Reply #6: The majority of US citizens support humane immigration reform not Tancredo's. [View All]

I posted this poll in a thread that was started saying that immigration reform was a potential loser for Democrats. The June 22nd poll from CNN on that page asked about the McCain immigration reform bill.30% agree with it, 15% said it wasn't strict enough, 28% said it was too strict, and 22% were unsure. Therefore only 15% would support a Tancredo style policy. Rahm's position doesn't have the majority support of US citizens!

When someone rails on about undocumented workers, we simply ought to ask them, "What would you do if you were in their situation?" You can bet that if my family was in the kind of poverty these folks face, I'd be hoofing it across the border to pick lettuce.
