I have never been asked to answer a poll question so I wonder who is being polled. I think they should be deported and apply for citizenship just like every other person who wants to live in the US. Why is this even an issue, JUST ENFORCE THE LAW.

You must have done this poll somewhere with low immigration.  You would not get the same results in Arizona. 12 plus hour emergency room waits. Shootouts on our freeways. Prisons and schools filled with illegals. Next poll ask an area that is unindated with them and quality of life is miserable.
