Sixty-nine percent (69%) of voters would favor an approach that focuses exclusively on exclusively on securing the border and reducing illegal immigration.

Prove that you can enforce the law; then we’ll talk about some kind of reform. As it stands right now, the only thing that the government has a track record of enforcing in this bill is the amnesty part.

Please. What kind of manufactured polling are we going to see now? I don't even want to hear the questions from this poll. We can expect to see tortured "polls" coming out now saying whatever combination of "facts" is necessary to tell the Senators to do whatever they want to do. Par for the course.
If you don't like the answer, just keep changing the question until you hear what you want to hear.

The following is a repeat of what I've posted on other immigration threads, but I think it's important:
I just got a note from grassfire.org, saying that IT ISN'T DEAD YET! Partial text follows:
"I was just informed that the back-room plan is currently underway to bring Bush-Kennedy back and get it quickly passed through the Senate. I call it "amendments for amnesty."
Here's what's happening.
President Bush and the Amnesty Republicans are attempting to convince about a dozen Republicans to support "cloture" on Bush-Kennedy in exchange for a commitment that a set list of amendments will be considered -- thus, "amendments for amnesty."
Also, Bush and the amnesty leaders are strong-arming conservatives into accepting the "amendments for amnesty" deal or face being banished into Senate oblivion.
Amnesty Republicans have already submitted their list of amendments to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Once the "amendments for amnesty" deal is finalized between Reid and the Republicans, the bill will be quickly brought back to the floor. The amendments will be defeated and amnesty passed."

Now, however, just 11% of Likely GOP Primary Voters name McCain as their top choice. In his home state of Arizona, McCain is viewed favorably by just 47% of voters SOME IS SERIOUSLY DELUDING THEMSELVES.
I'm in Arizona, and since this mess started--I don't know ANYONE who would vote for McCain.

If this had not been tried before it might be different. We offered amnesty once but did nothing about our borders. Now we have the ones that didn’t bother to get legal the first time and the second wave. We need to stop more from coming in before dealing with the ones already here. Why is that so hard for them to understand? They should acknowledge our concerns and take this one step at a time. By refusing to do so, I have concerns that they have no intention of securing our borders.

I still do occasionally, but I’ve never seen anybody as politically tone-deaf as him in my life.

>>>Just 30% would favor legislation that focused exclusively on legalizing the status of undocumented workers already living in the United States. <<<
I’m frankly pretty astonished by the number of people who actually favor the above nonsense.

So it seems they will be done....well done!

"...exclusively on legalizing the status of undocumented workers already living in the United States.
Well, your sampling very adeptly highlights the point I was making earlier. Look at the wording here! "undocumented workers already living in the United States"???!!!
Is that a joke? If the question said "illegal criminals stealing jobs and lowering your wages" then 0% of people would support their legal inclusion in our society.
So they twist the wording around in a great number of illegitimate ways to get the answers they want people to say, even though saying "yes" to just anything doesn't mean squat.
I think "polls" these days mean next to nothing at all, and are being used almost exclusively for propaganda and manipulation.

I have tons of liberals in the family, and no one likes it. Problem is, they aren’t blaming the dem....they’re blaming Bush...
Not that he deserves a pat on his back; but he depends on dems to get this through, and they’re throroughly on the side of amnesty. I’m all for a replacement of Bush and the democrats in congress....I’d say that’d be fair. : )

Not a big Perry fan, but he's the only one with hair, and we don't elect bald presidents.

Perry of Texas? you have to be kidding. That guy is a joke. He has no more clue about the Constitution than Paris Hilton. Hardly anyone running for President understands the anger of the American worker. We are at the precipice and I can’t see how these utterly vile, evil, corrupt rulers in Washington will do anything that will save this Republic. I despise them all.
