Why the Illegal Immigrant Amnesty legislation died a deserved death

Rasmussen has detail on the reality of the matter.



Noteworthy:


"The key to building support for such a compromise is convincing voters that the government is serious about controlling the border. That’s where this particular compromise has failed in the court of public opinion--just 16% believe it will actually reduce illegal immigration."

"From the beginning, the President and most other Beltway politicians have misunderstood the public debate over immigration. The initial discussions in Washington implied a debate that was either pro-immigration or anti-immigration. Those who favored some form of legalization or earned citizenship were pictured in official Washington as pro-immigrant while those who favored border control were thought to be anti-immigrant, ignorant, and perhaps racist.

However, Rasmussen Reports data shows an entirely different picture."



Don't believe some of the nonsense spewed by the Nutroots about the reason for this bill's failure.

In addition, don't expect to read very much from our Usual Suspect Dem/Lefty/"Progressive" counterparts about the actual will of the people here.
