Thread: CA-LA Times/USC Poll - Fewer Californians Support Cutting Il

Fewer Californians support cutting illegal immigration benefits, Times/USC poll finds

(Note that this poll was conducted by The LA Times and USC both of whom are HUGE supporters of pro-immigration -- talk about ONE-SIDED!)

A new Los Angeles Times/USC poll has found a shift in California voter sentiment away from proposals to take away all social services from illegal immigrants, including access to schools and emergency medical treatment, from illegal residents.

Large majorities in the poll supported two alternative proposals: one that would couple stronger enforcement at the border with a temporary worker program, and one that would combine stronger border enforcement with a path to eventual citizenship for illegal residents who perform community service, pay back taxes and learn English.

The support for both a guest-worker program and a citizenship option were notable partly because they come at a time when California voters remain deeply pessimistic about the state's economy.

The Los Angeles Times/USC College of Letters, Arts and Sciences poll surveyed 1,515 registered voters from March 23 to 30.

It was conducted by a bipartisan team of polling companies based in the Washington, D.C., area: Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, a Democratic firm, and American Viewpoint, a Republican firm.

The margin of error is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.

The poll asked whether voters supported "implement stronger enforcement at the border and prohibit those here illegally from benefiting from any taxpayer-funded social services, including emergency room treatment and public education for children here illegally."

In response, 31% said they strongly support and 32% said they strongly oppose.

In 1994, California voters approved Proposition 187, which cut off many of those benefits to illegal immigrants. It was later ruled unconstitutional.

Total BS!!!!!!!! Everyone I know wants them outta here!

LOL.....oh sure, just ask the illegal aliens in CA if they support cutting benefits for themselves

This is the kind of media junk you will see lots of in the near future, they are hoping everyone without a backbone will think it's time to give up the fight.

If this kind of false information become commonplace (expecially before November) some people will just cave in, thinking "what's the use".

Don't be fooled.

i want to know how the question was worded

I am sure the poll was pumped pretty hard by the OBL crowd.

Yeah sure....In other news, vicente fox and mexico oppose benefits being cut for illegal invaders...

I wonder what the answer would be if people understood that illegals are taking the jobs that should be going to the youngest and poorest Americans.

The 67 question poll was mostly about political candidates and parties, a current few issues such as health care, cell phone use, immigrants and/or illegal immigrants, your religion, and other nosey things.

True to their biased reporting tactics, the whole LATimes blog article zeroed in on ONLY the few immigration questions.

This is where you can find the questions and results of the 1,515 registered voters answered.
