Invoking symbols ranging from the Revolutionary War to Martin Luther King Jr., armed vigilantes are patrolling a segment of the Arizona-Mexico border and taking the enforcement of immigration law into their own hands. While they claim only to offer support to the Border Patrol, the Mexican government is on edge, human rights activists have flooded the area, and President Bush has distanced himself from the effort.

I agree, but it wasn't the new satan for some on FR(GW Bush) who pushed for the pardon of the FALN terrorists, it is the new heroine of the rabid anti-immigration crowd on FR, hillary, who did.
Witness how many questions varied around Tom Tancredo’s plan where one question is sufficient. It's clear the intent of the poll was to try to minimize the number of Freepers that are anti-illegal immigration.
The bad news for you is that 80.2% of the respondents want ALL Illegal Aliens to go back to Mexico under any proposed guest worker program or want no guest worker program at all. This doesn’t play well towards your CAL position of open borders does it?
Could you give me an example of specific freepers who meet this description?
Look at some of the statements that have been made about Gonzales, Garza, and Martinez.
Al Gonzalez is a gun-grabbing pu$$y, so of course he's going to catch some flack on a "far right" forum.
Why do you think Hillary is anti-immigration? Because she told you she is anti-immigration?
Do you believe her?
I don't.
LOL......Oh that poll.
Guess you forgot to inform readers that of the sixty percent you claim, FIFTY percent of FReepers would expect guest workers to GO HOME & apply from their country origin.
Notice only some EIGHT percent approve of GWB's 'proposal' which presumably allows the law breakers to remain in the US & become instant 'guest workers'.
Member Opinion
I would approve of a guest worker program if it requires illegals to go home first and apply for entry 27.0% 944
I would not approve of a guest worker program of any kind 20.5% 718
I would approve of a guest worker plan similar to Tancredo's 15.2% 531
I approve of the president's guest worker plan as is or with minor changes 8.8% 308
I might approve of a compromise guest worker program with some of Tancredo's ideas incorporated 8.5% 298
I don't like the wording of this poll and decline to participate 7.6% 266
Immigration from Mexico should not be allowed under any circumstances 7.6% 264
Undecided, other, pass 4.8% 167
100.0% 3,496
Do you consider yourself to be anti-illegal immigration?
I don't
I also don't believe her, but many on FR(especially the one issue immigration fanatics) do.
This is a link to a very useful ACLU card; read it and hit the next link to download the .pdf...two copies...FRee.
The way I see it, if the police aren't stopping them on the border, the police will soon be stopping everyone, everywhere here in this country.
Who are some of those freepers? They must be pretty darned gullible.
There are a lot more Hispanic citizens in the country who don't like illegal aliens coming here.
Anyhting remotely good that the ACLU does is negated by the fact that they are "neutral" on the most important civil right of all, the RKBA. You should bring this up at your local level.
How many? Name them.
This one is more appropriately worded for the subject at hand.

See for yourself, from the below link.
See reply #117.
Zero chance at my home chapter (NY) but I've seen some interesting movement in TX, NM & WI.
My mother is Catholic, I was baptized Catholic, and I am not anti-Catholic.
You called me racist for no good reason and I think you should apologize.
