POLLS PROVE THAT STOPPING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR THE GOP

RASMUSSEN - VIA HOT AIR:

Seventy-three percent (73%) of American voters say that when someone is pulled over for a traffic violation, police officers should routinely check to see if that person is in the country legally. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 18% disagree while 9% are not sure.

If someone pulled over for a traffic violation is found to be in the country illegally, 62% of voters say that person should be deported. Seventeen percent (17%) disagree while 21% are not sure.

... Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans believe that police officers should routinely check the immigration status of traffic offenders. That view is shared by 67% of Democrats and 69% of those not affiliated with either major party.

Seventy percent (70%) of Republicans believe that undocumented immigrants found in this way should be deported. Only 12% of Republicans disagree. Democrats share this view by a 56% to 23% margin while unaffiliated voters agree by a 62% to 14% margin. These results are also similar to those found in state surveys including surveys of likely voters in the New Hampshire Republican and Democratic Presidential Primaries.

• THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE WHICH HELPS THE GOP BECAUSE THE DEM LEADERSHIP AND THE CORE VALUES OF THE DEM PARTY - ARE TOTALLY OUT OF STEP WITH THE PEOPLE.

• THIS AND DOMESTIC ENERGY SUPPLY EXPANSION ARE THE TWO SLEEPER ISSUES FOR THE GOP. (CHANGING FEDERAL POLICIES TO PROMOTE DRILLING OFF SHORE, IN ANWR, AND BUILDING COAL-BURNING PLANTS AND NUCLEAR PLANTS.)
  

I HOPE THEY WAKE UP IN TIME TO USE THEM...
