A new national poll by CNN/Opinion Research Corporation indicates that nearly three-quarters of all Americans would like to see a decrease in the number of illegal immigrants crossing the nation’s borders.

According to CNN, 73 percent of the survey responders wanted a drop in the number of illegal immigrants -- with 22 percent saying the number should remain the same.

In other poll findings:

3 percent stated that there should be an increase in the number of illegal immigrants.

37 percent wanted to see all illegal immigrants deported.

23 percent said that the number of illegal immigrants in the country should be decreased significantly.

"Support for deporting all illegal immigrants is highest among older Americans and people who live in rural areas. It's highest in the South and Midwest and nearly as high in the Northeast, but only one in four Westerners think that all illegal immigrants should be deported," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

CNN also advised that the 73 percent figure was the highest recorded since the question was first asked four years ago.

Gee, 'Westerners' as in the states that have the most illegals?

I bet this is true for the people of NY too. It's just that our politicians and MSM refuse to even address the topic.

Seventy-three percent, 3/4 of all those polled want the number reduced. Imagine what that number would be if the respondents did NOT include any illegal aliens or their anchor babies (those now old enough to be polled). As Jean said, the numbers were lowest in the West, which has the highest percentage of illegal aliens.

Numbers were even close to 73% in the liberal Northeast! Just imagine what the number would be if ONLY real Americans were polled? Probably 85 - 90 % ? We do have to allow a few percentage points for the Progressives who are drooling at the thought of tens of millions of new Progressive voters and "victims".
