SNIP a Zogby poll released Tuesday found 61 percent of likely American voters felt less sympathetic to the plight of illegal immigrants after seeing the first round of demonstrations, including the massive, Mexican-flag-waving protest in Los Angeles on March 25.
Lungren, who supported the House immigration bill passed last year but also favors a guest worker or limited residency component, said the size of the turnouts at recent demonstrations cuts both ways: "It shows strong support from some to grant legalized status, and on the other hand you have people saying, 'Look how large that number is, we don't dare do it!'

The rallies in Dallas, TX have been nonstop, with school board trustees essentially telling kids to walk out for a week. THen you watch them play in the water fountain and walk counter to traffic - TO MAKE US SYMPATHETIC!
1. They are acting stupid. Which makes me wonder where the education dollars are going.
2. If there are this many students with illegal parents, this shows why our schools are overcrowded.
We don't have to break up families when we deport them. Send the parents AND AMERICAN BORN CHILDREN to the homeland. THe kids can come back when they're 18, and maybe have learned something other than marching in the street.
I believe that the American citizens are in shock that our government has allowed our country to be over run by these law breakers. Call them felons or what ever. Our government has failed us at a time when our manufacturing jobs have been sent to China, when our technical jobs are being sent to India, we have so few Jobs, and Americans have no where else to go. No other nation will allow us to flood them and take their jobs. No other country has such fools running it. God help us all!
Well said !!!
As added emphasis to his point, Krauthammer yesterday said the recent demonstrations is the movements 'COMING OUT PARTY' and the implications of power simmering below the surface.
With commie groups behind some of these protests should be warning enough in itself!
People I know, even those who are normally apolitical, are apoplectic at the thought of an amnesty. I don't know anyone who thinks amnesty and open borders are good ideas. I'm also noticing a lot more American flags flying in my neighborhood and on cars.
Another poll states the obvious.
too true.
Fence sitter to fence builder....I hope there are millions more like you!
I hope even Democrats will see the problem and throw some of their bumbs out!
"Now all these protesting clowns have to do is stage another rally and wave American flags. All will be forgiven."
Done - it's scheduled for May 19.
