Robert D. Novak, in politcal commentary published today in the New York Post, writes (in part):

"New National polling data shows, to the surprise of many politcians, that the immigration issue is one of the very rare areas where Preident Bush is gaining, rather than losing strength.

The conventional wisdom has been that Bush's guest worker proposal runs sharply against mainstream Republican opinon and contributes to the presidents loss of party support. However, current polls show Republican opinion of the issue is split as are the Democrats, with a national majority actually backing Bush (while he continues to drop in nearly every other category).

Some Republican members of congress have reported back from Easter recess to say that their constituents are less outraged by leaky borders than the possible loss of immigrant workers, some from their own homes."

This is absolute BS! These convieniently timed "new (and patently false) polls" are giving these traitors the golden opportunity to betray this country!

I couldn't find a link to Mr. Novaks commentary on the New York Post's online edition, but believe me you, I am copying it directly from the paper edition, sitting right here in my lap.
