"Current info is that by an overwhelmomng majority, most Republicans REJECT the Senate Immigration Bill, and the message is getting through loud and clear to returning Republican congressmen. That's what counts."

Not true according to most of the latest polls. This might be of interest...

Americans, Republicans, Conservatives Support Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Same drive-by media "polls". They must have conducted their polls from the same place the WaPo conducted theirs.

Read this from my link, which is the REAL thoughts of Republicans on the ground, as expressed to Republican congressmen:


"The Post's article cites poll's that supposedly show strong support for the administration's plan, but, as one House member says, "they must not be polling anyone in [my] District."

Now that is what counts.
Real constituents telling their Republican congressmen what they think of the evil Senate immigration Bill, trumps drive-by media polls anyday. How many votes does the drive-by media have?.

From your link:

Americans, Republicans, and conservative Republicans actually support comprehensive immigration reform, and they will not take it lightly if the enforcement-only crowd burns down the bill, rather than acquiesce in creating a path to citizenship for the illegals already here -- as supported by 80% of Americans and over 75% of Republicans.

This matches a Gallup poll from earlier in the month.

I guess it's just not true that most voters, indeed, most Republicans, support an "enforcement only" approach.

And "no bill" could cost the GOP the House.
