ALIPAC is releasing a collection of national polls that prove the new POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground poll's claim that most Americans support Amnesty for illegal aliens (62%) are false.
Politico is reporting the poll today without offering any polls that contradict the claims and without any sources that oppose Amnesty. This level of bias in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens has been documented in article about immigration from Politico before.
"We are releasing 15 prior scientific and certified polls that show the exact opposite of this bogus Politico poll," said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "Our accurate polling data shows that a large majority of Americans actually oppose amnesty for illegal aliens. Thus, we are releasing the true information to activists and press sources nationwide to counter this blatant propaganda designed to deceive Americans and lawmakers in support of the deadly and costly illegal alien invasion of America."
ALIPAC is asking activists and concerned citizens to share these polls with media and lawmakers to prevent the attempted deception by Politico.
