While the mainstream media is trying to portray deporting illegal immigrants as an unpopular policy, a survey from Cygnal Polling indicates this policy is popular. Nearly two-thirds of voters think that illegal immigration is a serious problem. This includes 97% of Republicans, 71% of "swing" voters, 60% of independents, but only 33% of Democrats.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) discounted these results "because these polls only include registered voters. If elections were really restricted to this narrow constituency we would be worried. However, many states governed by our Party don't limit ballots to only those who are registered to vote. They don't require IDs to cast a ballot. So Democrats can cast multiple ballots though early voting, absentee voting, after election day balloting, and ballot harvesting. Haven't you been paying attention to elections we've been winning where there are more ballots cast than there are registered voters in the district?"
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla) asserted "we are going to put an end to Democrat vote fraud by passing the 'Save Act.' This law will require every voter to show a photo ID before he or she is given a ballot. We know that Senator Schumer and his Democrat colleagues will try to filibuster this legislation, but we are going back to the 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' type of filibuster where senators must actually talk to keep the filibuster going. Once they stop talking we hold a vote and the 'Save Act' passes with a simple majority."
Schumer laughed "at Scott's naivety. There are 47 Democrats in the Senate. We will easily outlast the Republicans with our tag-team of experienced bloviators. There's no way a voter ID requirement ever gets passed into law."
I’m watching the hearing on ICE on cspan-3 and rep dan Goldman is a disgrace. I feel sorry for whoever lives in his district. He basically just called ICE agents and border patrol gestpo and murderers..
gestapo...sry
Okay, rep Delia Ramirez is also nuts. Im going to watch something else before my bp goes any higher...sigh
“Nearly two-thirds of voters think that illegal immigration is a serious problem.”
As with most polls, polls on this issue depend on how the question is asked.
Frame it with Murderers, rapists and 80% are for deporting.
Frame it as church going families and less than 40% favor deporting.
