Time poll: half of Americans favor deporting all illegal immigrants back to their home countries
Instapundit/Time ^ | 1/29/05

Via Instapundit:

Almost two-thirds of Americans (63%) consider illegal immigration a “very serious” or “extremely serious” problem in the United States, according to a TIME Poll. The majority (74%) believes the U.S. is not doing enough to secure its borders. . . .

TIME’s Poll shows that half (50%) of Americans favor deporting all illegal immigrants back to their home countries (45% oppose). Three-in-four (76%) favor allowing illegal immigrants in the U.S. to earn citizenship if they learn English, have a job and pay taxes. . . . Meanwhile 700,000 undocumented immigrants from around the world continue to enter the U.S. each year, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.

When you "git her done", don't forget to let us know! Looking forward to reading it, even though I know my blood pressure will hit the roof!

"Ask how many are in favor of random ICE raids on all businesses? How many are in favor of ICE agents randomly barging into the work place, randomly detaining people that they see, demanding identification of these randomly detained employees so that they may crosscheck their id's against employer I-9 forms?"

Employers that operate legally wouldn't care, if employees object to hell with them, they don't count!

I say this as an employer who was forced out of business after 56 years by scum that should be in prison hiring illegals.

Any employee that bitched about the way thing were being run was fired.

My car salesman brother says they get caught all the time using false docs to try to buy a vehicle.

There's a woman in Vista that worked for DMV for 26 years that is helping illegals register their cars without insurance by transfering ownership every December and avoiding the proof of insurance.

She is making over $100k/year and has informed DMV of exactly what she is doing and how and they won't do anything about it.

The entire government in California is totally corrupt, including the low level employees.

My sis in law works for CA social services, and she says that document fraud is rampant, and that it's a well known fact that MANY illegals are collecting every freebie they can get away with...

What documents does CA now require?

I believe there is a qualifier that basically states they are here under the full jurisdiction of the US Constitution which can be interpreted that as progeny of law breakers they are not entitled to citizenship.

Also offspring of diplomats born here are not subject to automatic citizenship.

That's not correct. Neither Congress or courts have interpreted it that way.

Offspring of diplomats is totally different.

Yes, I understand your point. But the question is really how many people is this country want their government conducting the above mentioned raids?

My cousin Cindy and her husband work for DMV in the St. of California. That statement offends me.

"I'm a SW freak"

People of your illegal loving ilk don't deserve an answer.

I'm a SW freak says it all.

Some in Congress have INTERPRETED it that way, just not the majority. Maybe they are just waiting for one of those mandates. After all slavery at one time was interpreted to have a constitutional basis.

I don't know if your a fruit and or a dingbat but your name sure fits!

Why? B/c I'm in favor of protecting our borders?

You call me a fruit and a dingbat but don't utter a word as to why. Whatever.

Start testing it in Court. Good luck! Until then, your point is unproven.

You called yourself that, not me.

Everything you've posted says that you don't believe in defending the borders or if you do it's just to stop terrorists which I consider a minor problem compared to the illegial aliens.
