Most people in the United States think illegal immigration is a serious problem. A solid majority oppose making it easier for illegal immigrants to become legal workers or citizens.
Some findings in recent polling:
Some 59 percent say they oppose allowing illegal immigrants to apply for legal, temporary-worker status, an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll found.
More than six in 10, 62 percent, say they oppose making it easier for illegal immigrants to become citizens, according to a Quinnipiac University poll. Nine in 10 in that poll say they consider immigration to be a serious problem - with 57 percent of those polled saying very serious.
Three-fourths say the United States is not doing enough along its borders to keep illegal immigrants out, a Time Magazine poll found. The NBC-WSJ poll was taken in March, Quinnipiac in February and Time in January. The NBC-WSJ and Time polls surveyed about 1,000 adults and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The Quinnipiac poll of 1,892 registered voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
It's Not Xenophobia, It's Xenonausea--It is not Xenophobia. It is Xenonausea. People are sick of having the whole world shoved down their throats at once and being told it tastes like ice cream. They are sick of every street corner and parking lot being filled with criminal aliens waiting to work off the books and outside the laws that are applied so enthusiastically to actual Americans. They are sick of pressing 1 for English. They are sick of being at war with foreign terrorists and simultaneously being economically and demographically bound more tightly to the nations producing these terrorists. They are sick of being told that the world is global or flat or smaller or at their doorstep or all coming for dinner on Tuesday
The Republicans have lost my support. I am through with this party. Spineless idiots who IGNORE THEIR BASE! Including this President....continually ignoring his base!!!! Spending, weak on terror and allowing illegals and terrorists into your country with so-called SWEEPING reform And yes, I will vote for democrats, at least I know where they stand.
And what are the good people of the good old USA going to do about this??
Going to just sit back on your laurels and say oh dear?
Going to let these mexican flag wavers slap your face with their defiant acts against us?
Going to let the turncoat traitors turn over America to socialists, terroists?
Than you will get what you deserve.
Remember three words....WAR on terror!
He's quickly losing my support too. If he (Bush) can be THIS wrong on illegal aliens, the Dubai port deal, spending... well, now I'm wondering if he's wrong on the war.
What are your suggestions?
Why .. because 3 senators on a COMMITTEE voted to pass this draft bill?
I have some suggestions. Prosecute illegal activity. Close our borders until we can get a handle on the influx of illegal immigration. Use our military to handle any rising up of illegals. Did you watch tv over the weekend? They don't care about america or its forefathers....they insult our heritage and history and wave mexican flags. we are doomed if we allow this.
Cancel ALL visas for people coming from terrorist countries....
Never ever insult the american people by saying: "mexicans do jobs americans won't" that is a bunch of BS. I would also fully prosecute this war and finish these countries off by end of may. have you seen the afghans and their islamic law about converting? I thought we brought freedom to them? this war has turned into a marketing scam. we are allowing terrorists into our country.
NO, because not one republican besides trancedo has the balls to listen to their base. like the democrats ignore their "black" base....repubs ignore their "conservative base"
Sooner or later it's going to come down to only one option. The 2nd Amendment! After decades of government inaction, it will be all that's left.
This is a fight for America now! It seems like we are under attack by those that mean harm to us because like criminals they sneak in and hide, and than come out of the shadows long enough to demonstrate and take over our streets and DEMAND what they want.
We trusted our politicians to take care of this crisis instead they cave in to them what are we supposed to do?
Oh, I totally agree with you but what are your suggestions for forcing this to happen? I think the point of the thread is that there are too many RINO's to accomplish this.
We're screwed. Actually, this should have been "nipped in the bud" when Reagan signed his legislation many, many years ago. I remember the outrage at that time but Reagan sold us a bill of goods at that time and now I think it's too late.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but please shut the h*** up. Thank you.
Where would you suggest putting 11 million illegals in a current system where two million convicts are said to be a 98 percent prison saturation?
I could answer for BT on your question. If you think this is about illegal immigration alone, you have not been watching the senate for several years. The RINO Party reins supreme in the senate. It was 4 senators by the way and not 3.
Amen!
Oh yea .. they how did the House pass their bill if they don't listen??
And amen!
Hint: Leave the editorial comments off your thread title, at least until you're more comfortable with grammar.
