    What are you going to do with those flooding in here now? Thousands of children without parents and hundreds of mothers with kids coming in? We have lost control of our border, illegals are flooding in.

    This is the act of a Republican controlled state legislature and executive. Of course it's both the Tea Party and the GOP, representatives in the state's legislature and the governor of the state. Who else? John McCain has no authority to act as an agent of the state of Arizona, except as a US senator. He has nothing to do with state government business.

    Oh yeah, the RINOs. Boehner has been pushing ofr amnesty for a while. Meanwhile, Obama has been ejecting more immigrants than any other President.

    I hope that Obama comes to his senses and works with Boehner to get some good legislation passed that will end the nonsense that happened in 1986... causing decades of protectionistic turmoil.

    Boehner has to wait for the last Republican Primary to finish....when it'll be too late for the Tea Partyers to do anything about it. Or atleast not long after the Election in November.

    Wasn't that the point of my post? I said they should be there, and that their resources would be better spent helping. Sorry, I don't control them. But that's what I'd do. In the meantime, at least the GOP controlled state government is doing what it can. Aren't they? It wasn't the Democrats that sent the supplies. They're not in control.

    So you want it BOTH ways? Credit for Republicans to try to "cover" for the fact that the Tea Party is NOT helping the kids?

    Are you Tea Party...or Republican first???

    does it trouble anyone else that people think majority opinions are a reflection of an intelligent course of action?

    Lol!

    I haven't been GOP since the first bailouts. Original Tea Party here. I was at the rallies before the GOP got ahold of them.

    I'm SURE the Right would completely agree on the "intelligence" of the polled....if it was 62% in favor of mass deportation.

    - - - Updated - - -

    So basically, you want to credit REPUBLICANS in Arizona for doing the right thing....while criticizeing Tea Partyers for not?

    What a crock of crap. Anyone with the least amount of intelligence has to know Boehner wouldn't touch this amnesty with a ten foot poll if Obama and Democrats hadn't pushed it. The only reason Boehner is pushing it now is he is hoping to get more of the Hispanic vote and don't want the Republicans looking like they are anti Hispanic. It's all politics.

    To a point your darn right. You and I both know this wouldn't be coming up if Democrats hadn't pushed it so hard. Your side also has to take a lot of blame for what is happening on our border right now. Just wait and see what this does to our economy and all those tax dollars the Left has convinced people we'll be getting in. We're going to be paying through the nose for losing control of our border.

    I am sure an organization that claims the future belongs to religious liberals conducts an objective poll.

    The TP is trying to achieve a balanced budget. They are not a charity. These illegals need to be helped by deporting them ASAP.

    What's wrong with deportation?

    Seems YOU are really screwed, Marine. I mean you're not even TRYING to deny that Boehner is looking for a chance to pass immigration reform as soon as it's relatively "safe" for him (either after the Primaries are over...or certainly after the November election....when the Tea Partyers can't touch him).

    Plus apparently Democrats control the agenda and get the GOP Leadership to follow them around like a cow with a ring through its nose?

    - - - Updated - - -

    As said before, you just don't worry about that poll, JET.


    You worry about Republican politicians believing that poll...or ones like it. :)

    I'm to old to get screwed Gorm. It's you guys that will feel the effects of this disaster. We are already a broke nation and now we are being flooded with third world citizens that will have to be taken care of since Obama has no intention of deporting them. That expense will come from our tax dollars. Tax dollars we don't have. Obama has open the borders to these people and no way to shut it, because Obama doesn't want to shut it. So get ready to pay for Obama's stupid policies that will change America forever.

    I think we should just print up a naturalization certificate for each alien invader as they cross the border......in whatever name they give......no background or medical checks.......and hand 'em an EBT card as well and a Section 8 housing voucher.......and directions to the local Emergency Room to serve as their primary care provider for the strange diseases they are bringing in........that is essentially what is happening now. Think of the money we can save on 'border control'.........and all of the 'progressives' would be happy.........why have a pretense of a border......heck just start advertising in Guatemala, Honduras, etc......."America Wants You, Come and Get What We've Built up for Generations, It's All Free"

    Actually, it was both Bushies, Reagan, McCain, the US Chamber of Commerce and others who threw the borders open. You see, it was Republican thinking at the time (Bush 43 and Vicente Fox were especially tender) that we could get cheap labor and bust up the service unions at the same time. Remember 43 saying "they'll do work Americans won't do"? Obama has DOUBLED border security. If you think the left-leaning labor unions wanted all those illegals, you're nuts. My feeling is "you broke it, now quit whining."

    I read the actual report and survey.

    Questions are open ended and - as most surveys do - worded to tilt in a certain direction.

    For example, "certain requirements" can mean anything the respondent wants. Those 2 vague words make all the difference.

    Yet again, you have failed in your attempt to spread propaganda.

    "Polls" (Left and Right) are like ********s, Gorn -- everybody's got one. And, certainly, there are Right Wing polls that are just as unreliable and data-biased as those on the Left. That's one reason I scoff at "polls", of every origin, most of which are little more than manipulation and propaganda.

    Let's see how people actually VOTE this November. That will tell us definitively whether or not America is going to go all the way to the bottom of the national death spiral that the Obama regime has sent us down, or whether we will recover at the last minute and survive the most negligent and lawless presidency in our history.

    No, let's see how the Republican Party does....over the next 10 years.

    Let's watch as a Party gets pulled into the death-spiral of being 100% white, mostly old, and predominantly male....and full of xenophobes and bigots who dream of immigrant families being killed on the Border with glee.

    Let's watch as, despite the efforts of guys like Reince Priebus and Marco Rubio to save the GOP from demographic implosion in the next decade....its determined core of Archie Bunker voters won't let it.

    Let's see as 40+ years of Southern Strategy (the GOP abandoning Eisenhower Republican support for civil rights)....to woo George Wallace voters for Nixon and Reagan......finally gets its karmic pay-back.

    You win November 2014......I'll wait on 2016, 2018, 2020 and beyond. :)

    More madeup nonsense from another fictional leftist.
