59% of Americans Still Favor Arizona's Immigration Legislation

Despite President Obama’s irresponsible attacks and partisan jokes about the Arizona immigration bill, a strong majority of Americans still support the bill.

Worse yet, only 25% of Americans supported the illegal alien rallies this past weekend like this one in San Diego:

Unfortunately for Obama and the democratic-media complex, most Americans disagree with their support for a world without borders. After a week straight of bashing and misrepresenting the Arizona law, 59% of Americans still support the bill.
Rasmussen reported:

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.
