New data from a survey states that a large number of Americans felt that the passage of the Department of Homeland Security funding bill should not be blocked. That means they were not supporting the Republicans who have been trying to block the passage to the bill, which would be repealing President Obama’s executive actions on immigration.

Most voters in the survey felt that the Congress should pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill; they felt that the Congress should focus on passing the reform rather than forcing the President to reverse his executive order. More than 59 percent of the people surveyed felt that the entire time spent on the funding debate was a waste of time- time that could have been spent fruitfully on working out a bipartisan reform bill that strengthened the border security while giving undocumented immigrants a gateway to immigration. A majority of Democrats, Independents and Republicans supported the moving forward of immigration reform over reversing the President’s actions. Very few voters supported the Republican action to use various tactics that could force the President to change or reverse the order.
