Comments<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* 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.<\/p>\n

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 \u201ccurrently subject to deportation\u201d to \u201ccan work on the books and complete with Americans for these jobs.\u201d Instead the polls were like \u201cShould some immigrants who learn English, pay back taxes, and pass a background check be eligible for a path to citizenship?\u201d<\/p>\n

The more honest polls show that only 20% or so Americans have the elites\u2019 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: \u201cno Muslim immigration or uneducated economic migrants, but scientists and the small number of Europeans and Japanese who want to come are OK\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
