Washington Post: America supports Arizona immigration law
Order some of our Arizona Style Enforcement Now bumper stickers!
Despite all efforts by the media to demonize the entire state of Arizona over its immigration law, the law is still extremely popular. In fact, it is now popular nationwide!
Polls show that nationwide support for the law has climbed from 50-51% in 2010 to 65-68% today!
According to the latest national Quinnipiac poll 74% of whites, 55% of black, and 47% of Hispanics support the law. 92% of Republicans, 46% of Democrats, and 72% of Independents support the law. The same polling agency has been reporting a steady climb in approval for the law over the past two years. In May of 2010, only 58% of whites, 25% of blacks, 34% of Hispanics, 75% of Republicans, 28% of Democrats, and 57% of Independents said they support the law.
Polls show that two out of three registered voters (or more) support Arizona’s immigration enforcement nationwide. The law enjoys far higher support than Barack Obama, who is trying to get the law declared unconstitutional.
The media has spent the past two years telling people that they are a “racist” if they support the law. There was even an episode of the Simpsons that stated people from Arizona “have no souls.” The media has failed! We can beat the “mainstream” media.
In national polls, there have consistently been more supporters than opponents of the Arizona law, with the latest polls showing higher support than at any point since its passage. More than two-thirds of registered voters (68 percent) approved of the law in an April Quinnipiac poll, while only about a quarter disapproved (27 percent). Voters backed the law by a slimmer 51 to 31 percent margin in Quinnipiac’s earliest gauge, which did not specify that the law requires police to verify some people’s legal status. The law has received at least 60 percent support in every public poll this year.
The law’s key provisions also enjoy wide public support. In a May 2010 Pew poll taken just after the law was passed, 73 percent approved of the law’s requirement that people produce documents verifying their legal status, 67 percent approved of allowing the police to detain people who cannot do so and 62 percent approved of allowing police to question anyone they suspect is in the country illegally.
Support for the law is high even as most Americans acknowledge it might lead to discrimination. More than half the public — 54 percent — said the Arizona law would lead to discrimination against Hispanics in a 2010 CNN/ORC poll, including 69 percent of African Americans and 74 percent of Hispanics. Whites divided evenly on whether the law would lead to discrimination.
One reason for such wide support may be the broad sentiment that the U.S. government is not doing enough to keep illegal immigrants from coming into the country. Three-quarters of Americans said this in a 2010 Washington Post-ABC News poll, and at least as many said so in polls back to 2005. It’s unclear whether this attitude will weaken in the wake of recent data showing the rate of immigration has slowed to a standstill in recent years, with just as many Mexicans leaving the United States as immigrating to it.
The law also has been popular in Arizona, and a political winner for Republicans. Fully 68 percent of voters in the 2010 gubernatorial race favored the law according to network exit polls — 53 percent strongly — and these voters supported Gov. Jan Brewer’s reelection by a more than a three-to-one margin. She beat her opponent by double digits.
I am 100% behind the arizona law Obamas lawsuit has no bassis in merit Its just Big Brother trying to intimadate those states who stand in the way of the leftist NAU and Plans of the sinister CFR and UN
April 25th, 2012 at 6:34 pmhopefully romney pushes this. its pathetic that these people don’t have the balls or the voters don’t have the brain cells to vote in people that want immigration reform. im sick of this “rubio” vp shtick. he is just another open border commie. santorum as vp will solidify the ACTUAL conservative republicans. no women or some spanish speaker as vp will help romney de-throne the mixed-raced muslim. and NO ILLEGAL should be allowed to go to college. while poor whites kids get ZERO chance. and the illegals go to college for free on whiteys time. wake up white people or die.
April 25th, 2012 at 8:46 pmI support the arizona law! Obama’s lawsuit is racist!
April 25th, 2012 at 9:12 pmWhenever I see Mitt Romney on the Web in a video, smirking and flapping his lips – I immediately think back to that hilariously funny Kurt Russell movie ‘Used Cars’ and I’m reminded of the character played by Russell.
Romney is a con-artist and a snake oil salesman, if there ever was one. He hasn’t even gotten the GOP nomination yet, and already we see him cozying up to the likes of Marc Rubio – another globalist, open borders loving, anti-White RINO. In addition, has everyone noticed that a whole parade of RINO/neo-con globalist, war mongering, open borders loving GOP big names have come out to endorse Romney? Rudy Giuliani, Jeb Bush, G.H.W. Bush, Karl Rove, etc.?
Those endorsements ought to tell us all something very important about what to expect from Mitt Romney, if he should win in November.
April 26th, 2012 at 4:41 amthrow all these disease ridden,criminal,non speaking anti american illegals out of my country. also take spanish and all other foreign language’s off my directions,food labels,signs and no press 1 for english. the only way these people will learn the language is only have english on all products,period. i wish i were born in the late 1800′s or early 1900′s when this was not a issue.
April 26th, 2012 at 5:40 amRomney is giving lip service to people fed up with our immigration laws being ignored by the FEDS and most of the states. Romney’s voting record on immigration speaks for itself. Go to numbersusa.com and see for yourself.
The 1965 Immigration Act sponsored by the late Ted Kennedy destroyed this country. A repeal of that law should be done now and a return to the prior immigration act pre-1965.
In addition to enforcing current immigration laws concerning illegal aliens, jail employers that hire them, no more anchor baby citizenship and NO more welfare and MOST will self deport. Anyone caught still in the country illegally gets immediate deportation and the bill for it sent to whatever country their from. If the illegal lands in a US prison due to murdering, rapping, robbing, or identify theft the bill to house the illegal again sent to whatever country their from to! I guarantee the problem will dry up quick.
And send all Muslims (and yes they do come here legally) back to their own homelands and NO more Somalia refugees brought here under false pretenses and shipped into the mid-west.
It’s NOT hard to do, however no one in DC wants to that is the issue. And Romney will allows this to go on.
April 26th, 2012 at 8:31 amI knew, when the voices on rush radio started to say ” we need to get behind whoever is the nominee in the end” that romney was the manchurian candidate. Rick Santorum and Ron Paul or BUST!
