I created it to show a double standard...
First, the poll...
Fox News poll: Majority says legal immigration should be reduced

While most voters favor citizenship for illegal immigrants who meet certain requirements, there is widespread agreement that new border security should come first. In addition, more than half say we should cut the number of legal immigrants allowed into the United States. A just-released Fox News poll finds 55 percent of voters think fewer legal immigrants should be accepted into the U.S. That?s up from 43 percent in 2010. Majorities of Republicans (67 percent) and independents (53 percent) as well as a plurality of Democrats (47 percent) want to decrease legal immigration. Overall, 28 percent of voters say the U.S. should increase legal immigration. The U.S. Senate took up immigration reform this month. The debate took a turn with the Boston Marathon Bombings. The suspected terrorist who was killed in a police shootout was a legal permanent resident, while his still-hospitalized younger brother became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2011. By a 78-21 percent margin, voters favor allowing immigrants in the U.S. illegally to become citizens after they meet requirements such as passing a background check. Support for a pathway to citizenship has increased slightly since February. At that time it was 72-25 percent. Non-whites (88 percent), Democrats (87 percent) and those under age 35 (84 percent) are among those most likely to favor offering a pathway to citizenship. Border security is another aspect of this issue, and opinions are changing. Nearly twice as many voters say border security is at the right level today (32 percent) as said so in 2010 (18 percent). Still, the poll finds 60 percent of voters think it is not strict enough, and another 68 percent want new border security measures to be completed before changes to immigration policies. |
Personally, I don't CARE if 1% or 99% agree with my position...It's still my position and it's not gonna change simply because the winds are blowing in another direction...
But what do we hear ALL OF THE TIME about gay marriage?...
"We should have it because more people in the polls SAY we should have it!!!!!"
And what do we hear ALL OF THE TIME about increased background checks for guns?...
"We should have it because more people in the polls SAY we should have it!!!!!"
And what do we hear ALL OF THE TIME about legal marijuana?...
"We should have it because more people in the polls SAY we should have it!!!!!"
But the SECOND a poll such as this says something against what the same people who put up polls on gay marriage and increased background checks for guns spew, then the argument becomes "It doesn't matter...We should just do what "I" want!"...
The Left is ADAMANTLY against securing the border before any pathway to citizenship is conducted...
Example...
Sen. Leahy: If Border Security Is A Must Before We Move Forward, That's Not Going To Happen
The whole point is this...
Polls are considered ONLY when the poll advances the cause of the people who were already for what the poll discusses...
But they'll NEVER consider it when the poll shows them on the small side...
