Political Group Survey: the PVS survey question on illegal immigrants
Source: PVS Survey
Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Immigration: Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship?'
PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
Also see the PVS survey question on the border wall as a related survey question; the AFA survey question on abolishing ICE from a similar survey question; and the 2018 CC survey question on border security.
