Following
the Presidential election, House Speaker John Boehner and an aide for
Majority Leader Eric Cantor said Republicans need to come up with a
comprehensive plan for immigration that includes a way to legalize 11
million illegal aliens.
But
a new poll from Gallup asked Americans what they thought should be the
top priorities for President Obama's second term, and this eye-opening
poll found that 62% of Americans think stopping illegal immigration should be a top priority.
Only 37% thought providing an amnesty should be a top priority.
Republicans
were even more split on the two issues with 82% wanting to stop illegal
immigration and only 25% wanting to provide an amnesty.
Gallup made the following conclusion based on the results:
The
weight of public opinion on immigration policy more closely favors the
Republicans' emphasis on halting illegal immigration than the Democrats'
emphasis on creating a path to citizenship for existing illegals.
Americans
don't want an amnesty. But they do want enforcement and an end to
illegal immigration. Send Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Cantor a
fax NOW that tells them that you agree with the new Gallup poll that chooses enforcement over amnesty.
Message Boehner & Cantor |
Don't
you realize that the Republicans' reputation for enforcing immigration
laws to protect vulnerable American and legal immigrant workers is the
politically popular position?
That's what Gallup found in its national poll of voters last week.
WHAT GALLUP WROTE AS CONCLUSION:
The
weight of public opinion on immigration policy more closely favors the
Republicans' emphasis on halting illegal immigration than the Democrats'
emphasis on creating a path to citizenship for existing illegals."

Why are you abandoning enforcement and trying to push an amnesty?
If
you want to get more votes from immigrant groups with your immigration
policies, you need to talk boldly about how immigration enforcement is a
sign of your deep compassion for the incredibly high unemployment rates
they are suffering. The last thing they need is more floods legal
foreign workers added to compete with them for jobs.
Why
are you trying to undermine all Republican office holders by abandoning
what Gallup says is an overwhelmingly winning position?
