Although, there may be some Republicans that do believe that immigrants are hard workers, it doesn’t stop them from believing that it may encourage other immigrants to come to the United States illegally. As a matter of fact, according to http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/07/08/5-facts-about-republicans-and-immigration/, 68% of Republicans surveyed,
