Polls Show Mixed Views on Immigration and Wage Depression
What happened
A pro-migration survey found that 43% of 1,030 registered voters believe employers use immigration status to hold wages down for everyone, while 29% disagreed and 7% were unsure. Separately, a poll of 1,030 people in Florida showed that 50% opposed the Dignidad Act, a proposal by Maria Salazar, while 29% supported the idea of visa workers promising cheap labor for CEOs. The survey was conducted by Wave Polling and Research and funded by Unite Here! union.

Why it matters
The polling results highlight a national debate over the economic impact of immigration, specifically regarding wage depression and labor costs. Maria Salazar has promoted her Dignidad Act as a way to provide cheap labor for various industries, but the polling suggests this proposal is not universally popular among voters in Florida or nationally.
