Are we going to make any progress and will we get enforcement and deportations finally done right?

Question

New Poll Shows Immigration as a Key Issue in Contested Races
A new poll finds intense concern over immigration in several tight congressional races. Some of these tough races include races in Missouri, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio. Of likely voters nationally, 53 percent said that immigration was either their most important issue or one of their top three issues. When asked about voting for candidates that would increase immigration, 70 percent said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who wanted to double legal immigration. The Senate guest worker amnesty passed in May would more than double legal immigration into the U.S. Forty-four percent of those questioned want enforcement that causes illegal aliens to go home with 20 percent favoring large-scale deportations and 31 percent supporting amnesty for illegal aliens. Also, three out of four voters in the nation agreed that illegal immigration is caused by "grossly inadequate" enforcement efforts, not because of overly restrictive legal immigration policies.

I do not disagree with legal immigration. I think they did it the right way so they deserve what they waited for.

Those of you that keep referring to the original settlers, hello, now this country is established and we have a set of laws. They had the fore sight to address this issue long ago.

By the way, I'm Cherokee Indian and don't feel sorry for anyone else that says this oand was theirs before and they want to take it back!

Answer 1

I think will we have to wait a bit more before the politicos get serious about the issue.
It is good to see those poll numbers though,The 1 million plus legal immigrants a year are a big of a problem as the illegals are.
Time to tone it down a bit and just take skilled workers into this country.

Answer 2

Tn is suppose to be having a huge senate race since Bill Frist is retiring and they claim it's a tone setting election. Yes too many people live in the TWILIGHT ZONE they want to dwell on the past so much and about Indians. It's over,we moved on are a different country now.
