Americans and Mexicans have widely divergent views of border issues, according to a new poll by Zogby International.
Zogby found that a large majority of the Mexican population believes the southwest territory of the U.S. rightfully belongs to Mexico, and that Mexicans should have the right to enter the U.S. without first obtaining U.S. permission.
By contrast, Zogby's survey of Americans conducted within a few days of the Mexican poll shows a large majority supports reducing immigration levels and wants the military deployed along the border to protect the U.S. from illegal immigration.
Zogby's poll found that 58 percent of Mexicans agree with the statement, "the territory of the United States' Southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico." Only 28 percent disagree, and 14 percent are unsure.
A similar majority, 57 percent, agree with the statement, "Mexicans should have the right to enter the U.S. without U.S. permission," while 35 percent disagree. Seven percent are unsure.
The survey has a margin of error of 3.5 percent. The Mexico portion of the survey was conducted in Spanish between May 25 and May 26 among 801 adults chosen at random throughout Mexico. The poll was commissioned by Americans for Immigration Control, Inc. (AIC), which advocates increased restrictions on immigration.
"There is obviously a large and significant gap between the attitudes of Americans and Mexicans," said Robert Goldsborough, AIC president. "While most Americans want immigration reduced, most Mexicans think they don't even need permission to enter our country. The poll clearly shows there is less common ground for immigration negotiations between Mexico and the U.S. than the leaders think. Support for a porous border and a loose migration policy occurs only on the Mexican side, not in the U.S."
Zogby's survey of American attitudes found wide majorities of Americans also oppose amnesty for illegal aliens. The U.S. portion of the survey was conducted of 1,015 likely voters in the U.S. from May 28 to May 30. It found that 65 percent disagree with the statement, "foreigners residing illegally in the U.S. should be given amnesty." Just 26 percent of likely voters support amnesty for illegals, while 9 percent are unsure.
A large majority, 58 percent, agree that the U.S. should "admit fewer immigrants each year." Only 6 percent want "more immigrants each year," and 30 percent want to "keep immigration at the current annual levels."
The single largest majority in the entire poll was found among Americans supporting use of the military to guard the border. Fully 68 percent of those surveyed agree with the statement, "the U.S. should deploy military troops on the border as a temporary measure to help the U.S. Border Patrol curb illegal immigration." Only 28 percent disagree, and 3 percent are unsure.

There are gringo Marxists who regularly rally with immigrant shills at the U.N. Plaza in San Francisco to petition the U.N. to enforce the "right" of all American Indians to freely migrate wherever they want to, supposedly to follow the buffalo herds. Not suprisingly, these Marxists hold the same views as the Libertarians do.
In a Nation of idiots, who will do this?
America's enemies, who had designs on America and who had been tempted by America's weakness, had second thoughts.
The tempting weakness was America's evident decadence, manifested mainly as "Liberalism", but shockingly paraded before the world throughout the 1990's in an array of ways, including the election twice of a psychopathic man to the presidency of the U.S. and the widespread applause by many Americans of his antics, which included purjury, rape, wag-the-dog bombing et al.
The Chinese notably appraised the U.S. as in hopeless decline (and if anyone knows the signs of decadence from grim experience it's the Chinese). With characteristic patience and caution, however, they withheld overt action.
Muslim extremists, however, unencumbered by such considerations as patience, caution, and Chinese cunning, appraised the U.S. as sufficiently ripe with decadence, and the September 11 Massacre was the result.
Decadence ("Liberalism") has suffused much of the U.S. The "Liberal" enclaves, the Democrat Party, "Liberals" everywhere, notably in academia and the newsmedia, are diseased with it.
However, the American Heartland is healthy. The American spirit and genius florish there. The promise of the American dream is still alive. The Heartland is still in ascendancy. George W. Bush is its quintessence.
There is a struggle going on for the soul and the future of America--and the future of the world as well.
If the Heartland wins, the American dream will live. It will spread throughout the world.
If "Liberals" win, the U.S. will fall. The American Dream will come to an end.
America's enemies are aware of all this. They are still watching. Obviously, they are hoping that "Liberals" will prevail and America will fall.
Ambitious Mexicans are a part of this.
Those who hope for the establishment of Aztlan are hoping for a "victory" of "Liberalism" over the Heartland.
The final outcome of this struggle is still not known. America's enemies, including ambitious Mexican politicians, Chinese adventurers, and Muslim extremists know this. They are watching to see which way America goes. They have not abandoned their ambitions.
The only hope for America is the defeat of "Liberals" and "Liberalism". Everything--the future of the world--depends on this.
"We dare not tempt them with weakness."--John Kennedy
We should start working on that wall now...
They've ALREADY made it another 3rd world scum-hole. Once they ruin that then they'll just keep invading and destroying even more of the US until they've ruined it all. Stop the cockroaches from invading NOW! ARM OUR BORDERS. DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS! REDUCE THE NUMBER OF LEGAL IMMIGRANTS UNTIL WE GET THE NUMBERS UNDER CONTROL! Then we can talk about LEGAL immigration.

What Americans think means nothing to the movers and shakers. We've got a New World Order to build. Borders impede their agenda.
I once saw a play in an elementary school put on by the kids there. It was called, "Bridges Without Borders".
Guess what the staff there was doing to the minds of those unsuspecting little children?
