Quote:70 percent of Democrats support legislation to award amnesty to illegal immigrants who are in the United States and allow them to become permanent residents, according to a new poll. The poll also found that nearly half of all likely voters say Trump's handling of illegal immigration is "too harsh."

A recent poll from Rasmussen Reports found that 50 percent of likely voters overall support legislation to grant amnesty for illegal immigrants. 22 percent of Americans strongly support the position. The poll was conducted between October 12 and 14 of 1,177 likely voters and had a margin of error of 3 percent.

Those who took the survey were asked, "In general, would you support or oppose legislation to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants and allow them to become permanent US residents?" 70 percent of Democrats agreed with amnesty, and 63 percent of Republicans opposed it as a general measure.

The survey also tracked Americans' views on Trump's handling of illegal immigration in the United States, which was also divided. Those who took the poll were asked, “In general, have the immigration policies of the Trump administration been too harsh, about right, or not harsh enough?”

47 percent of voters said that Trump’s immigration policies have been too harsh, 32 percent said they were just right, 17 percent said they are not harsh enough.

72 percent of Democrats rejected Trump’s polices, calling them too harsh, and only 18 percent of GOP voters said the same. Independents were divided, with 48 percent saying Trump is too harsh on the immigration issue.

Those taking the poll were also asked about their views on mass deportations. 69 percent of Republicans support the policy while 65 percent of Democrats oppose it. The poll results come as the Trump administration has been ramping up efforts to crack down on illegal immigration in different cities around the country, going after what the administration has called the "worst of the worst," or illegal immigrants who have come to the US and committed more crimes or are part of gang and cartel organizations.

So, the strongest country in the world should be the easiest to become a citizen of? Makes perfect sense. These fools have been living off free pshit for too long. If something doesn't cost anything it has no value.

Well of course they want to give them amnesty. That was the whole point of lifting our skirt at the border.

The Dems can't win votes with good ideas, so they try to import poor people for the census and eventually to vote.

DUUUHHHH...

I’m surprised it is only 70%.

Yep. A leftist-sponsored invasion. And they hate we're putting a stop to it and even trying to reverse it.

that's another pet peeve target by '30 ... the attempt to disallow in the count will make it to SCOTUS ... and tanq-0fer-rang's winless streak will still be intact after ruled upon ...

Sure, why would they want to reverse their plan after is was broadly successful?

Yep. They did it right out in the open, and weren't the least bit apologetic about it. The entire scheme was obvious from the beginning.

IIRC, this scheme started when Gore lost to Bush, and the Dems had pushed hard for felons to have the right to vote.

Just glad we have a president who doesn't care what they think and instead intends to honor his campaign promises.


I voted for that!

Can you imagine how many more would be here now if mush-mouth was president?

So 49% are with Trump, 47% against Trump and 3% on the fence on how the issue is being dealt with. It like everything right now splits directly down party lines.

Amnesty is also sort of a 50 50 deal. Though my guess is many would be ok with Amnesty for kids brought here 20 plus years ago who really don't know any country other than the US. When it comes to adults who broke the law and entered I doubt the # is much above 35% and 95% of those would be democratic voters.

The sad thing is Biden created this mess in the first place.

Well, we all know why and it's not for humanitarian reasons.
