Most people in the United States think illegal immigration is a serious problem. A solid majority oppose making it easier for illegal immigrants to become legal workers or citizens.
Some findings in recent polling:
Some 59 percent say they oppose allowing illegal immigrants to apply for legal, temporary-worker status, an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll found.
More than six in 10, 62 percent, say they oppose making it easier for illegal immigrants to become citizens, according to a Quinnipiac University poll. Nine in 10 in that poll say they consider immigration to be a serious problem - with 57 percent of those polled saying very serious.
Three-fourths say the United States is not doing enough along its borders to keep illegal immigrants out, a Time Magazine poll found. The NBC-WSJ poll was taken in March, Quinnipiac in February and Time in January. The NBC-WSJ and Time polls surveyed about 1,000 adults and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The Quinnipiac poll of 1,892 registered voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
It's Not Xenophobia, It's Xenonausea--It is not Xenophobia. It is Xenonausea. People are sick of having the whole world shoved down their throats at once and being told it tastes like ice cream. They are sick of every street corner and parking lot being filled with criminal aliens waiting to work off the books and outside the laws that are applied so enthusiastically to actual Americans. They are sick of pressing “1” for English. They are sick of being at war with foreign terrorists and simultaneously being economically and demographically bound more tightly to the nations producing these terrorists. They are sick of being told that the world is global or flat or smaller or at their doorstep or all coming for dinner on Tuesday
The Republicans have lost my support. I am through with this party. Spineless idiots who IGNORE THEIR BASE! Including this President....continually ignoring his base!!!! Spending, weak on terror and allowing illegals and terrorists into your country with so-called SWEEPING reform And yes, I will vote for democrats, at least I know where they stand.
And what are the good people of the good old USA going to do about this??
Going to just sit back on your laurels and say oh dear?
Going to let these mexican flag wavers slap your face with their defiant acts against us?
Going to let the turncoat traitors turn over America to socialists, terroists?
Than you will get what you deserve.
Remember three words....WAR on terror!
He's quickly losing my support too. If he (Bush) can be THIS wrong on illegal aliens, the Dubai port deal, spending... well, now I'm wondering if he's wrong on the war.
What are your suggestions?
Why .. because 3 senators on a COMMITTEE voted to pass this draft bill?
I have some suggestions. Prosecute illegal activity. Close our borders until we can get a handle on the influx of illegal immigration. Use our military to handle any rising up of illegals. Did you watch tv over the weekend? They don't care about america or its forefathers....they insult our heritage and history and wave mexican flags. we are doomed if we allow this.
Cancel ALL visas for people coming from terrorist countries....
Never ever insult the american people by saying: "mexicans do jobs americans won't" that is a bunch of BS. I would also fully prosecute this war and finish these countries off by end of may. have you seen the afghans and their islamic law about converting? I thought we brought freedom to them? this war has turned into a marketing scam. we are allowing terrorists into our country.
NO, because not one republican besides trancedo has the balls to listen to their base. like the democrats ignore their "black" base....repubs ignore their "conservative base"
Sooner or later it's going to come down to only one option. The 2nd Amendment! After decades of government inaction, it will be all that's left.
This is a fight for America now! It seems like we are under attack by those that mean harm to us because like criminals they sneak in and hide, and than come out of the shadows long enough to demonstrate and take over our streets and DEMAND what they want.
We trusted our politicians to take care of this crisis instead they cave in to them what are we supposed to do?
Oh, I totally agree with you but what are your suggestions for forcing this to happen? I think the point of the thread is that there are too many RINO's to accomplish this.
We're screwed. Actually, this should have been "nipped in the bud" when Reagan signed his legislation many, many years ago. I remember the outrage at that time but Reagan sold us a bill of goods at that time and now I think it's too late.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but please shut the h*** up. Thank you.
Where would you suggest putting 11 million illegals in a current system where two million convicts are said to be a 98 percent prison saturation?
I could answer for BT on your question. If you think this is about illegal immigration alone, you have not been watching the senate for several years. The RINO Party reins supreme in the senate. It was 4 senators by the way and not 3.
