” Americans want these illegals out by overwhelming numbers. “
No they don’t. I hear they just want Sarah Palin in by overwhelming numbers. Our immigration system is NOT broken, it’s just not been enforced. For decades. Period. Well, it is now, a little, since the WON has rocketed the number of the bad guys back to Mexico in record numbers, reportedly.
“[Americans don’t want illegals out,] I hear they just want Sarah Palin in by overwhelming numbers.”
You’ve been listening to the wrong voices in your head, then. Americans want illegals sent home first. From ABC polling: 68 percent say it is extremely important or very important to halt the flow of illegal immigrants into the country, and 67 percent say it is extremely or very important to develop a plan to deal with about 12 million illegal immigrants in the USA...Eighty percent of all respondents are very or somewhat concerned that allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the USA might encourage others to move here illegally.”
“Our immigration system is NOT broken, it’s just not been enforced. For decades. Period. Well, it is now, a little, since the WON has rocketed the number of the bad guys back to Mexico in record numbers, reportedly.”
It’s been broken since anchor babies were dreamed up by the SCOTUS. Obama doing the national version of Rick Perry, overtly coddling illegals at the federal level, is just the icing on the cake. And the American people know it’s broken. Even the Slimes admits that: “Just 8 percent of Americans said the immigration system needed only minor changes. The vast majority said it needed reworking, including 44 percent who said it needed to be completely rebuilt and 45 percent who said it needed fundamental changes.”
No they don’t.
YES THEY DO
This is from 2010 - Seems to be a pretty big issue

WASHINGTON — A strong majority of Americans support Arizona’s controversial new immigration law and would back similar laws in their own states, a new McClatchy-Ipsos poll found.
Sixty-one percent of Americans — and 64 percent of registered voters — said they favored the law in a survey of 1,016 adults conducted May 6-9.
Strikingly, nearly half of Democrats like the law, under which local law enforcement officers are tasked with verifying people’s immigration status if they suspect them of being in the country illegally. While the Democratic Party generally is regarded as more sympathetic to illegal immigrants’ plights, 46 percent of Democrats said they favored the law for Arizona and 49 percent said they’d favor the law’s passage in their own states.
More than 8 in 10 Republicans and 54 percent of independents favor the law.
In addition, about 69 percent of Americans said they wouldn’t mind if police officers stopped them to ask for proof of their citizenship or legal rights to be in the country; about 29 percent would mind, considering it a violation of their rights; and about 3 percent were unsure.
They favor the law because they want them GONE!
