The poll also found that Americans overwhelmingly support a mandatory national employment verification system, with 85 percent citing it as a somewhat or very important characteristic of a system to make sure that only legal workers get jobs. Support for liability protection for employers participating in a government employment verification system also draws wide support, with 91 percent agreeing that such a system should also provide protection from liability for the employer who uses the system properly.

The national survey was based on telephone interviews with 1,045 adults, conducted January 10-16, 2008. The results are subject to a margin of sampling error of approximately plus or minus three percent. The survey was conducted on behalf of the Society for Human Resource Management.

Detailed results of the poll are available at http://www.legal-workforce.org.
