While most voters continue to strongly support border control to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into this country, they also remain concerned that legal citizens will be caught up inadvertently in these efforts.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters are at least somewhat concerned that efforts to identify and deport illegal immigrants will also end up violating the civil rights of some U.S. citizens.

What about the rights of the rest of us? Sure there’s a danger of legal citizens getting wrongly picked up but but the other 300 million or so of us are getting screwed every single day the illegals are here.

If there are 30 million illegals in America, its enough to create nearly 50 congressional districts. How’s that for disfranchisement?

"59% of Likely U.S. Voters are at least somewhat concerned that efforts to identify and deport illegal immigrants will also end up violating the civil rights of some U.S. citizens."

That is a totally flawed survey, having the traits of a push poll.

100% of the people I have surveyed agree with President Calvin Coolidge, who stated the following in December 1923 in an address to Congress:

“American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They were created by people who had a background of self-government. New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must be kept American. For this purpose it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration."

"It would be well to make such immigration of a selective nature with some inspection at the source, and based either on a prior census or upon the record of naturalization. Either method would insure the admission of those with the largest capacity and best intention of becoming citizens. Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.”

If you are legal you can verify that rather easily.

Illegal immigrants are not citizens. The respondents are either too stupid to realize this or the poll was worded in a way to get people to give this answer.

Did Rasmussen forget to include the portion of illegals included in these poll results? I call BS.

Voters are at least somewhat concerned...

Not a very high hurdle to get to an answer that Americans are concerned.

Who asked Rasmussen to perform such a pole and who did they ask, illegal immigrants?

the left likes to concern themselves with feelings. The feeling that something may happen if X,Y & Z were to occur. The reality never bothers them.

The Health Care mess, it's about insuring the uninsured, no it's it not, more would be uninsured with it.

When voter suppression, voter fraud, racism whatever is real, tangible and visible, they have zero interest.

Why? not sure but perhaps it is harder to fix a real problem then it is to have bad feelings about something and create a phony solution for a make believe problem.

One of the main goals of the One World Government, New World Order, Progressives, is to destroy nationalism.

They are working to this goal on all levels, from destroying the the sense of community on a local level, dividing towns, and rural residents, replacing elected officials with appointed boards and commissions, that are insulated from voter lash back, and by setting up citizen groups to spy on neighbors and report land use and other violations.

In one WA county, they are training citizens to use heat sensing equipment which will seek and measure the pollution coming from unapproved wood burning fireplaces.

Illegal immigration is just one front on the war against American nationalism.

There is no such thing as an “illegal immigrant”.

You are either an immigrant or a criminal trespasser/invader.

To immigrate and to be classified as an immigrant you must follow the current legal process.

Sneaking into a country should NEVER be considered to be immigration in any form, shape or manner.

Disarm the communist left by refusing to use their made up terms which are designed to distort debate and understanding of any subject.
