A new Zogby International poll shows that Florida voters think that illegal immigration is hurting the Sunshine State by an overwhelming margin. A new FAIR study confirms the poll, finding that illegal immigration costs Florida taxpayers $3.8 billion annually, which is double from 2005.
The Zogby poll found that 71.3 percent of Florida voters believe that immigration has a negative impact on the state and 83.5 percent believe that illegal immigration has a negative impact on the state budget.

If we can just grant amnesty, they won’t be illegal.
Besides, Florida has already has its hands full with liberal NErs (who dominate the Bagel Belt of Palm Beach and Broward Counties, to say nothing of coastal Miami-Dade) and the Puerto Ricans in the Orlando area, to say nothing of all of the ex-cons and child molesters who come down to the Sunshine state for a "new life."
I’m not good at math, but doesn’t this imply that around twelve percent of Floridians believe illegal immigration is good or neutral for the state but bad for the state budget? Is this one of those Floriduh/only in FL situations?
Wow. How did Crist, along with the Democrats and RINOs, allow this information to surface?
Is there any data in FL that shows: that if they deported all illegal aliens, how much their unemployment and cost of government would be affected. Any hard numbers???
I went to DCFS in Florida once because of a housefire and they were giving us a certificate for Red Cross to help with clothes until we could get back home (we were staying with a friend). I saw more workers there speaking spanish than English. I also saw the paper in which one lady’s food stamp amount was written. In 1993 it was $676.
A MONTH!
71% of Floridians is meaningless.
What is more important is that 99% of Democrats and 42% of Republicans (RINOs) in political office, and 100% of the Chamber of Commerce think that illegal immigrants are good for the country and really good for their wallets.
The people should have no say in this matter. It is the exclusive right of politicians to decide on illegal aliens in the US. The rest of you just shut up.
Fortunately, our great President Obama will give the 40 million illegals (the real number, not 12 million) citizenship in the next year or so, and all of this debate will be over.

we are going to have to flat out fight amnesty tooth and nail with calls and numbersusa.com. During the last amnesty, a lot more Americans were employed. Seniors are going to get healthcare and other things rationed in favor of illegals.
This is exactly what happene din the UK with the left, Saudis (Muslim Brotherhood) and other Muslims did and are doing with the Islamification of the UK.
I’ve said for some time, this is an election winning issue just waiting to happen.
Even my lib friends can’t stand illegal immigration
Florida’s electoral votes went to Obama in November.
Nancy Pelosi, Obama and hispanic activist organizations have decreed this will happen and no matter what taxpaying citizens say negatively about it, it will be passed just like the stealthy Stimulus Bill. What's more important to pandering politicians after all, political contributions and pledges of new potential voters to their campaign or doing the right thing for their consituents?
McCain was pro-amnesty.
McCain was pro-amnesty.
Nevertheless, illegal immigration was not a campaign issue because of McCain’s candidacy. The GOP left that one on the table.
