It's garbage and we all know it.
Hmmmm NO I won't say it. I did not say a thing. ;)
No doubt this bogus AP poll was taken from interviews with msm journalists, Democrat voter registrars, and people who live in gated communities in $500,000+ homes. The rest of us know better.
Such a shallow attempt to "categorize" and split the public. So, I guess if you want the illegals gone, then you must just be an "old , stupid, conservative."
Two words for this 'poll' - Bull sh*t
LOL! Live by polls, die by polls.
i demand cheap lettuce
If you believe these polls you are an idiot!ALL other polls show totally the opposite to be true.Anyone who believes this rotten and arrogant culture should stay in this country is a traitor and is demeaning what it is to be a REAL AMERICAN.The republicans are going to lose control of congress in the next election.
What?!? I know of no one who wants any part of a guest-worker program or anything similar.
No one I know wants them to stay!
"A slim majority ..."
Yep. Right, AP. Sure. I'll buy that. *Smirk*
I just love how the AP tries to make it seems like if you're against amnesty you're old, uneducated and conservative, heck the AP went out of their way to do it. The other polls I've seen tell me this one is complete garbage.
It really doesn't matter either way because "the governing class" - of both parties - doesn't give a tin damn what the people want. Bush won a second term and now it's "Screw You" as far as the Republicans are concerned. A bitter lesson for me, but they'll never get my vote again.
Did they take this survey on the streets of protesting mexicans?
I want them to go home, too, and re-enter only when they have legal permission to do so.
BUT . . . HOW?
As a realist, I don't know how on earth this can be accomplished. Suppose we seal the borders, tight, so that continued entry is not an issue. Even then, I see no workable way to round up the illegals who are here, other than offering minimal amnesty as a "carrot" to get them to come forward.
The everyday hard-working Mexican will do that. (I'm in Texas, and yes, most are plain old poor folks. I know some of them.) The bad guys will remain in the shadows.
I think this may be what the powers in Washington have come to realize. If we want the problem fixed, the answer is probably not going to be ideal.
But we have to do something, even if it means compromise and imperfection, because what we have now is just plain rotten.
Yet MSM another attempt to create support for their position through rigged polls. Tell the majority that their position is not what they thought it was. They pull the same BS on issues like gay marriage. Hasn't worked there--won't work here. I have a direct dial to my congressman and senators.
Let everybody in that "slim majority" take into their home just ONE illegal and his family.
This poll is disinformation and propaganda. The rats who want amnesty and cheap workers are trying to hose us.
Alert to all FReepers! You know the soft on immigration / borders bill the Senate is trying to ram down our throats is a bad bill.
Now is the time to tell your Senators and House members we won't let a bill that weakens borders and rewards law breakers with amnesty stand. Write, call and email them. Tell them you won't contribute to the party and will remember their back stabbing at voting time.
Protecting our citizenship and legal immigration is as important as continuing the war on terror. A loss either way is a threat to the Republic.
