I too sent him a favorable email. Great letter he wrote.

Well I don't know what polls they are using! Obviously they WISH these numbers were true, just like they WISH Bob Riley had 69% of the possible vote (another fantasy). The people of Alabama are waking up to the lies and deceit by the Birmingham Rat Bag News.

They did not even bother to mention in yesterdays paper when they were bringing up the important issues for the Governors race ONE THING about illegal immigration! They are pro illegal to the core.

Immigrant job visas OK, survey finds

Half the Republicans and Democrats who plan to vote in Tuesday's primary elections say they favor granting work permits to illegal immigrants, according to two new statewide surveys.

In the same surveys conducted for the Birmingham News and other news organizations, most of the Democratic primary voters but far fewer GOP primary voters said their personal finances have been affected "a lot" by rising gasoline prices.

The surveys were taken May 29-June 1, each of 400 registered voters. The 400 in one group said they planned to vote in Tuesday's Democratic primary. The 400 in the other group said they planned to vote in Tuesday's GOP contest.

Illegal immigration has become a nationwide political issue, with legislators in Montgomery and Washington debating what services immigrants should be able to receive and whether those in the country illegally should be made to leave.

In last week's surveys, both groups of voters were asked, "If you had to make a choice, would you favor deporting all illegal immigrants, or would you favor allowing them to obtain work permits and stay in America as long as they pass a security check?"

The response in favor of work permits (51 percent from Democratic voters, 50 percent from Republicans) and deportation (34 percent, Democrats; 36 percent, Republicans) showed "remarkable agreement" on the immigration issue, pollster Larry Powell said.

Overall, in both surveyed groups, white voters (42 percent) tended to favor deportation more than black voters (20 percent).

A year ago, the price of unleaded gasoline in Alabama averaged nearly $2. On Friday, the average price was nearly $2.70. In the survey, 86 percent of the Democrats and nearly 80 percent of the Republicans said the rising pump prices affected their personal finances "some" or "a lot." Nearly two-thirds of the Democrats said the prices affected them a lot. Among Republicans, 41 percent said the prices affected them some, while nearly the same percentage said prices affected them a lot.

"The partisan difference here is partially due to income differences," Powell said. He said 77 percent of the survey's low-income voters said the gas prices affected them "a lot" while 42 percent of upper income voters said the same.

Powell is a professor of communication studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He conducted the poll for The Birmingham News, FOX6 and WAFF-TV, Huntsville.

The margin of error in each poll was plus or minus 5 percentage points. That means that 19 times out of 20, if the surveyed voters had cast ballots for candidates during the time the poll was conducted, the outcome would have been within plus or minus 5 points of the poll's results.

I voted for Immigration Reform, of course. But I still dont like the use of the word [/b]reform. It makes it sound like we have to RE-DO everything, when all we have to do is exercise the laws already on the books.

makes it sound like we have to RE-DO everything, when all we have to do is exercise the laws already on the books.

Exactly!

The most important issue facing us is not on the list. The most important issue facing us is the legal murder of 4000+ babies daily in America, untill we do something about this American Holocaust, nothing else matters!

Welcome, JGrubbs,

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Without our country being secure and the illegal alien situation solved, we won't have a country to worry about other very important issues.

If that's your focus, I'm sure there are other sites. Our focus here has to remain illegal immigration.

Welcome, again.

I don't like the way this one is worded. Immigration reform? That could mean many things.
