Nobody in their right mind wants the US to be overrun with illegal aliens, jobs are hard enough to find for those of us who live here legally.

Judge Hanen’s overturning of Amnesty is HUGE. Battlefront #2 will be stopping Barry’s immigration of thousands of Syrian ‘refugees’, some of whom are surely ISIS in disguise.

To quote one of Robert A. Heinlein’s characters, this poll “had same significance as squeals of kittens in a box.”

Haha.

I think however, the tide is turning.

It is insane to import everything from a communist nation, with four or five times our population.

Bring back American jobs.

when asked about immigration’s impact on American jobs...

Well, that's the problem right there. It's a flawed poll. You're not supposed to connect immigration to the tight job market. You're supposed to connect immigration to inspirational stories about "dreamers".

Even the heavy black population in Georgia realizes that the illegal immigrants will raid the welfare funds and leave them with little, if any, benefits left over for them. Obama has traded black votes for brown votes and has no loyalty to them. He only has black skin; he was never raised as one or had to endure what they’ve gone through. He is not one of them. I think many of them are starting to realize this now....

Not true. People who use chaos to gain power (liberals, Alinsky types) will use any means necessary to gain that power. The problems that result from that can be contained after they have total control.

Many business “leaders” are short sighted and chase short term profits because it will advance their careers and allow them to move up the food chain. When they are high enough on the food chain they can avoid the problems associated with the immigrants. And they can afford to keep their children insulated also.

I’m equally sure that a national poll would conclude with the same results.

I’m sure he’s been livid since last night. I imagine his staff saw the horns come out and probably heard him vow to get the ruling overturned doing whatever it takes (and revenge if only implied). Jarrett probably got an earful and got right on the phone to get their legal team to file an appeal. They will probably bring forth some new legislation or regulations they’ve been cooking up in the background as retaliation too.

Polls don’t matter to Zero. He doesn’t care what anyone thinks. Not the public or Congress. Only White House focus groups matter, especially when testing talking point wording and catch phrases such as “strategic patience.”

It’s not just Obama’s amnesty and it’s not just Georgia.
In deep blue oregon voters shot down drivers licenses for illegal aliens by 65%.
American citizens are sick of their country being overrun and want it stopped.
Both parties want amnesty against the wishes of 65-70% of the citizens.
Eric Cantor was the first to pay the price.
There will be more.

I would bet that the large Hispanic population in the Atlanta area has something to do with it.

A possibly relevant anecdote from a Georgia resident:

At times I’d drive by a large mobile home “park”. At the front of this residential area is a tiny parking area, usually with a number of able-bodied men awaiting someone to drive up and solicit their labors. There was a small building there, serving residents, basically a small convenience store. That burned down. Then someone brought in a trailer to act as the store in the building’s absence. That burned down. Now nothing takes the store’s place, though able-bodied men continue to loiter there, waiting for work.

Georgia knows what its like to be overrun with illegals. We just got rid of a bunch of them with our new immigration law. We don’t need more coming.

We have run the worst of them on up to NC and points North as there are not the perks here for them anymore but way too many have burrowed in permanently. They contribute nothing to GA.
