In the present atmosphere of increased crime and decreasing jobs it is not a surprise to anyone but the Obama administration that public support for a good solid border fence is increasing.

According to Rasmussen it reached a new high this week when 68% of likely voters polled said they want the US to finish the fence. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_ ... e_up_to_68

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of U.S. voters now believe the United States should continue to build a fence on the Mexican border. That's up nine points from March when the Obama administration halted funding for the fence and the highest level of support ever. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_ ... ico_border

Just 21% oppose the continued building of the border fence.

Support for the fence is strong across all demographic groups. But while 76% of Mainstream voters think the United States should continue to build the fence, 67% of the Political Class are opposed to it. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_ ... ream_views

Again we see that the Political Class has lost touch with voters.

Most voters ages 40 and older say it is possible for the United States to end illegal immigration. Republicans by better than two-to-one are more confident than Democrats that it's possible. Voters not affiliated with either party are more closely divided on the question.

Most members of the Political Class, however, say it can't be done. Fifty-six percent (56%) of Mainstream voters say it is possible to stop illegal immigration, but 58% of the Political Class disagree.

November is coming. Vote them out and replace them with elected official who respect the sovereignty of the United States. But do not vote them out blindly because you think all incumbents are bad. Know what your elected official stands for and vote for him if he supports conservative values.
