Well DUH!

"In fact, when you combine those two terms, 'illegal and immigration,' it really conjures up a considerable amount of negatives. And, in fact, we find that it's really across the board."

That's why they're called "undocumented workers" now, kind of like someone who forgot his ID card at work and has to get a temporary one from security.

Democrats want cheap votes and Republicans want cheap subsidized workers for the subsidized farms in the red states. That's why this problem isn't being addressed by either party.

Whichever party in 2008 comes out against illegal immigration will win.

First, this is Zogby, which means you couldn't normally trust it.
But, in this case, he played it safe and polled a question he already knew that enormous results of.

Hope nobody paid him for this.

Next poll:
Do you require air to breath?

• Build a big (50, 60ft high, from Pacific to Gulf) wall
• Station military personnel along the wall (protecting the nation in an enumerated Federal power/responsibility)
• Shoot anything that attempts to go through, above, around, or below the wall to invade the soveign nation known as the United States of America
  
  

Let me know when a difficult question comes along.

The fascinating thing about this poll is that although the GOP base has made the most noise about this issue, it is the Democratic blue collar base (or what is left of it) that is seen as the pollster as the most negative because they know that economic competition with third world labor is reducing their standard of living.

Illegals are taking the kinds of jobs inner city blacks used to get and they know it.

As we juxtapose zogby's poll with the FOX/Opinion Dynamics one.

Opinion is divided on eliminating public assistance, such as education and health benefits, to illegal immigrants and their children. Forty-three percent of Americans favor stopping public assistance for illegal immigrants, while 45 percent oppose it.

Even so, a 62 percent majority, including almost equal majorities of Democrats (65 percent) and Republicans (62 percent), favors allowing illegal immigrants who have jobs in the United States to apply for legal, temporary worker status

Oh yes it was zogby who came out with the 5:00 PM election day poll saying kerry was going to win big.

Real good track record there.

...the Democratic blue collar base (or what is left of it) that is seen as the pollster as the most negative because they know that economic competition with third world labor is reducing their standard of living.

True. Look at the construction trades--they're being flooded with illegals that'll work for peanuts, forcing the tradesmen to either compete or get out of the field.

Solution: Tom Tancredo for president 2008/2012

More like tom tancredo, backstabber to Tom Delay 2005.

[concerned about politics]

According to the report, the greatest opponents of illegal immigration are Democrats

In my opinion, the Democrat politicians want as many illegals as they can get into the country for future votes, but the Democrat base is angry because the illegals cut in on the money they could scam for themselves from the taxpayers. Without illegals, they could pocket twice as much.

See reply #8.

[dts32041]

Why should we believe this pollster?

[ken21]

good gravy!

americans have been fed illegals?

burp.

[Dane]

This is a poll on criminal illegal aliens, not about Kerry.

A zogby poll, is a zogby poll, is a zogby poll.

A pollsters reputation precedes him.

My reply #8 has the results from a Fox/Opinion dynamics poll. I'll let people on FR make up there own mind, they can lap up zogby's special sauce or go with a more reputable pollster.
