Poll: Government Policies Encourage Illegal Immigration
Patriot Room ^ | 10-13-09 | Scott Martin

Some interesting results from the latest Rasmussen poll on illegal immigration show that voters overwhelmingly support conservative public policy on the issue.

"U.S. voters want aggressive action to restrict illegal immigration, but they don’t think immigrants should bear the brunt of the enforcement efforts on their own. Most say the federal government and those hiring illegal immigrants also need to be brought into the discussion.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% say the policies of the federal government encourage people to enter the United States illegally. Only 27% disagree, and 17% are not sure. "

Biggest “DUH” of the day award!

Everyone on this board knows this. The problem is the State Media is covering it up so the rest of America doesn’t find out about it.

Poll: Government Policies Encourage Illegal Immigration

Of course! The politicians in Washington don't have to deal with the fallout of the illegal immigrants like everyone in the rest of the Country does. Increased crime, crowded schools, decaying neighborhoods are the result.

All they see is possible votes (legal or illegal) and money - and that includes the GOP too!

The view that the federal government is enticing people to violate the law is consistent with earlier surveys. Among voters who are angry about immigration,83% are angry at the federal government. Only 12% direct their anger at the immigrants.

Unfortunately, it's most all been undirected anger, and the critters in Congress know it. All that anger in 2006 and 2007, and almost no one in Congress lost their seat because they supported amnesty and lax enforcement.

Voters better learn to direct that anger on election day or we'll have amnesty and continued lax border enforcement forever(if we manage to fight off amnesty until 2010 election day).
