Half of Floridians Want In-State Tuition for Illegal Immigrants

A University of North Florida (UNF) poll released on Wednesday finds half of Floridians support giving undocumented immigrants in-state tuition but the poll also finds the proposal generates passionate opposition.

The survey shows 33 percent strongly support the proposal to give illegal immigrants in-state tuition while 17 percent say they somewhat support it. But 29 percent strongly oppose the idea and 11 percent somewhat oppose it.

The poll of 565 Floridians was taken from March 6-16 and had a margin of error of +/- 4.12 percent.
