If you read the entire article, you can see they left out the part about criminal behavior in the first section, and included it further down the page that people may not reach.

If a senate bill was passed that excluded felons from amnesty, I think most Freepers would be more encouraged....but the Cornyn amendment that did exactly that was defeated just last week.

[Wheee The People]

This American doesn’t favor that.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Not This American, dammit!

What a steaming pile of bovine excrement.

In other words, Americans would be in favor of it *if* certain things occurred which will not in fact occur, no matter what the text of the law.

Bull.

A strong majority of Americans — including nearly two-thirds of Republicans — favors allowing illegal immigrants to become citizens if they pay fines, learn English and meet other requirements, a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.

Hey, LA Times. You expect us to believe this? This is really clumsy propaganda. You can do much better.

[Recovering_Democrat]

We TRIED THIS 21 years ago...did the poll mention that??!!?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

They never asked me!

I don’t believe any LA Times/Bloomberg or CBS/NY Times Poll.

[Choose Ye This Day]

What makes the L.A. Slimes believe that illegals are even remotely interested in becoming citizens?

They come here to make triple or quadruple what they were making back home. They want to work, send money home, save a bunch up, and go home after a few years of leeching off our system, and live an upper-middle class lifestyle.

That’s why they have zero desire to learn English or assimilate; it’s also why they won’t want to pay fines and jump through all the hoops of the bill. As long as there’s no real border security and no real employer enforcement, there is no incentive for illegals to change their standard operating procedure.

They are willing to take jobs that our people aren't interested in, and I think this helps the economy

They only take those jobs because they are willing to work for peanuts to avoid being turned in to ICE. Make them legal and they will demand better wages or will move on to jobs that Americans ARE willing to do.

[The Sons of Liberty]

A strong majority of Americans — including nearly two-thirds of Republicans — favors allowing illegal immigrants to become citizens if they pay fines, learn English and meet other requirements,

I think the "strong majority" is made of of people named Jose, Maria, Pablo, Miguel, etc. I am very skeptical that most Americans want the mobs of illegals here! They want the laws enforced and the illegals deported!

[VeniVidiVici]

LA Times? They wouldn’t be biased, would they? Nahhhhhh.

[Neu Pragmatist]

I wonder if most Americans favor this ?

BS - 1. They all broke the law coming here in the first place.

2. If passed all it does is set up the next wave of illegals and the next and the next.

I favor the Eisenhower option.

Back in the 60’s and 70’s I lived and worked in multiple countries in Asia, the ME and Europe - the thought of even overstaying my visas never entered my mind.
