Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : They call the legislation "an unlawful attempt to engage in federal immigration enforcement."
36% : Congressional Democrats are urging DOJ to step in to prevent the law from taking effect in March.
30% : "This bill is set to be the most extreme anti-immigrant state bill in the United States; it is clearly preempted by federal law and when it goes into effect will likely result in racial profiling, significant due process violations, and unlawful arrests of citizens, lawful permanent residents, and others," the Democrats, led by U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro of San Antonio, wrote.
