Is Amnesty for Illegal Immigration a pivotal issue in who you vote for?

Question

For me it is. I will not support anyone in Congress, either house, who wants to give amnesty to law breakers, and especially 12 million law breakers. I want current laws enforced.
Although I cannot vote against all of these people, I will be voting against mine in the next re-election bid. I have a long memory and they were going to sell us out. These voted for it

Answer 1

The immigration issue is important. It will be a deciding factor for me.

Answer 2

you probably did no longer state what the difficulty is. Republicans are illogical whilst they say they're against unlawful immigration: the expenses they factor to are: a million) Enforcement. Enforcement does no longer be needed if there became amnesty 2) Jobs. Republicans do no longer care approximately your job. They enable companies pass to Mexico, why no longer enable extra useful workers come right here? 3) extra spent on social centers. centers that they do no longer desire. besides, if there became amnesty, there could be much less impression on social centers as immigrants could get greater paying jobs, scientific well-being coverage, run their very own contracting or small companies. all and sundry is familiar with why the Republicans do unlike immigration. It has no longer something to do immigration status.

Answer 3

I was very fortunate in that my two senators, Chambliss and Isackson turned their backs on this amnesty bill at the last minute. They've traditionally always been against amnesty and pro enforcement through attrition.
Not too long ago they began to support it, but it turns out that was before they really had a chance to read it. That coupled with many many complaints from their constituents.

I also have John Linder who represents my district and he is totally against it as well if it ever makes it to the house.

But to answer your question. A resounding YES! If any of my representatives EVER support any kind of amnesty, I will vote against them come the next elections regardless of party.

Answer 4

Hillary, McCain, Obama your Mama,Lieberman, oh my gosh!!! What two faced back stabbers these candidates are!
I will not support ANY CANDIDATE, regardless of party who is favor of giving our country away to any people who opening violate USA LAWS, and expect special dispensation!
This is my country and if people want to move here-migrate here through our legal channels, learn the language, wait the 14 years to get residency, then so be it.
Anyone else, should be treated the same as all our other law breakers--with consequences. We certainly have plenty of cops to do the job.
And I was very happy to see my NC reps didn't vote for the amnesty bill.
But Clinton, Obama, and McCain did? What's up with that???

Answer 5

I have stated in other posts. If this passes there WILL be a big change in Washington.

Any and all will be voted out (no matter how safe they feel)

This country was founded on "WE THE PEOPLE" they have not represented us In many years.
And now they will.

I also feel they will be voted out just for supporting this bill to allow NON Americans to draw on OUR Social Security and the rest of our system.

The people of America have been taxed to the point we have very little left.
When they talk about the rich at what point do they consider us rich??? 40k, 50k, 60k,?

Answer 6

i don't understand why "we the people" don't get to vote on any of these issues personally - why we have to elect a representative, and then hope that they stick to their guns on the issues that you voted for, despite the fact that they never do. they flip flop back and forth, cave under pressure. hold elections for the people to vote on these issues, and hey, while you're at it, we can weed out the overabundance of these politicians that don't really do much of anything anyway. we don't have a voice anymore. yes, i am against this amnesty ballot, but it seems so futile - that they will do whatever they want, pass any law that they deem to be for our own good, which really means, for their own agendas. look at bush - it's time for some freaking mutiny. he is not of a sound mind, cannot separate church from state, continually countermands his military advisers on the war in iraq... i watch the news, and my mouth is just agape with disbelief, terror, disgust, any number of emotions - i just can't believe that man is allowed to procreate, let alone run (ruin) an entire country. i want out.

Answer 7

I like you are tired of the livelihood of my fellow Americans being berated by illegals. My boyfriend is in a situation now where he lost his job because they could replace him with cheap illegal labor. After 25 years doing a job he loves he now suffers from the illegal immigration issue. Why can our government not enforce the laws that are already on the books. Why shouldn't they be held accountable for causing this problem? I will not vote for anyone supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants no matter what country they are from!!!! Wake up America and do what is right for our fellow LEGAL country men and women.

Answer 8

Your question/statement, was made loud and clear, and i agree with you. In no way shape or form should the 12 million
or so Illegals be granted this form of status. If anyone in there right mind thinks a fine is going to be paid by this people are
delusional.. Our congress just doe's not hear us anymore, They have disregurarded and totally have gone away for whom they work for. No to any form of amnesty. and the people who signed are desperate as Hell to show the country that they have actually done something this session. ridiculos.

Answer 9

Absolutely. This is why I refuse to get behind Guiliani. I can forgive his divorces. I do not care what his abortion views are because he will appoint originalist judges. I know he would bomb bomb bomb Iran and I have seen first hand what he has done to NYC.

The amnesty deal is a complete deal breaker. Build the funded wall, close the border, and enforce existing laws. Then come and talk to me.

Answer 10

Amnesty is a colassal blunder. Should we now start forgiving all traffic violations? Filling late taxes. Simple assault which is a misdemeanor, just like illegal immigration? Where do we stop forgiving crimes?

Lets say I come over to your house while youre on vacation. I'll live in your home, eat your food, drink your soda, sleep in your bed, and while youre away I'll spend some money and fix up your garden, mow your lawn and clean your basement. Does that mean that I should be forgiven for breaking into your home illegally???

WAKE UP FOLKS!!!!!

Answer 11

No amnesty, these people are lawbreakers and to allow them to break our laws insults the indigenous population.


From my standpoint in the UK, I am very concerned about importing millions of immigrants such as Muslims into the advanced Western society, but not on racial grounds my objection is on political grounds.

Mass immigration is the biggest mistake made by western countries ever in history. When we westerners travelled to other parts of the world we took technology , law , organisation and science.

Most immigrants come from countries centuries behind the west and I wonder about their contribution to our advanced society.

I am not against Muslims on racial grounds, my main problem is Islam which I think does not fit into the west and prevents modern thinking.There is no advanced part of Islam and Muslims must move to our society if they want to join the modern world. This shows the failure of Islam.

So my anti Muslim stance is RELIGIOUS and political not racist.
