The Illusion of a Consensus in Favor of Amnesty

Polling keeps finding a majority in favor of vague “immigration reform” because of the way the questions are asked.

Hint: Any question that asks “Do you support comprehensive immigration reform including enforcement…” is already a lie, since we know that the Obama Administration has no intention of enforcing existing immigration laws.

Things immigration polls don’t ask:

  • Should we enforce existing laws?
  • Should we implement E-verify?
  • Is the Obama Administration faithfully enforcing immigration law?
  • Do you approve of the Obama Administration dumping tens of thousands of illegal alien felons onto America’s streets?
  • These are the things liberal MSM pollsters refrain from asking because they know they won’t like the public’s answers, and it won’t help their push to scare Republicans into passing illegal alien amnesty.

    Indeed, 72% of those polled last year “said they support reducing the illegal immigrant population by requiring employers to check workers’ legal status, fortifying the border, and getting the cooperation of local police.”

    But as an “enforcement first” approach appears to be off the table until Obama leaves office, the only responsible thing for Republicans to do is refrain from passing any immigration “reform” until such time as the White House is occupied by someone willing to actually obey the law.
