Pooh, I don't know, and the FR Poll is anecdotal at best, but if you are referring to Poll's on "Illegal Immigration", I think we can all agree that they consistantly run in the 70 percentile against "Illegal" Immigration and has held steady for at least a decade. Media Poll's are suspect and they always have been, depending on how the question is asked and who is asked. Another poster say's I am in the minority, and I'm sorry but 65 is bigger than 21 by 3, so maybe that poster misread. 2000 was close by anybody's standard's, even Rove's. The Uniter did nothing to help improve that with this proposal. We have no choice but to wait for Congress to act, and hopefully they'll see this outburst and seal our borders before anything else. Perhaps we should invade Mexico and rid the world of another despot, absorb them and their resources and move on. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the WH. I understand the rats are loving this, but who's fault is it? Our's or George's? Blackbird.

We should have done that when the first time the Mexican army crossed our border and attacked our citizens. Clinton let them get away with it and so did Bush.

We have a hostile cesspool on our southern border. Their army attacks us inside our borders and we do nothing except kiss their ass. They sided with Saddam in the U.N. and this president ignored it. His “you’re either with us or against us” crap is very selective. It looks like it only applies to countries that compete with his father’s business interests.

We can send our military to Liberia to take sides in a civil war that has nothing what so ever to do with our interests, or with us, but we can’t protect American citizens inside our own borders from attacks from a foreign military.

But what the hell, the president is a Republican and almost as popular as Clinton was, so let’s forget all this. The important thing is he can win an election and he is a Republican. Everything else is unimportant.

No, I asked what the overall approval polls for PRESIDENT BUSH were.

I think we can all agree that they consistantly run in the 70 percentile against "Illegal" Immigration and has held steady for at least a decade.

And, in my experience, polls like that are like asking if someone's against sin and in favor of motherhood--it's like asking Democrat voters how a "generic Democrat" (whom they can project their ideal candidate onto) does against Bush. In this case, the respondent can simply say that they oppose illegal immigration. That's an easy answer.

Start asking questions such as "Do you support requiring all citizens and legal residents to carry identification papers on their persons at all times, on pain of imprisonment?"

The answer to THAT question will be interesting.
