And what does that have to do with the ZOGBY poll?

It was commissioned(i.e paid for) by the Center of Immigration studies.

Gallup poll shows Americans clearly oppose amnesty for illegal Mexican immigrants

By Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ -- Mexican President Vicente Fox reportedly surprised his White House hosts at a welcoming ceremony Wednesday by forsaking the usual diplomatic bromides and launching into an intensive lobbying effort on behalf of amnesty for the estimated three million Mexican immigrants now living in the United States illegally.

Gallup polling about blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants more generally finds the public widely unsympathetic to this proposal, with only 6% supporting it. An additional 20% think that citizenship should be granted selectively to illegal immigrant workers who have been here a specified length of time and paid taxes, but two-thirds of Americans think that the United States should not do anything to facilitate citizenship for illegal immigrants.

I'm convinced that President Bush has got a bet with someone that says we're all stupid enough to be loyal to him after he spits in our eyes and sells our country down the Rio Grande.

I'll call his bet and raise him. He is going to lose in 2004 and I am going to LMAO!!

So, where has Bush propsed balnket amnesty? Other than the rantings of the virulent anti-immigrant groups?

I'm not anti-immigrant. I'm just anti-illegal immigrant that's all.

In Oregon alone maybe. I'd be willing to be that 10% of Kali is illegal.

Immigration Reform groups are non-partisan.
They support both Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals.
These groups spent over 300,000 against then Senator Spencer Abraham.
I'm serious about the diversity of thought. Groups like Zero Population Growth are leftist envoronmental groups which opppose immigration. FAIR uses both conservative and liberal arguements argueoing issues of culture, population, and employment. They support both Tom Tancredo (one of the most conservative members of congress) and Marge Roukema ( on of the 5 most liberal Republicans). They uised to support Barbara Johnson, a black Democrat from Texas.

This guy needs to be yanked from power along with most of the GOP.

Buchanan stated some time back, "the differences between the two beltway parties are inconsequential".

It appears the man was right on target.

Friday, March 08, 2002 - WASHINGTON - Rep. Tom Tancredo takes credit for thwarting the Bush administration's last effort to offer partial amnesty to thousands of illegal residents

Lie. Tom did no such thing.
His grandstanding does excite certain elements, however.

Count me in for a march on D.C. How about shooting for cinqo de mayo. It would be so ironically appropriate. For a long time I've had the vision of millions of us standing at the Mexican border, shoulder to shoulder without an inch of space between us and the determination of a lifetime on our faces. I'd gladly stand next to each of you patriots whether at the border, D.C. or the local town square.

I so want this invasion by Mexico and this sell-out by our leaders to stop, and I know that I am joined by the majority of Americans in this wish. However, like you I am beyond frustrated that nothing we do or say seems to effect any change in this headlong pursuit of national suicide. All I can do is cry out to God and ask you to join me in this humble prayer, "Please help, God. Save us from our oppressors by your great love, tender mercy and mighty power. You specialize in things called impossible by man. We need you, dear Lord, in our nation like never before. Please come and save us, for Jesus sake...Amen."

Dane, I couldn't help but notice your one of those freepers that don't think enough of their state flag to display it in your FR profile. I am not big on profiles, but have always felt patriots should display their home state flags.

If you don't mind me asking, what state are you operating out of?

Didn't FDR have a Bracero program of his own during the War? Something like a couple million came in, then Eisenhower had to send them home when they decided to settle in like they're doing now.

With the right amount of time and advertising, it could be millions.
