New poll shows 'sea change' in Californians' attitudes toward illegal immigration

"...67% WANT STRICTER BORDER ENFORCEMENT"

Sure and these are mostly illegals who have what they want and don't want it spoiled by any more of those pesky illegals sneaking in and diluting their "take"

Health care was bad enough. Passage of ANY kind of AMNESTY legislation will FOREVER change this nation and will destroy any chance we had at taking back our country from the marxist/communist dictators occupying our White House. They are going to need to do an AMNESTY soon or find some other way of maintaining control. IMO, we would be foolish not to understand that despite what our system of elections has always been, they would have ANY intention of ever relinquishing power. Yet despite the risk, we will again find ourselves battling not just against Democrats, but against the PRO-illegal wing of the Republican party.

by....”implementing stronger enforcement at the border while setting up a legalization path for undocumented immigrants who admit they broke the law, perform community service, learn English and pay fines and back taxes. “

We already know where the Dems stand on this....MORE importantly is knowing the politicians/organizations who typically call themselves ‘conservative’ or ‘Republican’, yet support this SAME “path to citizenship” amnesty.

Perhaps they are including the illegal aliens themselves in the poll now?

Well, Jinxie Grassroots is organizing big against sanctuary etal in IL, mayhaps they will in Cali?

If the “path” includes paying fines and back taxes, which is what the story says was in the poll question, I’m all for it federally. I’ve never seen a “path” that included any kind of punishment, they all are just amnesty.

A boat will only hold so many people before it starts to sink. It is painfully obvious that the liberal whack jobs in the CA legislature DO NOT believe in that concept. The result of that fact is that CA has been over run by illegals. The state will have to literally collapse before it can be fixed.

The poll was probably taken in towns filled with illegal aliens...but it’s not all bad.

“Seventy percent favor stricter border controls and a temporary worker program that does not grant illegal immigrants citizenship and requires them to return to their homeland”

The survey of 1,515 registered voters showed that 67 percent of Californians support a two-pronged approach to solving the illegal immigration problem: Why do we bother with elections if we can just poll 1,515 people and know the will of all of them?
