Opponents of immigration reform seized on House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s shocking primary defeat Tuesday night as a clear referendum against a sweeping overhaul – particularly one that includes so-called “amnesty” for undocumented immigrants.
Not so fast – at least according to one new poll.
Democrats are making the case that it was Cantor himself – not immigration – that dealt a powerful blow to the one-time rising Republican star’s political career. And they are releasing new data on Wednesday to back up their argument.
About 72 percent of registered voters in Cantor’s district polled on Tuesday said they either “strongly” or “somewhat” support immigration reform that would secure the borders, block employers from hiring those here illegally, and allow undocumented residents without criminal backgrounds to gain legal status – three key tenets of an overhaul, according to a poll by the left-leaning firm Public Policy Polling and commissioned by the liberal advocacy group Americans United for Change.

See how fast the media came up with that meme? It is almost as if they are members of the Obama cult...
oh wait....
And, of course, we should all believe whatever the Dims are peddling.
SEUNG DIN WONG !!
Oh, wait.......is this the same polling that showed Cantor AHEAD by 34 points? (cackle)
"Eric, I'm glad you came to the amnesty strategy meeting w/ Nancy and me."
That's probably one of them. Another is:
Do you support yankng nursing anchor babies from their mother's breast, throwing them in the street to starve, and deporting the illegal mothers?
Stopped reading right after I read what I had already suspected.
I believe current law address well all three points. Only #3 requires applying for permanent residency (green Card) applications which must originate from a US embassy in the home country. It also sets an allocation of how many may immigrate from each continent.
Exactly right.
The homo run left wing propaganda site is Obama’s butt boys, Brock bends over every time he sees Obama.
yeah, I’m sure supporting a plan to give Amnesty to 40 Million Illegal Aliens while 50 million Americans are unemployed had nothing to do with it, they got EBT cards already, why would they be upset??.
and we know just exactly how reliable polls are
It didn’t help him.
The Bolshie running against Brat should tout amnesty.
Did they poll the same folks who said they were going to vote for Cantor?
Cantor: Boner’s pitbull in the House. Good riddance!
Some can never get over being ignorant and stupid. Mostly, liberals and Democrats. Yes, some Republicans.
Actually, I think they’re right. That may have been the nail in his coffin, but he was unpopular personally and had been increasingly moving towards “reaching across the aisle” on everything, even the economic matters on which he had initially been very good.
GOP Congresscritters don’t retain their integrity very long once they get to DC, it seems.
Don’t you find it curious that the Democrats seem so concerned about a GOP congressman biting the dust and trying to find excuses other than the obvious one? Not really. We know the reason for the left’s concern for Cantor. With him being bounced last night the chances for an amnesty this year went up in smoke. The rest of the GOPe will be too scared to pursue this option now.
