Immigration reform won't lead to an immigration surge, there's been less and less people coming. A large majority support securing the border and legalizing the people already here, which is what the bill actually does.

It does more than that.  It also increases legal immigration and visas for skilled workers, and creates a guest-worker program.

Gallup has also reported that 80+% of Americans favor a path to citizenship for those already here.

The thing is both stat and the title of the thread are probably true. Most Americans when asked what they want on anything want both sides.

A person can want to give citizenship to those already here without wanting increased immigration levels (though I guess someone can argue it's not a workable combination).
