Thread: In Idaho, 73% Support Creating Program to Allow Undocumented

There’s been a lot of discussion about immigration policy in the states. Arizona and Utah have garnered a lot of attention. But, an article this week on Yahoo Noticias pointed us to some very interesting findings on the issue in Idaho.

A poll of Idaho residents, conducted by Boise State University’s Public Policy Center late last year, showed some expected—and surprising—results on immigration. Check this out:

Immigration

• Two-thirds of survey respondents (67 percent) think immigration is a problem in Idaho.

• Just over 62 percent believe counties should deny indigent health services to undocumented workers; 31 percent disagree.

• 58 percent of respondents think Idaho should pass an immigration law similar to one recently enacted in Arizona, and 55 percent think such a law would reduce illegal immigration.

• More than 7 of 10 respondents (73 percent) think that a program should be created to allow illegal immigrants to stay in this country permanently.

We added the emphasis to that last point.

Of the immigration questions, the one with strongest support from Idahoans was about finding a way to let undocumented immigrants stay in the U.S.

Last fall, then-Congressman Walt Minnick (D) launched a series of vicious anti-immigration attacks on his GOP opponent, Raul Labrador. Trust us: Labrador is no champion of immigration reform, but it’s clear now that Minnick’s attacks were way off-base. The people of Idaho, like most Americans, want practical solutions.

WHAT A LIE. This idea is opposed by 67-71% of Americans according to numerous professional scientific and certified polls that did not come from some liberal college like this one did.

I had mentioned to our Senate and Reps in Idaho to not cut our Medicaid programs to the disabled Idahoans, but rather look at the cost of Illegal immigrants and others taking advantage of our programs and abusing the assistance by using these programs in ways not intended for their use.
They cut more programs needed for our disabled American Citizens.

Let's see, the majority want to deny them health care, the majority think illegal immigration is a problem, the majority want a "Arizona type law", BUT 7 out of 10 want them to stay in the country???!!!! That is a complete contradiction of everything they just said. You got to be kidding...the last question had to be rigged to elicit such a response OR they are flat-out lying.

Yahoo Noticias...............Enough said. Another BS article backed by the open borders idiots.

I believe that most Idahoans would like immigration laws upheld. The problem is, whenever a rep/senator here tries to pass a bill to do that....it never passes because the majority reps/senators won't let it. They want to tamper with immigration laws and pass bills that favor illegal immigration and assisting illegal immigrants no matter the cost to us, our H&W, and Medicaid programs.
We need help here, but can't seem to find it.

I would certainly be interested in seeing how the question was worded. Is there any way we can find this out?
