U.S. Inaction Faulted, Immigration Polls Find - washingtonpost.com:

In Maryland and Virginia, about seven in 10 people say the federal government has not done enough to deal with illegal immigration and one in five describe it as "a very serious" local problem, according to two newly released Washington Post polls.

In both states, majorities of those surveyed said recent immigrants have changed their communities, but there is wide disagreement about their impact on daily life. Attitudes are much harsher toward undocumented immigrants than toward legal newcomers.
