Does it? The reporting on polls I've heard of sound like it has a few to many convenient assumptions baked in.
Answer that they is a limit to how much immigration is sustainable? Clearly you must think we're over that limit now.
Answer that cheating visa systems is bad? Clearly you must think the quotas are high enough as they are.
Answer that opening the floodgates would let in problematic people? Clearly you must think contrary to data! that the people currently being let in are bad (rather than that the process acts as a filter).
It's at least as complex of an issue as the new hot topic, where appropriately formulated polls can claim to find overwhelming support for either extreme position despite that (or because, really) most people seem to favor something somewhere in the middle.
