(I was able to access the poll today) Try again everyone!

Its )5:32 PM here in Southcentral PA. I just got into the Trib poll by following a link from one of the previous posters to this site. Thanks.
Hope we can wake up a few pro-immigrant types that the public is really fed up with pandering to those seeking to legalize those who have broken our laws, from illegal aliens to greedy employers of illegal aliens!

I know this is very negative, however I simply believe that this govt. will do whatever it wants regardless what the public may indicate. I can't remember such an arrogant, elitest group in Congress as this 103rd. Congress! How many times must our Reps. hear from their constiituencies that something must be done about illegal immigration? The time is now to stop this travesty of our immigration laws. This situation is already out of control: Welfare, food stamps, ER healthcare, school enrollment, drivers licenses, credit cards, all without proof of who these people really are. We have allowed gang bangers, criminals of every kind, more & more drugs, to cross into our country...all in the name of "Political Correctness!" We are so sensitive to being called "racist" that we have compromised our country.

William- I got your announcement that this poll was being blocked to Alipac users. Did I read that right? How can they get away with this?

butterbean... They can get away with it because its "their" poll. They can skew it or "push" it any way they want. And, they can even tell their readers that this is a poll reflecting opinion on this subject, when in fact blocking of votes clearly indicates its a poll designed or altered to reflect a manufactured opinion, theirs!
Those polls that word questions reasonably or are not tailored to create a specific response, or are not blocked to some while pushed to others, are rarely shown to the public. Fair poll results would tell the public that most of America agrees with them. So, those seeking open borders push those polls that reflect the results they want the public to believe. Its called, indoctrination. And the liberal media has been getting away with it for over two decades now, while presenting themselves as unbiased or non-partisan. Yeah, right!
Check polls by ALIPAC or NUMBERSUSA. They reflect honest questions & the honest answers they get to those questions. Trust the media, rarely.
