The so-called Senate “Gang of Eight” – four Republicans and four Democrats -- seems to be headed for agreement on a solution for illegal immigration, including a guest worker plan. Illegal immigration is not something strange to Americans – more than one in four in the latest YouGov Poll say they know someone who is an illegal immigrant.

Much still needs to be worked out in Congress. But young adults are much more likely to know an illegal immigrant than are senior citizens; there isn’t much difference in awareness between Democrats and Republicans. The majority of Hispanics – nearly two out of three personally know someone in the U.S. illegally.
