For those who claim opposition is only directed toward illegal aliens. . . .

Quote:
Some interesting results from the latest Rasmussen poll on illegal immigration show that voters overwhelmingly support conservative public policy on the issue.

U.S. voters want aggressive action to restrict illegal immigration, but they don’t think immigrants should bear the brunt of the enforcement efforts on their own. Most say the federal government and those hiring illegal immigrants also need to be brought into the discussion.

Additionally, Americans overwhelmingly support the actions taken by my Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

The new survey finds that 64% believe law enforcement officers should sometimes conduct surprise raids at places where immigrants gather to find work. An even larger number (71%) say those who do the hiring also should be arrested.

Didn't you dispute some poll results released by the same polling company concerning legalizing those here illegally?

But 61% are at least somewhat concerned that efforts to identify and deport illegal immigrants also will end up violating the civil rights of some U.S. citizens.

The view that the federal government is enticing people to violate the law is consistent with earlier surveys. Among voters who are angry about immigration, 83% are angry at the federal government. Only 12% direct their anger at the immigrants.

I believe the 12 percent can be found here on city data immigration forum.

This is concerning a Rasmussen poll. I believe the person you're referring to was disputing a Zogby poll.

Not this poll BS again. How many times do we have to have this discussion? NONE of the polls are 100% accurate. However, I would think that YOU would appreciate a poll from Rasmussen. It’s it in your Fave 5?

Damned if you do. Damned if you don’t. Oh well.

No, it was a Rasmussen poll.

Why do you guys always try to speak on behalf of other posters?

I'm not speaking on behalf of another poster. I said "I believe," which means I'm not 100% sure, but I am 100% sure I have a right to post my thoughts, and opinions. Then too, there's always the possibility you could be wrong. Perhaps the op disputed more than one poll.

Actually we have pretty much all blamed three guilty parties and that is our government, the employers and the illegal aliens also. Your side however doesn't want to blame the illegals at all.
