This is a suspect poll done in collaboration with USC- a notorious empathizer of illegals.

[Psycho_Bunny]

This poll just means the illegals have taken over, there.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Propaganda BS right on cue.

[ElkGroveDan]

Bravo Sierra, big time. No way, no how. Schnur has always been a useful idiot for the Left.

[rbosque]

They didn’t ask me.

the poll — sponsored by the Los Angeles Times and USC's College of Letters, Arts and Sciences

Oh, good grief. This poll is pure lib looneyland.

Is this an argument for forced secession?

I refer to this paper as the “local communist rag” much to the chagrin of my kids. I stopped my subscription about 8-9 years ago when in the ‘family’ section in a column called ‘family life’, the columnist started referring to mothers and fathers as ‘parenting partners’ I guess so that men who referred to themselves as ‘wives’ and women who referred to themselves as ‘husbands’ wouldn’t feel excluded. What a load of crap that fish wrap is....the joke is that the paper has gotten smaller and smaller and runs ads on the front page.

I’d believe it. California is so infested with illegals at this point that there really is little hope for them at this point. All the productive people are leaving and being replaced by useless people.

[MWestMom]

So, is that 67% so stoned that they don’t see the illegals as one of the reasons that their state is bankrupt? This makes no sense to me.

[ninergold3]

They already have a “path to legalization” - it’s called get in line behind those who are following the law of this great land. Mo-rons!

[THX 1138]

...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.

Wanna bet that any amnesty bill won't come close to all of those requirements.

Which means you can throw this poll in the garbage...

[Tzimisce]

All the conservatives have left California.

It’s now a home to one third of the nation’s moochers - many are illegal/have illegal family members.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

Well, who didn’t see this coming? The population of California now is such that support for legalization should not be a surprise to anyone.

[funfan]

BS

[pissant]

I call BS!

[TankerKC]

In a dramatic turnaround from 16 years ago, Californians now overwhelmingly favor giving illegal immigrants a "path to legalization'' rather than punishing them by denying them a public education and social services, according to a poll unveiled Monday.

False Dilema

How is denying someone services they are not due a "punishing" them?

[the_Watchman]

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.

That sounds about right. I think the writers have attempted to sugar coat the results with a liberal slant. Their own figures state that 70% want the illegals to return home!

[fightinJAG]

Suspect poll, but even so . . . I wonder how much this change in view would have to do with making a path for illegals to LEAVE CALIFORNIA and fan out to the other states.

IOW, California is already pretty hospitable to illegals, I think, so many stay there. It’s also convenient to their “home country” (as Michelle Obambi would say).

But if the illegals were to become citizens, well, then they might feel more free to move out of California and try their luck in another state, say, Massachusetts, where the welfare is good.

Just saying.
