TAKE ACTION NOW TO SECURE OUR BORDERS

90 Percent of Americans Want Immigration Problems FIXED, Not Reformed



In the Dick Morris Report published on TheHill.com on May 4, 2010, he says about Obama, “In his frequent messages calling for higher Latino and black turnout and his condemnation of the Arizona immigration law, Obama is trying to recapture over immigration the voter approval he lost over healthcare.” It appears quite likely according to a Gallup Poll, that Obama will definitely not recapture any voter approval, and is very likely to lose even more than he wishes.

The Gallup Poll that was presented by CNS News.com on May 05, 2010 which was conducted on May 1-2, states that “9 out of 10 Americans Say Secure the Border This Year.” It couldn’t get more definitive than that. NINETY PERCENT of Americans; those are your employers, Mr. Obama; and lest you say that they are all Republicans, just don’t bet your lunch money on it. The poll asked Americans if they would say ‘it is moderately to extremely important to them for the federal government to take steps this year to secure the border against illegal immigration’ and 9 out of 10 questioned answered positively. Only ten percent said it was not that important. However, 42 percent said it was extremely important, 26 percent said it was very important and 21 percent called it moderately important. Those, Mr. Obama, are numbers that you just can not slough off as unimportant. That is 90 percent of the people telling you to TAKE ACTION NOW TO SECURE OUR BORDERS. And that doesn’t mean to send a handful of new border patrol agents to work on the problem; it means DO IT RIGHT, and DO IT NOW! That question was followed by Gallup with another question asking “whether it was extremely important, very important, moderately important, or not that important to them that the U.S. government develop a plan to deal with the large number of illegal immigrants who are already living in the United States.” In almost identical fashion, NINETY PERCENT of the respondents answered affirmatively regarding extremely, very or moderately important while only TEN PERCENT replied that it was not that important. So it would appear that should the President choose to hang his hat and hopes on those 10 percenters who didn’t feel it was that important, he could find himself out of a job in 2012, if not sooner. Obama has a way of choosing to ignore anything that is not to his liking or that shows that his positions are not favorable to a high percentage of the REAL citizens of this country. He is extremely disdainful of the people who provide the tax dollars to operate the United States of America, but it is a group that should not be denigrated nor ignored. Accompanying the poll data was information on reasons why those poll respondents voted as they did and that was that “61 percent of Americans say they are very concerned that illegal immigrants are putting an unfair burden on U.S. schools, hospitals, and government services.” Also, 55 percent of the respondents said that “they were ‘very concerned’ that allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the United States might be encouraging others to come here, and 53 percent said they were ‘very concerned’ that illegal immigrants making low wages might make U.S. employers less willing to pay American workers a decent wage. This poll should show our federal government that our citizens of the entire country are overwhelmingly in favor of not just immigration reform as some in Congress and Obama as well are taking into consideration. The citizens damn-well want it CORRECTED. To ignore this great a number of American citizens is to act differently at their own peril. November is not that far away and memories are not that short that they will forget between now and then. Get your act together, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and other activists of negativity such as Schumer, and his cronies. You have been warned; I suggest you act accordingly.
