I suppose you meant to say "it does not". I suggest you re-read it. Fifty-seven percent (57%) favor a proposal giving all illegal aliens up to three years to leave the United States. After leaving, the illegal aliens would have to get in line and wait their turn for legal entry into the United States.
"Sixty-nine percent (69%) of voters would favor an approach that focuses exclusively on exclusively on securing the border and reducing illegal immigration. Support for the enforcement only approach comes from 84% of Republicans, 55% of Democrats, and 69% of those not affiliated with either major party.
The nomination of McCain and Obama; however, do show they support legalization.
Pure sophistry. Most Reps are against amnesty. Take a look at Congressional votes on the subjecti. McCain became the presumptive nominee of the party with 31% of the primary vote thanks to winner-take-all and open primaries. He was not the choice of the majority of Reps for President.
While the open border crowd likes to point to a couple of big names of pro border control reps (Hayworth, Allen) who lost in the last election as evidence of public opinion, fact is border control won in the last election.
My former pro amnesty republican congressman (Joe Schwarz) lost to an anti amnesty conservative (Tim Walberg). The same story was repeated across the nation. In some cases pro border control democrats took the seat of open border republicans. Lots of people don’t like to hear it but we actually manage to squeeze some good pro control votes out of Debbie Stabenow here in Michigan.
Simply stated, the open border crowd tends to lie at every opportunity.
