I tried what you did Dixie and on this link: http://tinyurl.com/3npt6e
you can at least leave comments but still don't see the poll?

People at another discussion group posted the ALIPAC e-mail and are commenting they can't find the poll.

I too looked for the poll. Is it at all possible it is now down, or that the Trib can determine who they want to be able to see the article & vote depending on how they got to the Trib page? (If we came in from AIPAC, perhaps we are blocked out?)
Not sure this is possible, but if so I would not put it past any organization that is seeking to push the pro-immigration side of the debate.

Sorry I could not find the poll either.....

Three inches down slightly right I get a 3â€

A number of solutions have been offered for dealing with the problem of illegal immigrants. Which of these do you think would work the best?

Sanctions and criminal lawsuits against employers (165 responses)

42.9%

Better identification documents (12 responses)

3.1%

Help immigrants become citizens (60 responses)

15.6%

Temporary guest workers for short-term jobs (22 responses)

5.7%

Increased arrests and deportations (88 responses)

22.9%

More security at the borders (38 responses)

9.9%

385 total responses (Results not scientific)

A believe a combination of sanctions/criminal lawsuits against employers, increased arrests/deportations and all-out border security would solve the problem. One without the other two just simply wouldn't do the trick.

I just followed the link. Please keep trying everyone.
