Most U.S. voters have a positive view of undocumented immigrants, according to a survey published Thursday by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) and The George Washington University, which revealed the following:

• 71 percent consider undocumented immigrants are "family and community oriented" 
• 67 percent agreed they "fill jobs Americans don't want" 
• 59 percent disagreed they "are 'cheaters' here just to help themselves”
• 56 percent disagreed they "belong to gangs and commit many crimes" 
• 56 percent disagreed they "threaten our traditional American culture" 
• 55 percent disagreed they “live of Welfare and Social Security”

"The findings show that the majority of voters disagree with Donald Trump's offensive remarks, and that demonizing immigrants will not win the White House," said Clarissa Martínez-De-Castro, Deputy Vice President of Research, Advocacy and Legislation of NCLR. "The vast majority of Americans believe immigrants make valuable contributions to our nation.”
