60 % say border security most important immigration reform

CNN:
While a small majority of Americans are in favor of the immigration bill currently before the U.S. Senate, according to a new national poll the old and young don't see eye to eye on the issue.

The poll's release also comes as some GOP senators ready an amendment to the 'Gang of Eight' bill that they say would further bolster border security. Sixty-two percent of those questioned in the survey say that border security should be the main focus U.S. immigration policy, with 36% saying that creating an eventual path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants should be the top priority.

This does not sound like the spin we are getting out of Washington.  It sounds like the voters are closer to the Cornyn, Cruz position than the Rubio-Schumer position.
