Poll: Most Americans say Boston attack not immigration issue

Most Americans do not see the Boston Marathon bombing and its suspects as an immigration issue, according to a poll released on Wednesday that also found the US public still relatively inattentive to the debate on revising immigration laws.

According to the Pew Research Center survey, only 36 percent of respondents said the Boston attack should be considered an "important factor" in the debate over how to revamp US immigration law, while 58 percent said it was "mostly a separate issue." (Reuters)
