Harrye Aselph-Thorpe didn't think much about immigration when he moved to Phoenix eight years ago from Philadelphia.
But now, he sees it as the biggest problem facing the state.
"I don't have a problem when you do it legally," the 55-year-old marketing specialist said. "But there are so many people who are coming here illegally, and that creates all sorts of other problems."
The majority of other residents in metropolitan Phoenix feel the same way, according to a nationwide survey on immigration released Thursday that indicates 55 percent of Phoenix residents consider immigration a bigger problem than crime and traffic, issues that ranked higher in other areas of the country.
