Most American voters believe illegal immigrants should be given a chance to apply for citizenship -- if they meet certain requirements.
In addition, just over half of voters like a plan -- floated by Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich -- to allow local boards to decide the fate of some illegal immigrants living in the United States.
A new Fox News national poll asked voters what government policy should be toward illegal immigrants currently in the U.S. The results were released Friday.
Sixty-six percent think there should be a path to citizenship, but only if the individual meets requirements such as paying back taxes and learning English. Nineteen percent of voters believe all illegal immigrants should be deported, and another 13 percent take the middle ground of a guest-worker program that would allow immigrants to remain in the U.S. for a limited time.