What got me was Bush's statement the other day " All we need to do is enforce the existing laws " Well, isn't that your job ? The last time I checked it was the Executive Branch the controlled the Justice Department
I've been watching the Senate on cspan2 almost every day for the last few years and I am well aware of what is going on
And 3 Senators on a committee don't speak for the WHOLE party
BTW ... I also see what is going on with some posts around here
-Tax cuts
-Conservatives on the bench
-Stronger military
-Powerful, free-market economy
-More restrictions on abortion and acceptance of a pro-life culture
-Aggressively pursuing terrorists across the globe
-Please see my #18.
Thank you.
Hint: I will do as I please, and you should mind your own business on others threads. Nobody said you had to become a part of this thread. Go back to bed and get up on the other side. The world will be a better place for it.
"Must Not of"????!?!?!?!
To all responses: Where would we put them? its called deportation, put them in a plane and drop them off where they came. you people, open your eyes....when an illegal is driving a car and runs over your kid, or kills your family to steal from you....don't say you weren't warned. you are supporting impotent, inactive, ego-driven men who have no desire to change things. And when your taxes, property, auto, insurance go through the roof...thank the illegals for doing that. You are paying for THEIR behavior! and you know what...they don't like you, they hate the white man and they hate america. they want to keep their mexican heritage and spit on our history. Trancedo gets my FULL $upport!
He is doing his job
The problem is .. he can't force the State and Local Governments to do their's
And unfortunately .. some local govs don't want to stop the illegals
No matter that the overwhelming number of Americans want tough action taken on immigration, the House of Lords cavalierly refuses, taking its marching orders instead from the Chamber of Commerce and La Raza.
I've already put my two Senators (Frist and Alexander) on notice that I will not support them if they approve amnesty ("guest worker") or increased immigration. (I realize Frist is not seeking reelection to the Senate, but he has a burning desire to be president.)
I also will not support a presidential candidate like our current open-borders president, who has been a disaster.
If enough people do likewise, these political plutocrats will not be able to get enough illegal votes to keep them in office.
Care to enumerate on your last sentence?
We wouldn't have to put them anywhere. Just cut off all the benefits they have here and they will do either one of two things: assimilate or go back home. Once those who intend to immigrate illegally see that the cash cow has been cut off, they won't even attempt to come here.
I, for one, am voting with my wallet. In the past, I have sent several hundred dollars a year to the RNC. Now, when I get their (almost daily) requests in the mail, I write, using a bold red marking pen, that they will never see another dime from me until they get serious about fighting illegal immigration.
It's possible that the staffer who opens the envelope just looks for a check, and, failing to find one, tosses the response into the big round file. It's also possible that if tens of thousands of such responses are opened, someone with some sense might start paying attention.
I don't think I need to
All the new names popping up around here is more then obvious
And no .. I'm not talking about you
Hey, who wants to bet that CC has already run crying to the mods over mean ol' Coop?!? ROTFL!! If not, then this post should do it.
Run, Forrest, run!!
He doesn't mean this at all, it's just words to fool some people. If he was serious, something would be done. Did you see or hear of any enforcement happening in Los Angeles the past few days?? What an opportunity that was to make a show of strength. NOTHING!
Hey, you're the 547th FReeper to make this claim.
And yet the RNC fundraising continues to break records. Go figure! :-D
Convict them as felons and throw them out. If they return without proper documentation execute them. The rest will learn to follow our laws real quick.
When I was young my father picked apples. The owner of the orchard complained that my dad wasn't picking nearly as many apples as the wetbacks were. My dad asked "did you happen to notice that they are also 'picking' the ones that drop on the ground?"
AMEN! Sign me, Furious!
Senator Cornyn will pick this to death by himself if needed...
*snicker*
Quit trying to give these "alhambristas" a false appearance of non-existant honesty and credibility, they are rapers of this nation and are destroying it's sovereignty along with the rabble(politicians "Democrats and Republicans") and their voting enablers)that support their goals of destruction and anarchy!
Ahh, wetbacks. What a lovely story.
On trains to Mexico, and busses or covered wagons.
I agree with your post so much, thank you.
Good idea, they get enough of our money because we do obey the law and pay taxes to support the turncoat traitor politicians in Washington.
The other way is to insist on any company, restaurant, hotel you go to ask that they prove the employees are legal or your leaving, same with companies that work on your property.
