Surveys Show 60 Percent Opposition to all Immigration
Breitbart ^ | 8/2/2017

Posted on 08/02/2017 5:21:13 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

Roughly sixty percent of surveyed respondents want to stop all legal and illegal immigration, says a pair of sophisticated polls which allowed people to speak their mind without fear of progressives’ hate. The polls of white Americans also showed that American college graduates are even more opposed to immigration than the average American, flipping the commonplace claim that people with additional years of education are more welcoming of divide-and-rule diversity than are blue-collar Americans.

The little-known 2010 report also showed that almost three-of-four white liberals hide their preference for zero immigration. According to the survey, which was conducted in 2005:

Political liberals are considerably more likely than moderates or conservatives to conceal support for immigration restrictionism. While 26 percent of liberals claim to support cutting off immigration in response to a direct question, 71 percent of liberals [when asked indirectly] support immigration restrictionism.

The second poll was conducted in 2010 and was published in 2014. It showed similar opposition to any and all immigration — plus a greater willingness by employed Americans to reveal their opposition. The second study concluded:

The results suggest that respondents mask their opposition and [that] underlying anti-immigration sentiment is far higher than direct estimates suggest even before the financial crisis… We implore future efforts to measure anti-immigration sentiment to be cautious about direct measurement of opposition, as these measures underestimate anti-immigration sentiment both before and after the financial crisis.

The surveys help explain popular opposition to the establishment-boosted cheap-labor-and-amnesty “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” bill of 2013, and also help explain the hidden public support for candidate Donald Trump in the 2016 election

Well, of course. Our country has been turned into a dump and no one feels any loyalty to one another.

Well past time to rerun the surveys.

Also run one regarding the import of Islam (which the US has NO NEED of).

There never was a hyphenated American that was a good American. As such, it’s no wonder that the Democrat party is the party of the hyphenated Americans.

From 1925 to 1965 we curbed all immigration because America had too many. We need to do that again.

1880-1910: 30% of the new immigrants returned to the old country. Couldn’t hack it. We ended up with the best and brightest.

There is no voter fraud.

AND

these new non-assimilated groups are expressing their disdain for this country, and they are being supported by liberal politicians and the media to curry votes for democrats (as well as creating government handouts/dependence for the incomers).

1900-1920 - Most of the new immigrants coming to Pittsburgh from Eastern Europe intended to work a few years, save up some money and go home. Then WW I broke out and they were stuck here.

There were polls back in the 90’s that showed over 70% of Americans wanted major reductions in immigration. Unfortunately, the GOP scum like Gingrich did everything they could to keep the borders wide open.

Well, there are zillions of crimes that they can be found guilty of, and then be deported as a result.
