RE your post #68:
You'll notice that most of those polls use the word "immigration" rather than "illegal aliens" or "illegal immigration". Also, if any of those polls discussed the actual issues at hand (such as the projected $500,000,000,000.00 price tag for "comprehensive reform" over the next decade), you would see the numbers change radically.
Finally, Congress threw out the Senate plan because of OVERWHELMING resistance against it... that resistance came from the voters.
Spin it all you want. What the polls show is that most Americans wanted a comprehensive package that permitted those already here to stay. I also have about twenty more polls showing much the same thing. Most Americans know you cannot find and deport 20 million illegals.

Yep. If it were true. But of course, we know that the major part of the price tag will be what you want anyway, which is a completely secure border, with a 50 foot high wall and ten immigration agents every 100 feet. Then, of course, finding, charging, jailing and ultimately deporting 20 million felons is the rest of the cost.

So all the polls were wrong? So the Democrats who overwhelmingly favored the Senate bill were not elected yesterday?
