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.

First of all,I think the story’s crap.Secondly I don’t want a compromise bill,I want a fence built and illegal immigrants deported when they are caught !!!

I would be encouraged if they enforced our existing immigration laws instead of neglecting to enforce them. Why does anyone think they will enforce anymore immigrant related laws if they don't do so with the immigration laws currently on the books?

This is a push poll, pure and simple.

Re-word the questions and you will get a strong majority who would be in favor of creating situations to encourage illegals to self-deport. In polls such as this one, there usually is a false dichotomy presented between amnesty and mass deportation, when a clear middle path is available.
