With the upcoming\u200c presidential \u200delection, voters will have the opportunity to vote on several \u200dproposed laws, \u200dincluding Prop. 314.\u200c This\u2062 measure seeks to criminalize\u200d the use of \u2062false information on applications for\u2062 public \u200bbenefits and employment by \u200bnon-citizens, as well as making it illegal for\u2064 non-citizens to enter Arizona between ports of entry \u2062or to disobey orders \u200dto return\u200d to\u200c their home \u200ccountry. It\u2062 also proposes heightened penalties for selling fentanyl that \u200bresults \u2064in death, elevating it\u2062 to a class 2 felony.<\/p>\n<p>According \u200bto the \u200bpoll, which surveyed 1,003 voters\u2064 between August 12-16 with a margin of \u2062error\u2063 of\u2062 3.09%, 63%\u2062 of respondents support Prop. 314. The proposal garners strong backing from 77%\u200c of Republicans and shows \u2062notable support from \u2063other demographics, including 58% of college graduates and 56% \u2064of Hispanics. Interestingly, even among\u200d Democrats, who generally espouse more progressive views \u2064on immigration, only 23% oppose the measure. This reflects a growing concern about border control among voters, who\u200c are influenced\u200d by\u200c negative\u200c news reports regarding the \u2063situation at the southern border. David Byler, the chief of research \u2062at NPI, suggests that \u200dvoters are increasingly favoring law and order approaches to immigration, indicating \u2064a potential shift in perspectives \u2064influenced by \u200bsecurity concerns.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Arizonans show overwhelming support for border control ballot measure: Poll<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1746414\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>(The Center Square) &ndash; An overwhelming number of Arizonans support greater security at the southern border, according to recent polling done by Noble Predictive Insights.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/as-counting-deadline-nears-dr-oz-holds-nearly-1000-vote-lead-in-pennsylvania-senate-primary\/\" title=\"As Counting Deadline Nears, Dr. Oz Holds Nearly 1,000 Vote Lead In Pennsylvania Senate Primary\">presidential election coming<\/a> up in November, Arizonans will not only have the chance to vote for their local legislators, but to vote in laws proposed on the ballot &ndash; one of those being a measure that would increase criminal prosecution of non-U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The measure, Prop. 314, would make it a crime for non-citizens to use false information in applications for public benefits and employment, to enter Arizona between ports of entry, to refuse to comply with orders to return to their home country. It also would increase penalties for the selling of fentanyl that causes the death of an individual, raising it to a class 2 felony.<\/p>\n<p>The NPI report, surveying 1,003 voters between Aug. 12-16 with a 3.09% margin of error, indicates that 63% of Arizona voters would support Prop. 314. The highest support comes from Republicans (77%), but is also backed by liberal groups including college graduates (58%), Hispanics (56%), Democrats (23%) and 18-to-34-year-olds (52%).<\/p>\n<p>While Democrats typically have a different approach when it comes to addressing the border crisis, with Gov. Katie Hobbs focusing on support to border communities and expanding services in the area, only 23% of Democrats polled said they were against the measure.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s a couple reasons for this. One is that voters are reacting to what they see in the news. For some time now, voters have seen pretty bad news coming from the southern border,&rdquo; said David Byler, NPI chief of research, noting that some Democratic voters tend to have more conservative views than the Democratic party when it comes to immigration. &ldquo;They think generally, if you poll them, that the situation there is not under control, people are worried about safety and security and the United States government&rsquo;s level of [being able to] get control of the situation. So, what you see here is strength for a law and order position.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Byler also said that when it comes to ballot propositions, voters do not always vote in line with their party affiliation.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, the most strongly backed components of the measure that Arizonans support include prosecuting drug dealers who sell fentanyl to an individual who dies from an overdose, with 77% support, and requiring employers to verify immigration status of workers, with 75% support. Support on reforms around immigrants obtaining public benefits is less with only 56% supporting.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Opponents will have trouble pushing the argument &lsquo;people are only supporting this because of the fentanyl stuff, they don&rsquo;t care about the immigration&rsquo; &ndash; that&rsquo;s what voters like most about Prop 314,&rdquo; said Mike Noble, NPI Founder and CEO. &ldquo;Prop 314 is popular across party lines, and that is a difficult trend to disrupt with only a couple of months until Election Day.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>There will be a total of 13 propositions on the November ballot that Arizonans will have an opportunity to vote on.

As the presidential election approaches in November, voters in Arizona will have the opportunity to elect local officials and decide on various proposed laws, including Proposition 314. This measure aims to increase criminal prosecutions for non-U.S. citizens who provide false information on applications for public benefits and employment, unlawfully enter Arizona between designated ports of entry, or refuse orders to return to their home country. Additionally, it seeks to impose harsher penalties for selling fentanyl that results in death, elevating such offenses to a class 2 felony.<\/p>\n<p>The survey included responses from 1,003 voters between August 12-16 and has a margin of error of 3.09%. It found that 63% of respondents support Prop. 314, with Republicans showing the highest backing at 77%. Support also comes from various groups including college graduates (58%), Hispanics (56%), Democrats (23%), and individuals aged 18-34 (52%). Despite differing views among Democrats regarding border issues\u2014Governor Katie Hobbs emphasizes support for border communities\u2014only 23% opposed the measure.<\/p>\n<p>David Byler, NPI&#8217;s chief researcher, noted that voter concerns are influenced by negative news about the southern border situation. Many Democratic voters may hold more conservative views on immigration than their party&#8217;s stance suggests; they generally feel unsafe and believe the government is not effectively managing border issues.<\/p>\n<p>Byler pointed out that when voting on ballot propositions, individuals do not always align with their party affiliations. The poll indicates strong support for specific aspects of Prop. 314: prosecuting drug dealers linked to fentanyl-related deaths garners approval from 77% of respondents while requiring employers to verify workers&#8217; immigration status receives backing from 75%. However, only about half (56%) support reforms related to immigrants accessing public benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Noble, NPI&#8217;s founder and CEO stated that opponents may struggle with arguments suggesting public interest is solely driven by concerns over fentanyl rather than immigration issues since many voters appreciate both aspects of Prop.314 equally across party lines\u2014a trend likely difficult to change as Election Day approaches.<\/p>\n<p>In total, there will be thirteen propositions available for Arizonans&#8217; votes this November; further details can be found here<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2337141,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Border_Wall_Crisis_Southern_Immigration_nn1.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4472,32912,33102,3921,34832],"class_list":["post-2337140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-arizona","tag-ballot-measure","tag-border-control","tag-poll","tag-public-opinion"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Border_Wall_Crisis_Southern_Immigration_nn1.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2337140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337140\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2337141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2337140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2337140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2337140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
