Zogby Post-Election Poll Reveals No Mandate for Illegal Alien Amnesty
Market Watch ^ | Nov. 10, 2008 | Zogby/Market Watch

Posted on 11/12/2008 9:42:22 AM PST by AuntB

/PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- A nationwide survey of actual voters reveals that Americans strongly support immigration enforcement, and that less than one-third of Obama voters favor granting amnesty to illegal aliens. The poll conducted by Zogby International on behalf of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) on November 5 and 6 also found that a decisive majority of voters believe that an illegal alien amnesty would "further harm the interests of struggling American workers."

Among the key findings of the poll are:

-- Only 32% of Obama voters considered his support for amnesty as a factor in their decisions to vote for him. 67% said it was either not a factor at all, or they voted for Obama in spite of his stance on amnesty.

-- 60% of voters said reducing illegal immigration and cracking down on employers who hire them is important to them, while only 21% supported "legalizing or creating a pathway to citizenship" for illega; aliens.

-- 57% of voters stated that amnesty would harm American workers and further strain public resources, while only 26% believe amnesty would aid economic recovery and ease public burdens.

Well there you have it. It’s a mandate. Expect Obama to call Harry Reid and prepare the final legislation for passage.

No need for hearings or debate. Straight to vote.

IF the GOP keeps moving left on this issue, they can count on losing more elections.

I hope you’re being sarcastic.

“and that less than one-third of Obama voters favor granting amnesty to illegal aliens. “

Too many people ignore reality when it comes to the amnesty issue. The last time we fought it, we defeated it with the help of liberals and democrats and it looks many of them will be on our side again.

Doesn’t matter anyway. Just like ChiFi (Dianne Feinstein) said she’d recevied almost 90,000 calls against the bailout, but was going to vote for it anyway. With the exception of some real conservatives, our Congress is mostly like the Roman Senate scene in History of the World Part 1.

I agree, and we can do it again. This is the one issue that has overlapped party and ideology, despite the fact that NEITHER party leadership has been on the right side of the issue. The economy may well give the new administration a reason to back off amnesty.

AS AM I--AND I'M FRANKLY FED UP with the ones willing to lie down for a trampling defeat!

Folks, if you haven't joined FAIR and NumbersUSA, if you haven't written those nasty racist organizations (LaRaza and the like), now is the time to put away the whining and start the writing campaign--to your reps, to the media, to the incoming prez, to the foul-mouthed demonstrators come Jan. 21.
