No
Notice that 51% Democrats already support amnesty. This will grow and this whole mess will become one of the divide issues between liberals and conservatives.
Nope.
Most do not support amnesty?
What if all Americans heard their leader say on CNN that they are shutting down all our ports, threatening the security of our PORTS people!
Would all Americans demand they never get amnesty than? Never be allowed citizenship than?
Well as I said on CNN Lou Dobbs tonight thats exactly what they threatened and port security was told and they are increasing security.
Pick and choose the polls you like
Sounds to me like the truth lies somewhere closer to 75% against.
These so-called polls have been all over the map.
The reason amnesty doesn't stem the tide of illegal immigrants is that it encourages immigrants to believe amnesty will someday be offerred to them, Duh!
Documentation and fingerprint; then welcome to the U.S. We all are immigrants. Keep out those who are enemies. Mexico is a friendly neighbor, let's not forget. People are wanting to better themselves, God made plenty for everybody.

what this tells me is that our side has to keep this as the focus - don't get bogged down in this "make it a felony" stuff.
If today they are legal and yesterday they were illegal then something happened in between, that something is called amnesty.
Want to guess whether or not they decide that the questions were "unfair," "biased," "slanted," "too many Red Necks involved," or some other kind of "Hate Speech."
I'm Heading for Mexico
Dear President Bush:
I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family,and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.
I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports,immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.
So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
Free medical care for my entire family.
English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
All government forms need to be printed in English.
I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.
Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.
In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.
I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes,and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.
Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Holy crap! This is great news!
"Among self-identified Democrats nationwide, 51 percent favor amnesty, while 29 percent oppose it. Another 20 percent said they are unsure on the issue. Among self-identified Republicans participating in the survey, just 13 percent said they favor amnesty, while 76 percent said they oppose such an offer."
Does anyone else realize what this means? If the GOP gets its fanny in gear and gets a 2008 presidential candidate AGAINST amnesty and FOR border control, depending upon their allegiance to the issue, we could take almost a third of the Rats away--and that almost NEVER happens.
Of course, the GOP will probably run some milquetoast wanna-be-conservative again who is sort of against amnesty and sort of for border control. Que sera.
Most polls show that the majority of Americans don't want to give citizenship amnesty but they also show that most Americans don't want to deport 11 million illegals.
Those are the specifics.
The Zogby poll as represented by NewsMax isn't very specific. In fact it's misleading.
Here's thread for a poll to be freeped at Bill Frist's blog
