KINGSTON New Hampshire (Reuters) - As President Barack Obama considers sidestepping Congress to loosen U.S. immigration policy, a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Americans are deeply worried that illegal immigration is threatening the nation's culture and economy.

Seventy percent of Americans - including 86 percent of Republicans - believe undocumented immigrants threaten traditional U.S. beliefs and customs, according to the poll.

The findings suggest immigration could join Obamacare - the healthcare insurance overhaul - and the economy as hot button issues that encourage more Republicans to vote in November's congressional election.

With Congress failing to agree on broad immigration reforms, Obama could act alone in the next few weeks to give work permits to up to 5 million undocumented immigrants and delay some deportations, according to media reports.

Hispanic and liberal voters would welcome that, but the online survey suggests much of the rest of the nation may not.

Despite arguments from the White House and groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that legal immigration benefits business, 63 percent of people in the online survey also said immigrants place a burden on the economy.

It will be WE the people who save this nation.

Those elected to protect and defend this nation obviously are in jobs way out of their chosen agenda paths.

Uh, that's the INTENT! Anyone that still doesn't recognize this should be charged for their oxygen - preferably at a rate higher than they can afford to pay.

Doesn’t matter unfortunately. Like the communist takeover of healthcare, this will be the communist takeover of our welfare system.
It’s all planned by the communists and endorsed by the lilly-white guilt-stricken crowd.

What are the other 37% thinking?

I would normally agree with your sentiment. But I didn’t vote for it even one time and I don’t want to eat it. Unfortunately it’s coming our way.

I guess this is some consolation - those of us who expressed reservations about loose border policy were way ahead of things while those who tossed around the "xenophobe" & "nativist" know-nothings in response look like the malleable buffoons they are.

Or were, since most are no longer around here.

You and I, and those like us are stuck. Fortunately, I am like the ant, and many of the Obama lovers are like the grasshopper. I will enjoy seeing the grasshoppers try to survive the winter they’ve asked for.

Of course this 3rd World failures threaten our way of life and the economy. A strong case can be made that these illegal aliens also threaten the environment. So where are the environmentalists?

I’ll worry about my ‘way’ of life once I am certain that I may keep my life.

Lots of the ‘children’ who are coming here from Mexico and elsewhere south of the border, are hardly the most wholesome and docile looking folks.

I wouldn’t want AMERICANS who look like that to be my neighbors... much less that grasping and hostile crowd!!

It is the intent.

Dana Milbank wrote an editorial in The Washington Post titled “Battle Cry of the White Man” where he honestly lays out the Democrat plan to use massive illegal immigration to demographically reduce White American citizens to a permanent, marginalized minority status in this country.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3189922/posts

The Progressive Elite sees White America as an embarrassing remnant of an oppressive, racist, paternalistic, homophobic and colonial past that must be eradicated so that a utopian New America devoid of it's White majority can be re born and prosper.

Milbank brilliantly summarizes and lays out the Progressive Elites views on White America and their plan to destroy the dominant White majority with a tsunami of Third World Minority immigration honestly and succinctly with the following paragraph from the Washington Post

“But for the country, the disassociation of whiteness and American-ness is to be celebrated. Indeed, it is the key to our survival. This is not merely about a fresh labor supply but about the fresh blood needed to cure what ails us. To benefit from such a transfusion, we not only need to welcome more immigrants but also to adopt pieces of their culture lacking in our own — just as we have done with other (mostly European) cultures for centuries.”

This has been the Democrats under the radar strategy in California since the 1980s and they have finally succeeded in demographically swamping white voters since the year 2000

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/01/california-minority_n_945181.html

The Left in Great Britain has executed pretty much the same plan by inviting in massive illegal and legal immigration of Muslims into that country and placing them on the Dole.
