Do Americans Want More Immigration?

Steve Sailer writes: “The Democrats have been boasting since the 1990s that they are going to impose one party rule on America by importing countless foreign ringers to vote for them … Why wouldn’t Americans resent this?”

Comments:

* I follow immigration polls, and about 5 in 6 are badly biased in their wording. This is intentional, it is always a bias designed to elicit an open-borders view and exaggerate support for immigration.

Probably the worst polls are when amnesty is being actively considered, and the polls wording completely distorts the content of the actual amnesty bills. The most important part of the Rubio amnesty bill was that it immediately legalized nearly all illegal immigrants. At least 10 million, overnight, would go from “currently subject to deportation” to “can work on the books and complete with Americans for these jobs.” Instead the polls were like “Should some immigrants who learn English, pay back taxes, and pass a background check be eligible for a path to citizenship?”

The more honest polls show that only 20% or so Americans have the elites’ view of immigration, amnesty for illegals and ramp up legal immigration, and about 60-65% think current levels of immigration are too high. And I have never seen a poll that lets the respondent agree or disagree with my view and many others, including probably Trump: “no Muslim immigration or uneducated economic migrants, but scientists and the small number of Europeans and Japanese who want to come are OK”
