Default Citizens Unmoved by May Day Amnesty Shenanigans

((Guevara of course thought that Mexicans were "a band of illiterate
Indians". Of course, outside the Spaniard elite of Mexico City and a
few enclaves of European immigration, he was correct. Bret.))



Citizens Unmoved by May Day Amnesty Shenanigans

By Brenda Walker

"Even though there has been a tsunami of false reporting from the liberal media characterizing the new Arizona immigration law as racist oppression, the American people are not impressed by the illegal aliens making noisy demands for amnesty. The citizens’ desire for immigration order is revealed by the recent Rasmussen poll, which showed only a quarter of those polled were positively inclined toward the Raza squawkers.


25% Have Favorable Opinion of Immigration Rights Protesters, 50%
Unfavorable, May 4, 2010

Following weekend protests against the new Arizona law cracking
down on illegal immigration, support for the Arizona policy remains
unchanged.

However, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds
that only 25% have a favorable view of those who marched and protested
for immigrant rights in major cities. Fifty percent (50%) hold an
unfavorable opinion and another 26% are not sure.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) of voters still favor legislation like
Arizona’s that authorizes local police to stop and verify the
immigration status of anyone they suspect of being an illegal
immigrant. Thirty-two percent (32%) oppose such a law. Those figures
are virtually unchanged from a week ago.

The support remains even though 57% of voters are at least
somewhat concerned that efforts to identify and deport illegal
immigrants will end up violating the civil rights of some U.S.
citizens. Forty percent (40%) do not share that concern.

Those figures include 27% who are Very Concerned about possible
civil rights violations and 17% who are not at all concerned.

Fifty-seven percent (57%) also continue to support a welcoming
immigration policy that only keeps out “national security threats,
criminals and those who would come here to live off our welfare
system.” Twenty-six percent (26%) do not agree with that goal for U.S.
immigration policy. Seventeen percent (17%) more are not sure. [...]

As on many issues, there is a wide gap between the Political Class
and Mainstream Americans. Seventy percent (70%) of Mainstream voters
support legislation that authorizes local police to stop and verify
the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being in the country
illegally. Sixty-six percent (66%) of the Political Class oppose such
a law.

This helps explain the difficulty Congress has in coming up with
immigration reform legislation that passes muster with voters. Eighty-
one percent (81%) of Mainstream voters continue to view controlling
the border as the top priority of any such legislation, while 70% of
the Political Class say legalizing the status of the millions of
undocumented workers already in the country is most important.

Three-out-of-four voters believe that the federal government is
not doing enough to secure the nation’s borders. In fact, 56% believe
that the policies of the federal government encourage illegal
immigration. [...]

Below is a photo I took on Saturday at San Francisco’s May Day
Marxican extravaganza, where the commie icon Che was quite popular. Is
flaunting such extremist views a good way to win friends and influence
people?

For some really great Marxican pix, see El Marco’s selection from
Denver: Aztlan Astroturf."
