Simple method to avoid civil strife and solve problems democratically...our founders knew how -- We The People -- the VOTE is a civil way to resolve disputes. Why do illegal lovers hate the vote right now? Because right now, today if it were put to a NATIONAL REFERENDUM: check only one: A) make illegal aliens citizens now, or B) DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS, Secure our borders and fine and prison time the H out of ANYONE employing an illegal alien......Choice B would win by a LANDSLIDE!

God Bless America. God help us avoid civil strife and violence by allowing American citizens the right to VOTE. God bless American patriots. God bless ALIPAC!

Thanks Populist,it is good to have all these polls in one place.

As you know MSNBC/Telemundo polls are strinkingly different.

A recent poll of minorities showed they are against Amnesty too but I cannot find it nor do I remember who the polster was,do you remember this poll ?

I want to quote it when I blast MSNBC but I want to make sure my brain is loaded (with the proof) before I shoot of my mouth.

I suggest everyone who has MSN as their computer front page cancel and go to another provider.

Thanks Populist but that is not the one which was done in either Apr. or May.

NBC News tonight claimed 61% of Americans are in favor of Amnesty.

Maybe I will have more time Thurs. to search for it.

I read that NBC poll, which typically of these MSM polls, wraps amnesty around tough-sounding requirements, and does not offer attrition/enforcement v. legalization as a choice.
