You obviously didn't follow the links in the Miami Herald article, otherwise you wouldn't have pointed me in that direction. The Herald has a link to the Worldview report but it is not deeplink and you'll never find the report from the front page. The Herald also has a link to the Center for Immigration Policy where you will find their backgrounder report as well as a deeplink to the Worldview report.

Let me make the following observations:

The CIS report refers to "large number of immigrants and refugees"

The CIS report and the Miami Herald completely omit that part found in the Worldview report about Muslims, Arabs, and the fear of terrorism. By extrapolating the weighted numbers in the Worldview report, you see that that the poll numbers change significantly.

All of these threads at FR are about mexicans, yet you point me to a manipulated CIS poll that leaves out the part about the the Muz. This proves my point.

The CIS report also left out the part in the Worldview report about the history of immigration opinion which I have brought up before. This proves my point.

With all that said, let me suggest that you examine the Worldview reports on subjects other than immigration. They are all concise and well written.

The poll I linked to is consistent with other polls I have seen on the subject of immigration. In fact, the 70% who spoke against illegal immigration is actually on the lower side of most polls that show a higher ratio than that, as high as 80% or more. FR just ran a poll, a total of 81% said the borders need to be closed. Are you saying the people on this forum are biased and not representative of the country?

You know the vast majority of people are against illegal immigration, there's no trying to manipulate it. In 1994 the people of California overwhelmingly voted for Prop 187 and made their feelings known.

You're free to believe otherwise, but then you'd be in denial wouldn't you?
