Curly, what you are quoting there from Rasmussen is completely different from Pierre’s position. He wants a wholesale blockade of Mexican immigrants. Why?
Not sure but maybe its because we have already taken in nearly 20 million illegals by some counts, 12 million by the official count. The official count is laughable. Since when do illegals participate in census counts? Maybe that is enough for 20 years? Considering that we limit legal immigration, from societies that have a tradition of democracy, to much less than that figure.
Where were the legions, nay veritable armies of supporters that your numbers imply exist out there? Where where the tens of millions of dollars of donations one would expect when one has 72% of voters thinking that your signature isssue is “very important”? Where oh where is the “Trancedo-mania”?
Ask Elliot Spitzer how popular his license for illegals turned out to be. Ask Hillary why she retreated so fast from her position supporting Elliot. Ask McCain why he had an epifphany about securing the border first.
No one wins any office on ONE issue, and then if the media does not like that one issue you disappear.
Not one single candidate for office is advocating opening the borders. Why not? Not one single candidate for office is advocating amnesty for all the illegals, why not? No one is saying hey lets admit Mexico into the Union. Why not? According to you amnesty folks those are winning issues. Lets hear some candidates get behind those sorts of insane policies.
Instead we see Hillary herself backing away from legalizing all the illegals, backing away from issuing licenses, why if those are such winning issues.
We see Mr. Open Borders himself John McCain backing away and saying that he will “secure the damn borders”…what you think his polling doesn’t tell him what the reality is?
As recently as the 1840s it WAS Mexico, and there are people there named Chavez and Armijio and Savedra who’s families were clearing the land, fighting Indians, rasing cattle, constructing churches, and building cities long before the John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were even born. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Albuquerque, San Antonio, San Diego, El Paso, St Augustine, these cities were not founded by wandering tribes of lost Bostonians.
That is the position of Mecha…good to know whose company you keep.
