59% of Americans Still Favor Arizona's Immigration Legislation
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, May 4, 2010, 11:47 AM
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.

If people were told what it really was about, the truth for instance, the number would probably be over 80% In essence it is just a State wrapper for the federal law.
down with dems commented:
You’d never know only 25% supported the rallies the way the media covered them. They got 20x more media coverage than any Tea Party event.

We Americans are a very welcoming and generous people. We welcome all LEGAL immigrants who come here and we strongly encourage people from foreign countries to take the elements of their greatness and weave them into the fabric of that which is America. This makes America even better.
We do not welcome those who come here ILLEGALLY and behave in a defiant and arrogant manner after getting here. It doesn’t matter what your ethnic background, race or religion is – come here ILLEGALLY and you are persona non grata, PERIOD.
That our government has totally failed in its responsibilities to secure the border is extremely unfortunate. That said, we have additional remedies which require absolutely no government action whatsoever. All we have to do is make sure none of the money in our pockets gets into their pockets. We all spend our money freely without undue influence. VOTE WITH YOUR MONEY and stop waiting for the government to draft legislation to deal with the problem. They haven’t done it for decades – what makes anyone believe they will ever do it effectively?
We can stop the scourge of illegal immigration in very short period of time if we take the proper action. Do it or stop complaining. The Calvary isn’t coming!

Trying to find link, for this story. A US citizen of Korean parents went to LA rally to oppose the illegals. His sign said AZ the State with Courage. The illegals called him a racist and then told him to go back to his rice paddies in China, go home you Jap and other great remarks. Who are the racist?

The Solution to our Illegal Invasion Problem is Easy!!!
All we have to do is adopt Mexico’s Immigration Policy as our own!
But the Illegal Invasion is part of the Progressive Plan to fundamentally change the United States of America.

When are we Conservatives going to come up with our own media to overpower the deceptive liars who keep misstating the Arizona law and all other stories that don’t fit their agenda?

for those who disagree..
NYT/CBS slant poll question, but people still support Arizona law
[Nevertheless, 51 percent of respondents said the bill is about right, while nine percent said it doesn’t go far enough, 34 percent said it goes too far and five percent didn’t know. So while the 51 percent who believe the bill is about right is indeed a slim majority, it is only a slim majority when you don’t consider the nine percent who believe it doesn’t go far enough. You could just as accurately say that 60 percent of those questioned say the bill is about right or doesn’t go far enough, while just 34 percent say it goes too far.]
and ya just gotta love this guy (i’d like to see Obama (or any one
of them debate him re: the following @ the 3:18 to 8:28 mark)..
Ted Hayes lets Obama know about being black: Obama is
like a Wiley Devil stealing the soul/legacy of black people..
[had to correct the title, Hayes did not say white]

IF the News actually reported fairly what was in the bill it would be over 70% support.
timothyJ commented:
I listened to that “joke” at John Maverick McCain’s expense. It didn’t deserve nearly 1/10 of the laughter it got. And having to see Alex Stuck on Stupid Baldwin front and center in the camera was almost too much for my poor stomach to take. Slime balls of a feather hang together. Or some mixed metaphor like that.
Corporal Vere commented:
It proves 41% of us are morons.
jonyjoe101 commented:
everytime they wave their beloved mexican flag they show there true loyalties. They love mexico so much that they leave it. The media downplays the mexican flags, but it is a big deal to most Americans.
Either your an american or your not. I have no respect for anyone who has loyalties to there ancestral homeland but consider themselves Americans.
I wonder how Mexico would react if americans where protesting in mexico waving the american flag?
Even obama shows his respect to the American flag just like bill ayers.

Promise, if I see a mexican flag hung above an American flag I will cut the mexican colors down and leave them on the ground. Old Glory I will rescue from the foreign invader. No more tolerance, you respect the law and the countries traditions lest i disrespect yours in spades. No quarter asked and none given. powder is dry.
Isn’t it weird... commented:
….how it’s racist if we don’t grant millions of illegal’s amnesty BUT one little cuban boy named Elian must, at all cost, be sent back to the communist country he and his mother escaped from.
