It's not just Rasmussen(more polls who hate immigration bill)

It's not just Rasmussen: First Read notes underpublicized results in the latest WSJ-MSNBC poll indicating public dissatisfaction with the immigration "grand bargain"--including disapproval of the very provisions many MSM outlets claim popular support for.

The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal has plenty of numbers suggesting that getting the immigration bill through the Senate -- and then the House -- won't be easy. In it, 46% believe immigration helps more than it hurts, while almost the same amount (44%) think the opposite. In addition, majorities oppose some of the Senate immigration bill's legalization provisions: 64% are against allowing illegal workers to receive an automatic work visa if they pay a fine, and 55% oppose allowing illegal workers apply for permanent residency if they return home to their counties and pay additional fines.

Well the longer this stench is in the air , the more people will smell it , and gag. I find it hard to believe that if any one looks at the highlights of this bills loopholes and giveaways that they could ever support this. Frankly i am disturbed by the willingness of so many to submit .

[Cacique]

This is not over yet. Bush refuses to give up this easily. It's his stubborn character. As I predicted he would try to resurrect it and call it something else. We have to keep our guard up. We need to keep the pressure up. We have no choice but to fight. The oligarchy wants cheap labor and a destruction of the middle class and the millionaire democrats want votes they can count on. A marriage made in HELL.

STAGE TWO is to go after the people who hire illegals. Start giving them fines and arresting them. Just catch ten or 100 of them on the nightly news. The magnet will dry up and most of the 12 million will go home by themselves.

As an addendum, we should anonymously call the IRS, people working "off the books" means taxes ain't being paid. Make anonymous fliers and hang them around the neighborhood, name names. It's time to embarrass these bustards, whether they give to the GOP or Rats, we don't need them.

CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!

Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.

STOP AMNESTY NOW!! WE CAN DO IT!!

The best way to stop Shamnesty

“Well the longer this stench is in the air , the more people will smell it , and gag...”

The more likely the MSM will relent and start talking about the details of the legalization, and its ill effects on the American lower and middle classes - which is what it is designed to do, written by the Chamber of Commerce lawyers with the fig leaf of La Raza to distract elite liberals.

Last year it was better, the MSM IIRC actually had articles, opinion pieces talking about the effects, the Heritage reports, people who argued opposite. This year near silence. I suspect it is because open analysis will harm the Democratic pres. candidtates like Obama and Clinton who have openly embraced the wage depression big business lobbies and taken their money under the elite white rationalization of caring first about foreign others.

But maybe the Left press will fear their false claims of caring about the American people of all colors will be exposed. Haven’t seen it much yet though. Just weird coverage criticizing “critics” for calling Bush’s bill “amnesty”.

Both the Beltway boys have agreed the Senate will pass Immigration “Reform.” They talked like it was a done deal. This was just on — 6:10 PM Saturday June 16

[lone star annie]

They said the same thing three weeks ago. Don’t give up—Keep calling, faxing, etc.

[WashingtonSource]

I’m not giving up. No way.

[Soul Seeker]

They thought Miers would be wearing black robes too. I don’t care what those elitists believe.

Freddie Barnes must be employing illegals at his hacienda, the way he is pushing the amnesty Kool-Aid.

every one but brenda i think on bulls and bears this morning called this woman a racist...I think she was head of mothers against illegal immigration, lives in arizona. they sounded worse then geraldo talking to her. disgusting....elitists...worthless....

[JMJJR]

well, it’s good they don’t listen to the poles and change direction every time the wind does /s

[OKIEDOC]

I have not listened to the Beltway boys.

If they want to suck up to Kennedy and McCaniac then they can do so without my viewer ship.

CNN on Anderson Cooper had a great special on last night deal with Honesty in Government.

Surprisingly they roasted Nancy Peloser and Hairy Read for lying to the voters.

I saw that show,it was great. The show was fair and it was balanced and I’m disappointed Fox News doesn’t do more reporting like Anderson Cooper did last night instead of Bill O’Reilly doing his ridiculous body language segments.

McCain is down to 14%, down from 22% 2 months ago.

Part of the strategy Bush and the amnesty supporters formulated after they failed to get the cloture vote, was to ACT CONFIDENT.

It is a good strategy, on their part. It is meant to demoralize the opposition and make us give up. When I see the proponents of this bill acting confident, I immediately pick up the phone and call a Senator to tell them that I am strongly opposed to the amnesty bill.

If you oppose this amnesty, you are going to have to be strong and settle in for the long battle. If we lose in the Senate, then we start on the House...not that it would hurt to tell your Congressman where you stand right now. Don't let the turkey's get you down...and don't believe they are as confident as they sound.

CNN has been way better than Fox on the immigration issue. I haven’t watched Fox for a month or so.
