Rasmussen Poll: Liberals and Wealthy Welcome Caravan Migrants

Two of every three Americans want the federal government to block the caravans of migrant workers from Central America, says a Rasmussen Reports poll.

The opposition among likely voters is deep and broad — except among liberals and people who earn above $200,000 per year.

The poll asked: “Should the U.S. government stop all of the migrants in the Honduras caravan from entering, or should it allow them to enter this country temporarily until each of their cases can be individually reviewed?”

The sample of 880 likely voters opposed the entry of the migrants by 60 percent to 30 percent.

Conservatives oppose the entry by 82 percent to 13 percent, while “moderate” respondents oppose it by 55 percent to 34 percent.

But liberals overwhelmingly favored entry for the migrants, with 63 percent saying the government “should allow them to enter this country temporarily until each of their cases can be individually reviewed.”

Psychological studies show people who strongly oppose inequality tend to become liberals. In contrast, people who emphasize solidarity tend to become Republicans.

Just 24 percent of liberals aligned themselves with American workers by agreeing “the U.S. government should stop all of the migrants in the Honduras caravan from entering.”

The liberals’ welcome policy would spur further labor migration because catch and release policies allow migrants to get U.S. jobs, either legally or illegally. The migrants want and need to work hard to quickly repay the home country mortgages and loans that fund their coyote-guided “Hunger Games” trek past the murderous cartels.

Let the migrants in, just funnel them directly into Beverly Hills.

They can call them what they want but I refer to them as wetback invaders that need to be dealt with by force.

TEXANS, call your State representative and Senator to get a yes or no answer as to whether they will co-author AND support the Kyle Biedermann bill. This bill is to allow TEXAN voters the right to vote approve by their vote as to whether they want to leave this failed experiment and ONCE AGAIN become a free and independent republic AGAIN. Call every day until you have your answer. Oh, LT Governor Patrick and Gov Abbot as well. It is close to election time.

Its quite simple, rich liberals really don’t want to pay a $15.00 minimum wage.

Cheap labor trumps expensive American labor.

If these illegal immigrants are incited to break into the US will those who incite them be responsible for the murders, rapes, thefts, diseases and drugs they bring? Isn’t that the theory of the impeachment?

“Liberals?” Rasmussen sounds like they are using a decades old system. Not that there are that many good polling outfits.

For the wealthy it’s cheap labor, for the corrupt it’s cheap labor paid under the table, for liberals it’s nannies and gardeners you don’t have to pay much... trustworthy people ‘grateful’ for the job. Liberals dumped the black butlers when blacks became ‘the chosen people’ of liberal ‘elites’...

For American workers it’s people they can’t compete with... now with higher minimum wage forced on companies the incentives to hire illegals has gone way up. The chances for good entry level jobs for our kids has gone down.

Twenty years ago illegals were being paid $2 to $4 an hour to do roofing and landscaping in Floirda... how charming for the effing ‘elites’...

On the lighter brighter side, liberal university ‘elites will get their recreational drugs cheaper... I’m guessing that’s what matters to the effing ‘elites’ in our country.

Oh they for sure are. I have one of my employees with me when interviewing. He points out whether or not they’re illegals. It’s a huge deal for me, I will not knowingly hire anyone who is using illegal documents.
