Despite President Obama's efforts to cool the nation's views on illegal immigrants storming over the U.S.-Mexico border, Americans have reached a new level of anger over the issue, with most demanding a more aggressive deportation policy — and reversal of a law that grants citizenship to kids of illegals born in the U.S.
A new Rasmussen Reports survey released Monday also finds Americans questioning spending tax dollars on government aid provided to illegal immigrants. A huge 83 percent said that anybody should be required to prove that they are "legally allowed" to be in the country before receiving local, state or federal government services.
Overall, the poll is bad news for the White House because it shows sustained, and in some cases, elevated anger and frustration over the surge in undocumented immigrants in the United States.
For example, 62 percent told the pollster that the U.S. is "not aggressive enough" in deporting those illegally in the United States. Just 15 percent believed the administration's current policy was "about right" and 16 percent said it was "too aggressive."
That 62 percent number is a jump from a year ago when it was 52 percent.
When asked if the baby of an illegal born in the United States should automatically become a U.S. citizen, as is now the law, 54 percent said no versus 38 percent who said yes.

The ONLY good thing about this issue is, it has exposed the Republican Party as being what the Democrats have accused them of for all time, being "bought and paid for by BIG business".
Meanwhile, the Democrats are willing to sacrifice the general welfare (and health) of the country for pure political gain.
I've never been a fan of Third Parties. But, I'm starting to believe it's the ONLY way to stop this madness.
Where will all those who were “polled” be on election day? Nothing will change and there will only more on welfare, illegal citizens and on and on. Certainly no one has any intentions to change things and go along to get along. I am completely sick of the politicians who are doing nothing to correct the problem other than just TALKING instead of doing something.
“The GOP isn’t afraid to take that position, they’ve been paid huge sums of money by the Cheap Labor Express to not have that position.”
All anyone needs to know.
Sadly Barry was elected by our own home grown morons.
“When asked if the baby of an illegal born in the United States should automatically become a U.S. citizen, as is now the law, 54 percent said no versus 38 percent who said yes.”
This may be a sign that we are starting to get the truth about the 14th amendment as originally written and intended across to the American people. “Subject to the jurisdiction thereof” are not merely words to be ignored.
The majority no longer has any representation.
Like you, I live in Illinois, and I hate the fact that one of our senators is Mark Kirk, a Republican, who supports amnesty for illegal aliens. Which conservative should run against him, in the primary?
