An anti-illegal immigrant sentiment is taking hold in the Houston region, according to a new Rice University survey showing that most white residents in Fort Bend, Galveston and Montgomery counties favor punishing employers who hire undocumented workers.
The survey, released Thursday, reflects how contentious the illegal immigration debate has become and provides a fresh glimpse into regional attitudes about a subject that's increasingly becoming a major presidential election issue.

“And the other 41%?”
Illegals or employers that hire them.
Here’s my standard post. We can do something about Illegal immigration.
RICO —Citizen Recourse
Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to obtain injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). The pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of two or more of the listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any individual legal entity, or a group of individuals who are not a legal entity but are associated in fact, and can include nonprofit associations.
Here’s what I’ve been pushing: it’s time to file Racketeering, Influencing, and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuits.
RICO lawyers could turn it around in a few years and MAKE MONEY at the same time. I’m surprised they haven’t done it already.
In the absence of enforcement, we can get the word out in the meantime that there is money to be made in filing RICO lawsuits against employers who hire illegal aliens.
Employers would have no trouble shutting down the border if they could get sued by someone under the RICO statutes for hiring these people in the first place. The next time an illegal alien kills someone in a drunk driving accident or somesuch thing, I’m going to point out that the victim’s family might be able to seek compensation from the employer under these statutes in the hopes that it would catch on. If this did catch on, would see such a swift backlash against illegal immigration that no employer would go near these people and they’ll all simply want to go back home.
Hunter is the best candidate on Immigration.

Hunter’s criticism of Thompson over this issue is well aimed. We need someone in the white house who isn’t a johnny-come-lately on this issue.

“62% agreed that illegal immigrants should be granted citizenship”
...62% of what group? Show the source URL, please.
Did you consider reading the article at the top of the thread?
"Can I help you find something, young man (whose wrists are disconcertingly inflexible)?"
"I'm looking for the latest Ann Coulter book."
She visibly paled, then took on a reddish cast. "We keep those on that shelf over there", she squeaked while simultaneously pointing and backing away. True story.
What on earth are you talking about?
The Brits are tolerated only because of close blood ties within families and the fact they speak passable English from time to time.
Funny. I still don't know what your point is.
Read “W”’s words. That’s what I’m responding to.
Okay. I still don't get it. W says nothing about men in dresses...
Doing drag is a big thing on their TV shows.
Strong cultures always win out in the end. Weak cultures die out. That is how it works in the real world. Why worry?
Yes, in fact, I did. But your quote didn’t mention the qualifiers they stated that you conveniently ignored in your statement, like the requirement that they speak English and have no criminal records. The fact is that your statement as written in your post is nothing but a lie, as proven by the article to which you refer.
All of these polls thru-out the past few years include the qualifiers. Additionally, all the legislation that has been considered includes the qualifiers.
The qualifiers are automatically assumed to be part of it.
When was the last time you heard someone say the sun is rising in the east? Nobody uses the qualifier "in the east" because everyone knows the where the sun rises.
There are other accepted qualifiers that I didn't mention and that you are not aware of.
The polling percentages vary by state. The percent supporting amnesty will be higher in California than in Georgia.
Democrats support amnesty in higher percentages than Republicans.
Likewise, hispanics support amnesty more than whites.
Another accepted qualifier is deportation. While the poll mentioned in this article indicates that 48% of GOP respondents support amnesty, it doesn't mention that about 30% of GOP respondents support mass deportations. While the 30% may vary(25%-33%) thru time and place, all of the polls indicate that a significant number of GOPers consistently support deportation. Consistently enough to be an accepted qualifier.
