Americans back chance at status, poll shows By JONATHAN WEISMAN Washington Post WASHINGTON - A new Washington Post-ABC News poll found 63 percent of those surveyed backed letting immigrants who have lived in the country a certain number of years apply for legal status and eventually become permanent citizens. In contrast, only 14 percent favored a plan to let illegal immigrants stay and work for a limited number of years before having to return to their home countries — an alternative pushed by Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Jon Kyl, R-Ariz. Another 20 percent said illegal immigrants should be declared felons and offered no temporary work program, a stand that corresponds with the legislation approved by the House. In the new Washington Post poll, completed April 9, 50 percent of respondents said they trusted the Democrats to better handle the immigration issue, while 38 percent trusted Republicans. A third of Americans approve of President Bush's handling of the immigration issue, while 61 percent disapprove. Only his handling of gas prices showed lower approval ratings. Three-quarters of those responding said the United States is not doing enough to secure its borders, but they appear to have rejected the argument that immigrants are an economic threat. Some 68 percent said illegal immigrants are filling jobs Americans do not want, compared with 29 percent who think they are taking American jobs.

It's been like that for a long time.
I'd have to see more polls on this though. What happens is the globalists issue these polls with certain skewed wording to get the results they want. I suspect this may be one of their efforts and the proper questions weren't asked. On the other hand, the American people are pretty stupid.

I've never been 'called for a poll' before. How many of you folks have?
I have once. I actually relayed it here. I was called recently by a Republican pollster and she started asking me how I would feel if the Democrats took over Congress in the upcoming elections. Well, I lost the mehitable temper and told her that I thought George Bush should be impeached, tried for treason and executed. She told me that was all she needed to know. LMAO.
