Polls: Citizens losing sympathy for Illegal Immigrants

Polls: Citizens losing sympathy for illegal immigrants By Laura Crimaldi Monday, May 1, 2006

New national polls show Americans are feeling less sympathy toward undocumented workers and have serious doubts the government can fix the country’s massive immigration problem. Recent Zogby International polls show the immigration protests in March left three in five adults feeling less compassionate toward undocumented workers. Even 46 percent of the Hispanic respondents said they are less likely to be sympathetic to the cause of immigrants as a result of the protests. The Zogby poll also shows 18 percent of respondents believe Congress and President Bush will not come up with a solution to the problem of undocumented workers. The survey included 7,967 respondents nationwide and was conducted between March 31 and April 3. A separate poll conducted by Harris Interactive shows a majority of Americans favor an immigration policy that would grant special treatment to the children and spouses of U.S. citizens, with 73 percent of those polled giving the thumbs-up to children and 67 percent giving preference to spouses. That poll reached 2,377 U.S. adults who were surveyed online between April 11 and 17. Fluency in English and job skills topped the list of factors the majority of Harris poll respondents want the government to weigh in determining whether an immigrant can enter this country, the poll results said.

Hey folks, just saw these 2 posts at SteinReport.com, under the article dated May 02, 2006 "Tancredo Says Protests Triggering Backlash"...here is the 1st post:

"As a veteran of the U.S. Army from 1990-1994, I can honestly tell you what is coming. If what you have seen so far has frightened you, the next phase of what you are about to see will frighten you literally to death - into oblivion.

I've seen the hatred for the United States. As a member of various military intelligence battalions during the 1990's I've heard my share of planned takeovers of all lands within the continental United States of America!!

One such group is La Raza and their pressure to seize our border states for the creation of a "New Mestizo Nation" called Aztlan.

If you truly want this country spared, I have developed a form letter for you and as many other people as you can get to send it to Senators Tancredo and Lott, as well as to your own Congressmen and Senators.

Our Congress and Senate need an ultimatum from the people. Visit the following link which will take you to my forum post. The post is the letter I am asking MILLIONS to send in!

This isn't like any other letter you have seen. This is the ultimatum which should give your representatives nightmares at night for not heeding the desires of the people sooner.

Pro Patri Vigilans!

Death to Aztlan!!

So, what do you folks think of this comment at SteinReport.com? Here is the 2nd post:

"I can not believe what is happening to our country.
I work in an underserved area as a physician and I know first hand the attitude of many illegal immigrants in this country. They have no respect for this nation and it's people. Please America, stop this. Our government seems to not care about us. Please stand up!
