New Poll Shows Majority in U.S. Say All Immigration Has a Negative Impact

[one...two...tree 2,762]

You accuse me of not knowing the immigration history of this great country. That is an assumption I expected. You say I drink the kool-aid, but the only argument you put forth is regarding jobs. Also expected. You are picking gnat $#*t out of pepper.

You're being introduced to Danno Logic, which is not to be confused with rational logic.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

We have so many ways for people to immigrate to this country right now (more than ever) it would do us good to reign it in....

Yep, starting with Russian brides. What do you say, Danno?

[Danno 1,228]

Yep. There's an anti-immigration movement that is well document, although not well publicized by the mainstream media, and part of their objectives is to infiltrate immigration websites like this place to spread their propaganda. They are the same people behind these anti-immigration laws like one passed in Arizona and they found the opportune moment with our high unemployment to direct people's anger and frustrations onto immigrants.

Anyone interested in following the money trail should read the reports by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

1.Steve, do you have any members in mind on VJ when you claim "part of their objectives is to infiltrate immigration websites like this place to spread their propaganda." ?

2.MAybe you missed it but... ALOT of people are behind immigration laws such as AZ proposed and a number of states are mimicking.

3. DO you need me to post the recent stories from the LEFT who are sick of the scam the Southern Poverty Law Center has been running?

Before we cut off family members, I propose we start with such things as The Diversity Immigrant Visa program which imports 50,000 people per year into the job market for no other reason except... we don't have enough people from that country.

The Diversity Immigrant Visa program is a United States congressionally-mandated lottery program for receiving a United States Permanent Resident Card. It is also known as the Green Card Lottery. The lottery is administered on an annual basis by the Department of State and conducted under the terms of Section 203© of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section 131 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-649) amended INA 203 to provide for a new class of immigrants known as "diversity immigrants" (DV immigrants). The Act makes available 50,000[1] permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.

Where was it asked of the respondents whether they felt this way about 'all' immigration? Everything in there sounds like it was measuring attitudes towards illegals (undocumented workers).

I have the same reaction as the poll is primarily about illegal immigration with only question on legal immigrants. Only unrestricted immigration types always want to blur the divide between legal/illegal immigration and this poorly written article is no different.

Two in five Americans (39 percent) think the number of legal immigrants who are allowed to relocate in the U.S. should decrease, while only 15 percent favor an increase," the pollster reported.

A minority want to reduce legal immigration which seems positive in nation that's had over 9% unemployment for two years.

Because opinion is more important than fact?

No. Because when asked to name a country that begins with the letter "U", 72% (that IS a majority) of 12th graders surveyed answered "Yugoslavia". Most of them were Democrats.

People in general do not understand the difference between immigration which is legal and illegal presence, which is illegal. Opinion polls of the general public on political issues is usually mainly for comic relief.

When it comes to our political leaders, indeed it is.

I call bs, most 12th graders aren't old enough to register to vote.

Why stop importing pretty women? Sheeeesh.
