However, among those who do offer an opinion on the new legislation, Hispanics are more likely than Asian Americans to say they favor it\u201427% vs. 20%.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Views of the new immigration legislation tend to be associated with nativity for Hispanics and Asian Americans. Among Hispanics, 38% of the foreign born favor the new immigration legislation, more than double the share among the native born (15%). Similarly, immigrant Asian Americans are more than twice as likely as native-born Asian Americans (24% vs. 9%) to say they favor the new immigration legislation being considered by Congress.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Views about the new immigration legislation being considered by Congress are also associated with how much respondents have seen or heard about it.

In June 2013, the U.S. Senate passed a comprehensive immigration reform bill\u2014including a pathway to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants who meet certain requirements and pay fines. But since then, the legislation has remained stalled in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two surveys asked respondents about the importance of passing new immigration legislation this year. Among Hispanics, 69% say it is \u201cextremely\u201d (38%) or \u201cvery\u201d (31%) important that this happen. By contrast, just 44% of Asian Americans say the same.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among both groups, immigrants are more likely than the native born to say it is at least very important that significant new immigration legislation be passed this year. Among Hispanics, eight-in-ten (80%) immigrants say this, compared with 57% of native-born Hispanics. Among Asian-American immigrants, half (49%) say it is at least very important that immigration legislation be passed this year. Among native-born Asian Americans, 31% say the same.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among Latinos who say they have seen or heard \u201ca lot\u201d about the new immigration legislation, fully 83% say it is \u201cextremely\u201d (45%) or \u201cvery\u201d (38%) important that it be passed this year. That share falls to 69% among those who say they have seen or heard \u201ca little\u201d about the new legislation (39% say extremely important and 30% say very important). And among Latinos who say they have seen or heard \u201cnothing at all\u201d about the new legislation, just 44% say it is extremely (20%) or very (25%) important that significant new immigration legislation be passed this year.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pew Research survey of Asian Americans shows a similar pattern. Among Asian Americans who say they have seen or heard a lot about the new immigration legislation, 57% say it is extremely (30%) or very (27%) important that it be passed this year. That share is 47% among those who say they have seen or heard a little about it (12% say extremely important and 35% say very important). The share falls to 27% among those who say they have heard or seen nothing at all about the new legislation (11% say extremely important and 16% say very important).<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;if-legislation-doesnt-pass-who-is-responsible-republicans-or-democrats&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"if-legislation-doesnt-pass-who-is-responsible-republicans-or-democrats\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"immig-blame\"><\/a>If Legislation Doesn\u2019t Pass, Who Is Responsible\u2014Republicans or Democrats?<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/hispanic\/2013\/12\/19\/on-immigration-policy-deportation-relief-seen-as-more-important-than-citizenship\/ph-2013-12-immigration-02-04\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19415\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f0ead9\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f0ead9;\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" class=\"wp-image-19415 not-transparent\" alt=\"If New Immigration Legislation Does Not Pass this Year, Who Is to Blame?\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2013\/12\/PH-2013-12-immigration-02-04.png\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pew Research surveys asked Latinos and Asian Americans who would be responsible if significant new immigration legislation does not pass this year. Overall, half (48%) of Asian Americans and 43% of Latinos say Republicans in Congress would be most responsible.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, about three-in-ten (29%) Asian Americans say either Democrats in Congress (12%) or President Obama (13%) or both (4% volunteered this response) would be most to blame. Among Latinos, one-third (34%) say either Democrats in Congress (15%) or President Obama (18%) or both (1%) would be most to blame.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The foreign born and the native born hold similar views about this. For example, among Asian Americans, 54% of the native born and 47% of the foreign born say Republicans in Congress would be most responsible if new immigration legislation does not pass this year. In addition, 26% of native-born Asian Americans and 31% of foreign-born Asian Americans say either Democrats in Congress, President Obama or both would be most responsible if significant new immigration legislation doesn\u2019t pass this year.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among Hispanics, 39% of the native born and 46% of the foreign born would blame Republicans in Congress if significant new immigration legislation does not pass this year.

Jobs and the economy is regarded as an extremely important issue facing the country today by 47% of Hispanics, and health care by 41%. In addition, 38% of Hispanics say the federal government debt is an extremely important issue facing the nation today. Both survey data collections were fielded right as the U.S. federal government emerged from a two-week shutdown. About one-third (32%) of Latinos say immigration is an extremely important issue facing the country today.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among Asian Americans, the highest rated issue is jobs and the economy\u201463% say this is an\u00a0extremely important issue facing the country today. Next is education, with 56% of Asian Americans saying the issue is extremely important. That is followed by the federal government debt with 41% and health care with 40%. Overall, just 17% of Asian-American adults say immigration is an extremely important issue facing the country today.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Hispanics, immigration has consistently rated lower than such issues as education, jobs and health care (<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/hispanic\/2012\/10\/11\/latino-voters-support-obama-by-3-1-ratio-but-are-less-certain-than-others-about-voting\/\">Lopez and Gonzalez-Barrera, 2012<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/hispanic\/2010\/10\/05\/latinos-and-the-2010-elections-strong-support-for-democrats-weak-voter-motivation\/\">Lopez, 2010<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/hispanic\/2009\/01\/15\/hispanics-and-the-new-administration\/\">Lopez and Livingston, 2009<\/a>).

Support for this proposal is high among immigrants and the native born among both groups. About nine-in-ten (89%) immigrant Latinos and 80% of native-born Latinos say they approve of this proposal. A similar pattern exists among Asian Americans; 78% of immigrant Asian Americans and 83% of native-born Asian Americans say the same.<\/p>\n\n<h4 id=\"temporary-work-visas-for-highly-skilled-workers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Temporary Work Visas for Highly Skilled Workers<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asian Americans and Hispanics support a proposal to increase the number of temporary work visas for highly skilled workers.

Some 84% of the native-born Asian Americans and 82% of immigrant Asian Americans say they approve of a proposal to increase the number of temporary work visas for highly skilled workers.
