Unfortunately, I am in the minority:

Yes 8% 707 votes

No 92% 8379 votes

Total: 9086 votes

Lucky for me, the U.S. Senate is not so hot-headed and this QuickVote is not scientific and reflects the opinions of only those Internet users who have chosen to participate. The results cannot be assumed to represent the opinions of Internet users in general, nor the public as a whole. The QuickVote sponsor is not responsible for content, functionality or the opinions expressed therein ; )

Good point. Perhaps these polling results published in a recent WaTimes article might convince you otherwise:

National polling data could not be more emphatic — and has been so for decades. Gallup Poll (March 27) finds 80 percent of the public wants the federal government to get tougher on illegal immigration. A Quinnipiac University Poll (March 3) finds 62 percent oppose making it easier for illegals to become citizens (72 percent in that poll don't even want illegals to be permitted to have driver's licenses). Time Magazine's recent poll (Jan. 24-26) found 75 percent favor "major penalties" on employers of illegals, 70 percent believe illegals increase the likelihood of terrorism and 57 percent would use military force at the Mexican-American border.

An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll (March 10-13) found 59 percent opposing a guest-worker proposal, and 71 percent would more likely vote for a congressional candidate who would tighten immigration controls.

An IQ Research poll (March 10) found 92 percent saying that securing the U.S. border should be a top priority of the White House and Congress.

Yet, according to a National Journal survey of Congress, 73 percent of Republican and 77 percent of Democratic congressmen and senators say they would support guest-worker legislation.

Yep, I guess you're right - we're all Internet hotheads.

But, how do you explain these other polls?

Did you ever stop to think that there's no fundamental reason why Mexicans should get "preference" in this amnesty proposal?

Why not 5 million Hindu engineers, or 2 million Pakistani accountants?
