    Sorry but you are in the minority. The majority of American citizens and legal immigrants are for these laws. Plus I'm also for states rights.
    source please??? and something objective, as in no fox news polls...

    the polls i have seen favor immigration reform, but NOT this bullshit that passed in arizona and NOT the proposed ammendment to deport the LEGAL babies of those born here to illegal mothers. they were born here so they are citizins...
    The Monday Rasmussen poll shows 55% of US voters would like a similar law to AZs passed in their state vs. 33% who are against.

    By a two-to-one margin Hispanics are more strongly opposed than Americans overall to the recent immigration measure signed in to law in Arizona that would make it a state crime to reside there illegally.

    Seven in 10, 70%, of Hispanic respondents said they are somewhat or strongly opposed to the law, compared with 34% of all respondents in the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll set for release later today.

    Among Hispanics, 27% are somewhat or strongly supportive of Arizona’s law; that compares with 64% of respondents overall.
    Hispanics’ opposition to the law stems from a widely held concern that it will lead to discrimination towards Hispanics who are citizens, or who are residing in the U.S. legally. Fully 82% of Hispanics said they are concerned about profiling, compared with 66% overall.

    The Arizona law requires state and local law enforcement to question people and verify their immigration status if they suspect they are in the state illegally.

    Only 16% of Hispanics said the law was unlikely to lead to profiling, while 31% overall said it would not.

    I'm in the extreme minority with my view on immigration. But I just think we should make our immigration laws so that it is very easy to become "legal" and let people come here and work if they choose to.

    I think both the Republicans and Democrats are in the wrong on this issue. It's time to get over protectionism and nationalism and live as a global community of people.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
