other voters, but a plurality (49%) agree that controlling the border is the top priority.

The bad news
At the same time, by a 56% to 27% margin, all voters continue to favor a welcoming immigration policy that would let anybody move to the United States except national security threats, criminals, and those looking to live off the U.S. welfare system. Republicans and unaffiliated voters are a bit more supportive of a welcoming policy than Democrats, but 52% of those in Barack Obama’s party support that approach. Among those who say it’s more important to gain control of the border, 60% favor a welcoming immigration policy.

Voters who are angry about the issue also hold views right in line with the population at large—they favor a welcoming immigration policy by a two-to-one margin (60% to 30%).
