Why is that shocking? Poll after poll shows that immigrants who are already here are against illegal immigration.
Many are, the exception being groups like La Raza and its followers. Of course they undoubtedly favor Mexican illegal alien immigrants over Central Americans.
You should hear the legal immigrants from Sri Lanka hold forth about the illegals, no use for illegals
This is what I have found doing my own polling... since I now live in a phoenix neighborhood that has become little Mexico... I have asked numerous Hispanic neighbors during yard sales etc... and they are all pretty much in agreement that they need to get in line and come legally. It is the younger Hispanics that have been all fired up in school by being taught that things are not equal for them....
What drives me NUTS currently is the lefts arguement saying that George Bush’s law has Obama’s hands tied... but if the border had been secured, it would be a mute point, because they would not be here...
Now I am reading leftists conspiracy whispers that it was the Republicans that got this influx started to make Obama look bad... What a crock, The Obama administration has been stirring the pot of civil unrest since he came into office... Its the only way he can be a 3 term president, by getting the shit rolling so bad that he can declare martial law... all the local small town police departments have been sufficiently militarized... so thinking time is getting close now.
The perception is that all immigrants want a massive influx of illegal aliens from the lands of their birth. That tends not to be the case.
As one of them bluntly told me, "Those are the < racist/bigot/sexist/homophobe remark censored > that I came here to get away from!"
And conversely, poll after poll of "hispanics" show that they overwhelmingly support immigration reform.
But these purposely pro-immigration polls omit any facts about the immigration status of the participants.
If factual immigration information were also taken into consideration, it would show that the vast majority of supporters of immigration reform are also illegal aliens.
But that's not the worst part, because if both GOPe and DEMs fear losing "latino" support over immigration, that means they also KNOW AND CONDONE ALLOWING ILLEGALS TO VOTE.
