[Indiana_Dem]

Hurry! Go to this poll and vote!

[citizen snips]

1. Done.

93%-7%. We are winning by a mile!!!

[worldgonekrazy]

4. This isn't a winning issue with anybody

I might actually be inclined to support such a maneuver if I thought Bush was doing it for the right reasons...but I'm far too smart to believe that.

2. Link

Thus far its 93%/7% that it will "further depress working wages"

[POed_Ex_Repub]

3. Done also...

And you almost wonder how it's even this close of a vote.

[lcordero]

5. holy shit!!! 94%

[Military Brat]

6. Do you believe it's a farce, a transparent grab for votes? Say yes

Apparently 6 percent believe it's "humane." How touching.

94 percent see through it. What a crock of BS from the Whitewash House.

[goobergunch]

7. done

Do you believe President Bush's immigration proposal will:

Be a humane solution to the illegal alien problem 6% 132 votes

Further depress working wages 94% 2015 votes
Total: 2147 votes

8. Race, xenophobia

A lot of the opposition to immigration is based on racism and xenophobia, just like it was in the early 1800's, 1850's and early in the 20th century. What % of non-Hispanic and non-Asian racists oppose immigration? 99%? Our numbers are inflated by this.

9. I have NO problem with immigration, no matter what race, nationality, etc

my problem is Corps taking advantage of impoverished, desperate people, by paying them sub-standard wages and thus avoiding paying decent wages to people who live here already. Doesn't matter to me if they come here, or if the Corp sends the jobs out to them, either way they sell out American citizens

If, instead of this plan, Bush chose to lower the minimum wage down to $5.15 per day, the result would be much the same, as would my opposition to it

creating a Peasant Class in America benefits no one, except the CEO's

10. I don't believe that you do

But the sad fact is that many people who oppose immigration do so because of racism and xenophobia.

[arcane1]

11. indeed. And sadly, I expect MOST do

and then blame the immigrants for "taking all of our jobs" when it is the (mostly) white rich fats-cats giving away those jobs
