Swing-State Voters Support The RAISE Act By 3:1 Ratio
National Economics Editorial ^ | August 3, 2017 | Editorial Staff

Posted on 08/03/2017 2:04:22 PM PDT by Thalean

According to polling conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, and sponsored by NumbersUSA, the majority of voters in swing states support the RAISE Act, which would cut legal immigration into America by up to 50%.

They also support stopping the process of chain-migration, and scrapping the visa lottery in favor of a points-based admissions system.

The polling was conducted by Pulse Opinion Research on 1,000 voters in each swing state who said they were likely to vote in next year’s midterm congressional elections. Groups surveyed included voters representative of:

Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Union Households, conservatives, liberals, moderates, Catholics, Evangelicals, Protestants and those of other religions and no religion

Interestingly, the polls failed to reveal significant divisions among ideological or religious divides. It appears that reducing immigration levels is a relatively non-partisan issue when it comes to political affiliation. However, the polls are silent when it comes to ethnicity and immigration status—which would be more interesting. Either way, it appears that cutting immigration is a winning issue for Republicans.

It appears that reducing immigration levels is a relatively non-partisan issue when it comes to political affiliation.

Which is why both parties in Congress will oppose it. "We the People" has lost its meaning.

This bill is obviously a good idea. The only people who oppose it are people who support unrestricted and unlimited immigration. That is a very small segment of the population.

The United States should have an immigration law that is drafted to benefit the citizens of the United States. How is that a controversial concept?

Yep they’re masters are others.

And they’re about to try to over turn a legal democratic election.

I say reduce immigration to non existent levels until unemployment is zero.
All welfare programs shall be reduced 10% a year and subject to annual review.
No work, go hungry

Your skepticism makes me sad.

What makes me more sad is that you’re definitely right.
