Large Majority Of American Oppose Equal Rights For Illegal Immigrants
Eurasia Review ^ | April 29, 2010

Posted on 04/29/2010 11:49:28 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

A large majority of likely voters do not agree that illegal aliens are entitled to the same rights and basic freedoms as U.S. citizens.

The Zogby Interactive poll of 2,108 adults conducted from April 16-19 also found broad support for major immigration reform and immigration regulations that are more restrictive.79% do not agree that illegal aliens are entitled to the same rights and basic freedoms as U.S. citizens.

Liberals are the only ideological group where more agree (49%) than disagree (46%) that illegal aliens have those rights.

Both Congress and President Barack Obama get very low on their handling of the immigration issue. Just 7% give Congress positive grades of excellent or good, and 21% give Obama positive marks.

4 to 1 against giving citizens’ rights to illegal aliens. I guess that means that 80% of Americans are just bigots.

The word “illegal” needs to be constantly stressed in every sentence in order to frame the conversation and win the debate.

This should be a no-brainer.

They are here ILLEGALLY!!! They have no rights.

The constitution was created for our citizens.

Absolutely so. The meaning of 'citizen' has lost nearly all value other than you are the only ones legally obligated to pay taxes.

And that only applies to 53% of us.

...Oppose Equal Rights For Illegal Immigrants???

So there you have it: according to the media, the law unfairly discriminates against those who break it.

My parents were legal immigrants.

They are invaders.

And the Republicans (the RINOs at least) blow a perfect opportunity to distinguish themselves from the Dims.

NO they don’t want equal rights. Equal rights means they have the right to be prosecuted for committing crimes (crossing border illegally, and various employment related crimes).

They want special rights making them immune to prosecution. Something US Citizens don’t even get.

Leftists apparently believe that illegals actually have more rights than US citizens. Illegal aliens or resident aliens for that matter are not required to obey the federal health care mandates.

True...they are not Immigrants....they are Illegal Aliens, Invaders, Criminals....not Immigrants

Calling an Illegal Alien an “Immigrant” is like calling a shoplifter a “customer”

Yes, unfortunatley that’s about what it boils down to:
The right to pay taxes.

What a crying shame this country as turned into.

79%???

That’s insane and ignorant. That number should be 100%. There are actually people out there who think that illegal aliens should have exactly the same rights they have?

So what’s the point of having citizenship in the first place? Do they want to open up the borders to anyone who wants to come in, no questions asked? If so, I want us to drop all of them off right in front of their houses.

Do these illegal aliens have any responsibilities to America?

This issue is better at exposing elitists than
the gun issue is.

Who’d a thunk it?

Attention All Politicians: Pay very close attention to what this poll is saying, if you have any intention of keeping your jobs.

Ignore these numbers and go on the record as being in opposition to Arizona's new immigration enforcement law at your peril.
