Americans Split on Immigration Reform Priorities

illegals shoud be given a work permit valid for 3 years, at the same time we get to check their police record and every 3 years thereafter. also they would receive social security after 40 quarters and the right to go back and forth across the border.

First of all, deport every one with a rap sheet. Second the people that for generation have been living one way or the other on social services, getting money, year after year. Third, gang members, all of them. Them it will be easy to evaluate the rest that have been here living an honest and hard working life.

Ronald Reagan had the right approach when he granted amnesty as part of comprehensive immigration reform.
************
Reagan was mistaken. The current situation is proof...

I cant beleive people would consider amnesty, if you say its o.k. to stay and we forgive you.what does amnesty say to 50 million more mexicans wanting in? If I were a mexican I would try harder to get in and wait my turn for the next amnesty. I can not beleive people are so darn stupid.illegals are breaking the law and draining our country of everything.I cant beleive we would consider amnesty for these criminals......

NO! Mr. President! Enforce existing Law than ask us about reform!

THIS administration has NO interest in enforcing immigration laws-------------or voter intimiation laws for that matter either

Split? I think drake needs to get a wider range of respondents other than his liberal cronies to try and even things up. This poll is a crock. More than 50% want illegal;s out, period.

There is an illegal employer problem not an illegal alien problem. There are laws on the books, e verify, that will handle this problem. Bush spend millions, handing it out to his military industrial complex, to seal the border. California and Texas has done a good job, but Arizona has not. The economic reason they are coming here is NAFTA and the WTO.

The catholic church supports comprehensive immigration reform. The church does not want to see parents deported while their children who are American citizens remain here without them. We cannot tear families apart. Support comprehensive reform with a compassionate path to citizenship.

simple question,for a very long time, we as a nation have LOST most of our jobs as being either shipped overseas as wage issues and or just plain conditions favor the employer to export his business.. first we have had this sector of the population for more then some 300 yrs, first it was the Afro-American as slaves, the Chinese as Railroad constrution,and migrant workers even displaced whites and others from the Great Depression seeking ANY EMPLOYMENT out there, as Americans..those who claim to be ones who are decendent of those who came across from Europe or other as well as from CUBA,Latin American,Middle and Far East, have come here to attempt as history shows...MAKE IT....Ive seen how we react,but we stand and do nothing but complain..as our nations good jobs are taken away,as shipped overseas,or made as such we cant compete with other lands labor costs..we want our toys,we want our life style, but what have we done to keep it....I lost my job for medical reasons,i won my compensation cases,ive fought as a veteran,and raised one child who now has her own, they were forced to live with us as their landlord decided to sell their rental as not to want to maintain its integrety as cost to repair,but its now sold and is being replaired..they wont get it back. Thus i ask all Americans do we decide to become what we loave or just survive as we have been til when.....
