Poll: Bush immigration stance unpopular

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 6 (UPI) -- While most people asked say immigration is good for the United States, a Gallup Poll indicates displeasure with President Bush's handling of the issue.

A November poll showed 26 percent of U.S. residents asked approved of the way Bush is handling immigration, while 65 percent disapproved, a Gallup Tuesday Briefing analysis said. The poll was conducted three weeks before Bush traveled to the U.S. Southwest to talk about immigration.

A Gallup poll released in June showed strong U.S. support for immigration, with 61 percent of respondents saying it was good for the county and 34 percent saying it wasn't. Forty-six percent said they would like to see immigration decreased and 49 percent said the presence of recent immigrants holds down wages for other U.S. workers.

2. hopefully we are now at the stage when he just opens his mouth,

most people will disapprove. If the majority of people have started to really, really dislike him, that is what will happen.

4. Isn't that funny?

This is the only issue I find myself remotely agreeing with him on, too. (and I mean remotely!)

I bet there's something else that he and I support in common like quiet, restful weekends or maybe chocolate after dinner ...but I'm not so sure Mr * and I agree on much else.

5. If they think wages are kept down by recent illegal immigrants - wait

until there are guest workers who have to leave every three years. Now how much more will wages be depressed?
