Please find the results below of the NRCC's most recent survey. The answers are from our great supporters. The answers will help the NRCC to recommend importantn discussion points for the Republican Congressional agenda.

2005 Immigration Survey

The following questions were given. The results of each answer are listed below the question.

Since it was the NRCC conducting the survey, I has a small suspicion someone in Washington read it. However, the respondents were probably hard core Republicans and the results likely do not reflect the feeling of the general public...especially the feelings of those here illegally

This is a winning issue I can't imagine why any politician would be afraid of it.Whichever political party gets on this first is going to be a big winner.

They have a Socialist Community of North America to build.

We former citizens are only here to pay for it all.

Hitlery's already been making noises to that effect, probably testing the water.If anything can get the hildebeast elected it'll be comming out hard against illegals and a few more years of the Republicans under Bush's leadership doing nothing.
