Most people in the United States think illegal immigration is a serious problem. A solid majority oppose making it easier for illegal immigrants to become legal workers or citizens. Some findings in recent polling:

Some 59 percent say they oppose allowing illegal immigrants to apply for legal, temporary-worker status, an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll found.

More than six in 10, 62 percent, say they oppose making it easier for illegal immigrants to become citizens, according to a Quinnipiac University poll. Nine in 10 in that poll say they consider immigration to be a serious problem – with 57 percent of those polled saying very serious.

Three-fourths say the United States is not doing enough along its borders to keep illegal immigrants out, a Time Magazine poll found.

Time for America to act. Enforce our borders!

Did they actually call them illegal immigrants? I will be shocked to hear that Time actually called them what they are !

If they'd have done it after 1986, the last time they lied their asses off about getting serious about illegal immigration, we wouldn't have tens of millions of people who dispise the laws of our nation living amongst us.

Quick someone, tell me Bush isn't at fault in this along with a whole crowd of other corporate slaves.

A KATU.COM (Portland, OR) poll has tried to play games with America's view that ALL Illegal immigrants should be thrown out of this country. They did this by dividing up the poll questions on immigration.

However, when you take a close look at the questions and answers AND separate the Pro-Illegal-Immigration poll results from the Anti-Illegal-Immigration poll results what you get are the true poll results - that being that 80% of Americans in this poll are AGAINST Illegal immigration.

Here's the results from that poll shown above:

(1) All illegal immigrants should be deported 58%
(2) Illegal immigrants fulfill an important role in our society 14%
(3) Illegal immigrants should be given the chance to get citizenship 5%
(4) We need tougher laws on proof of citizenship requirements 8%
(5) Lax immigration laws are a national security threat 14%

They keep taking polls and nothing gets done.

The Senators are discussing HB1Visa's instead of addressing the real problem!

The Senators said we need visa's for people who are educated in Math and Science, question why aren't our American students being trained in math and science?

Public concerned about illegal immigration, polls say

They had to do a poll to find this answer?

DUH!!

[American Quilter]

Astounding the way the politicians ignore the consistent and overwhelming evidence that a clear, significant majority of Americans is against illegal immigration. I'd like to vote out every single one who doesn't stand up and VOTE to close the borders to illegals, deny them all privileges, and send back as many as we can round up.

I'd also like to win the lottery...

I would say more than concerned. Pissed off is much closer to the feeling. But don't worry Illegal Alien, it's not you we are most mad at. It's our elected, so-called representatives not doing their friggin' job.

[trubluolyguy]

Don't worry, I am sure someone will be along shortly to call you a racist and a Bush hater.

Paging Mr. Rove, Paging Mr. Rove, the public has spoken. Please go to the red courtesy phone.

The geniuses are now stopping traffic on the 110 in So Cal.

The bill the Senate Judiciary Committee is working on now would allow an additional 34 million people into our country over the next 10 years, Senator Sessions just pointed out, and would allow all the illegals here now to regularize their status. It is getting worse and worse the longer the committee works on it.

[Supernatural]

Well, the republicans won't do anything about it and the democrats won't do anything about it either.

So, who to vote for next time? The republicans, who are bad, or the democrats, who are worse?

But on this issue they are the same.

Name your poison.

[trubluolyguy]

Why is traffic stopping?

[unixfox]

They keep taking polls and nothing gets done.

Bush has always said polls don't matter to him. Apparently open borders don't matter much to him either.

[unixfox]

Name your poison.

"Some 59 percent say they oppose allowing illegal immigrants to apply for legal, temporary-worker status, an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll found."

And at least one in ten polled are illegals, another two or three in ten are enabling the illegals and hate America - so that pretty much accounts for everyone.

Our kids spend much of their day learning about diversity,gay rights, the civil rights era,and sex education they don't have time for math and science.
