    Fine, Polly.....again, I'm sure REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS will just as easily dismiss the poll.

    BTW, I'm sure you dismiss the "lib'rul leftywing Commie"....LexisNexis?

    You know I'm a card carrying member of the Tea Party and the vast right wing conspiracy, and an evangelical. So, you're analysis is a little off. I think most of us want an effective political strategy and policies that actually work.

    The problem is, those that want something done, won't take the time to contact their representatives and voice their concerns. We have lost control of our border and no one seems to care enough to try and do something about it.

    Polly said the poll REPORTED at Politico was biased because he thinks Politico is biased....

    so tell us WHO "cis.org" is?

    BTW, I asked for a poll showing 62% want mass deportation....even CIS's "neutral" language couldn't get that.

    Immigration laws ARE the "path to citizenship". Got a poll saying Americans want to do away with them?

    Our laws state that you must have proper documentation to enter/stay/work/become a citizen in this, and most, countries.

    To not possess documentation while in a country that requires it, one is clearly breaking the law.

    When you break the law you are referred as a ___________?



    By ascribing to an alternate interpretation of criminal trespass you immediately negate your own argument. How you and others do not understand that is astounding.

    That's not the Tea Party nor Republicans. BTW, Arizona produced McCain....who the Tea Party call a "RINO" and hate.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Actually YOU made my point to YouLie...I told him of people like yourself who would not support a pathway to citizenship for those not convicted of other crimes....because you consider their undocumented status to be "criminal" and thus want them ALL deported.

    Thanks.

    Wrong. McCain was born at the US Military installation in Panama.

    Got a poll showing a majority of Americans want mass deportation? CIS (who, BTW, are the most vehement anti-immigrant group out there....so their "neutral language" poll is immediately suspect...unlike EVERY OTHER POLL)......can't produce a poll that shows a majority of Americans support a mass deportation program.

    But you don't worry about me or Politico or CIS, Grok....you worry about a Republican Party who once they are DONE with the 2014 midterms and no longer need to worry about pandering to Nativists......or even after their Primaries, when they know 99% of Tea Partyers will STILL vote for the Republican Nominee...even a "RINO"?

    believing that poll I posted and seeing no reason to KEEP pandering to 19%.

    You worry about John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn....all safely re-elected (or safely due to be re-elected)......and trying to blame Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi....for what those Republican gentlemen will do in the future.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Re-read my post....I asked for a poll showing 62% supporting mass deportation.

    The Pat Buchanan/Michele Bachmann Brigade over at CIS....couldn't produce one, could they?

    - - - Updated - - -

    John McCain as a US Senator....was elected and numerously re-elected by the State of Arizona.

    Or are you so bereft of material, you think nitpicking semantics makes you look smart?

    Yup, and they even call it "a path to citizenship", obama and pals are using a euphemism for amnesty, with zero regard to the laws obama swore to enforce.

    Your poll says NOTHING other than Americans want illegals to EARN THEIR CITIZENSHIP, not have it handed to them.

    Funny. I happen to be one of those in this thread that you ignored. You know, the ones that recognize that there is already a path to citizenship. And that path is not under a fence in the middle of the night for undocumented criminals.

    Furthermore, what "I" consider means little. It's the law.

    Lastly, I don't want them all deported. That is far too difficult/expensive. The solution is simple. Remove the carrot and the criminal rabbit will stop running.

    The CIS poll said that 64% of Americans want mass deportation? Something UNHEARD OF in any other polling on the idea???

    Let me guess the NRA has a poll that shows 78% of Americans believe everybody should have a bazooka? :)

    I hope that Obama actually does something this term. There has not been much fundamental change. Granting citizenship to those who have been living and working in the US seems like a fair compromise. It's what Americans want, and it's a good solution to decades-old immigration debate.

    It gave you a majority number which shows a majority supports immigrants going back to where they came from... deal with it gorny.

    So like to Grok....welcome to the 62%. :)

    - - - Updated - - -

    Does that majority want to mass deport them, OY....yes or no? Could CIS's "neutral language" get THAT in a poll???

    - - - Updated - - -

    Not Obama....Republicans.

    The Right will BLAME Obama....for guys like Boehner and Cantor and McConnell selling them out.

    It'll be hilarious to watch (or read) :D

    Is that to say that you agree that they should not enjoy any of the benefits of American citizenship without taking the proper, legal paths to the same (sans amnesty)?

    FYI: Go back where they came from =/= mass deportation

    Try some intellectual honesty once in a while if you would.
