“Did you consider reading the article at the top of the thread?”

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.

Your use of terms "didn't mention qualifiers", "conveniently ignored", and "nothing but a lie" is another indication that you are poorly informed.

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.
