CNN: Three-Quarters Against Illegals

Go here to see a CNN/Opinion Research Poll that finds that currently 76% of Americans would like to see the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. decreased. That is about as close to unanimity as this nation has seen since the end of World War II.

Of those who wanted to see the number decreased, 80% wanted to see the number of illegal immigrants decreased a lot or completely. In our politically divided nation, that is an overwhelming finding.

The poll then asked about attitudes toward numbers of legal immigrants and two-thirds said the numbers should remain the same. Another interesting finding, 82% said they would not cooperate with any boycott of Arizona products or vacation spots.

You can find a discussion of the CNN results in this Politics Daily article.
