The polling data that I see posted here says something different.
Who did the poll?
What were the questions like?
How were they phrased?
Do you believe most of these illegal aliens would go home all by themselves, if we enforced our existing laws against illegal immigration, fined and jailed their employers, threw them all off Welfare and Food Stamps and kicked their illegal alien rear ends out of our schools?
If Republican pollsters asked that question, the answer would be a resounding 'YES!!!' from a majority of Democrats and Republicans alike that are legal, tax paying, U.S. citizens.
Even Newt believes this now. I heard him say it on Fox a couple days ago.
Well, Ben ... let's see your "polling data".
You seem more concerned that you think the US has "inadequate" immigration quotas (God only knows if that's according to you or to some pol running for office).
