| A new poll released by the Center for Immigration Studies shows the majority of likely voters simply want illegal immigrants to head back to their home countries. A new poll using neutral language — and avoiding the false choice of conditional legalization vs. mass deportations — finds that most Americans want illegal immigrants to return to their home counties, rather than be given legal status. The findings also show a very large gap in intensity, with those who want illegal immigrants to head home feeling much stronger about that option than those who would like to

Comments: No kidding! This is one poll you won´t see run 24/7 on the MSM. Does Rubio know this?

The last thing we need is more "border securty." What we need is a 2000 mile long, 100 yard wide mine field. What with the dead bodies laying randomly around, most everybody will be able to figure it all out.

So what if a majority want illegals to be deported? A majority are opposed to gay marriage. How´s that going? A majority are opposed to Obamacare. How´s that going? A majority are opposed to high government deficits. How´s that going? A majority are supportive of 2nd Amendment rights. How´s that going? A majority do not want religion banned from all aspects of public life. How´s that going? A majority are socially conservative. How´s that going?
When Amnesty comes, adding millions of reliably Democrat voters, we´ll no longer be the majority.

I like a 6 lane interstate along the border with an 80 mph speed limit. To keep traffic at a good level, give away fuel at the rest stops. Would be the cheapest "fence" we could build.

The illegals do not want to go home; they get FREE healthcare, FREE welfare, FREE food stamps, FREE dental care, FREE education for their kids with FREE breakfasts, and every other free program the progressives give to them. Why would they go home?

Most illegal aliens come here because they know that with readily procurable bogus ID that they can pretty easily get hired to a US job that will pay them more then they can earn in their home country. If that is deemed not to be true anymore by prospective illegal aliens they will no longer come here in large numbers.
Therefore the US Government should re-issue the US social security card in modern high-tech form, to everybody under age 55 who is authorized to work in the USA, US citizens and legal aliens alike. The new card should have a digital photograph of the bearer, other biometric identifiers, and have instant electronic verification. capability.
When employers hire anyone, they must be required to have the employee present the new card, then the employer must be required to review the new card to ensure that the person presenting the new card is the person to who it was issued by comparing the person to the digital photograph on the card, and then the employer must be required to electronically verify that the card is a valid card, just like commercial credit cards are instantly verified today.
With effective enforcement, and a secure issuing environment to ensure that the government is not issuing the new card to illegal alien impostors who fraudulently apply, such an employee verification system would keep most illegal aliens out of most American jobs worth them having.
The result over time would be a large percentage of the current illegal alien population going back home once they realized that their chances of getting a US job in the future was almost nil.

why should he go home, Obama is giving them free healthcare, welfare, education, etc. I would like to see the illegals and anchor babies go back. When the anchor babies become 18 then they can decide if they want to be a U. S. citizen.

I do not want them to go back home. I´m fine with them becoming citizens. But . . .
I want them to respect me, my country, my culture, my borders, my laws and I want them to learn English.
And I want them to quit blaming me for the consequences of the fact that they made the choice to violate our laws for all these years.
This mess is not my fault! It´s the Democrat party´s fault for pimping them all these years and the Democrat party is not going to stop.

Do not call them immigrants. They are invaders. They are here to take what is not theirs. Instead of using guns, they are using the left wing propaganda machine.

Da*n right. There is no legal justification for them to displace people in the legal immigration process. and I well understand the hardships for the children of these illegals. They were put in this unanswerable position by their parents. and this is all the fault of our Government who for years has refused to protect our borders. if they had done so, this situation would not exist. How about deporting a member of Congress in exchange for each illegal alien we allow to stay. Oh, wait, where would they go. No other Country in the World lets people just wander into their territory with no ramification. Maybe if you were able to swim to Australia they would issue an exemption based on your hardship.

They broke the law to get here (I´m fairly certain that what illegal means, breaking the law) they should be rounded up and sent home.
If Americans do something illegal they either pay a fine or go to jail. Why is it that people that break the law to get here are rewarded with the gift of being allowed to stay here and eventually citizenship?

Throughout the history of the immigration laws there has never been a special "path to citizenship" for any group of aliens, other then US military members who are granted immediate citizenship. The "path to citizenship" is something that has been dreamed up recently by the liberal Democrats to get the massive illegal alien population US voting rights ASAP.
The Republicans should never go along with that. What the Republicans should offer to longtime illegal aliens with no criminal records is a conditional immigration status that allows them to stay here indefinitely as long as they abide by US law, authorization to work, and to travel internationally. They should not be eligible for non-emergency public assistance and should not be able to bring foreign family members here.
If a legalized alien with conditional immigration status wishes to apply for permanent residence(a green card) in the future, that alien should first have to qualify for an immigrant visa just as all legal immigrants are required to do. Once a permanent resident the alien can bring his foreign spouse and children here.
Then after completing 5 years as a permanent resident, if the alien wishes, and just as all legal immigrants are required to do, the alien can petition to be naturalized as a US citizen. After being granted US citizenship, just like everyone else, that person will have US voting rights.
Remember the liberal Democrats would not be pushing their "path to citizenship" amnesty if they did not believe that only a small percentage of the legalized aliens would have an epiphany and vote for Republicans.

When is Mexico going to secure their side of the border ? Our immigration laws are nothing like Mexico. Funny, how that works.

The immigration reform bill drawn up by the Senate Gang of 8 would boost the economy and lower the deficit, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says in a report out today. The newly released, and highly anticipated, report from the government’s nonpartisan bookkeeper comes as the Senate debates the bipartisan immigration legislation offered by the Gang of 8 and the House moves forward on a more piecemeal approach.

NEW YORK — The New York Police Department´s widespread spying programs directed at Muslims have undermined free worship by innocent people and should be declared unconstitutional, religious leaders and civil rights advocates said Tuesday after the filing of a federal lawsuit. "Our mosque should be an open, religious and spiritual sanctuary, but NYPD spying has turned it into a place of suspicion and censorship," Hamid Hassan Raza, an imam named as a plaintiff, told a rally outside police headquarters shortly after the suit was filed in federal court in Brooklyn.

While the controversy over the National Security Agency surveillance program has dominated the news recently, concern about the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations remains high and is inching up. Despite the large number of controversies engulfing official Washington, the number of people following the IRS scandal has actually increased in recent weeks.

Mixed-race people are more likely to be considered black by conservatives, who are subconsciously attempting to “justify racial divisions,” said the authors of a new government-funded study. The report, originally released earlier this month, has begun attracting criticism from those who see political bias in the results. The study was conducted by graduate students and faculty in the psychology department of New York University. Researchers asked participants to look at pictures of mixed-race people and say whether they

The Clintons are getting the old band back together again for one last geriatric tour. Hillary 2016. Because 22 years of Clintons dominating the Beltway isn’t enough. Her campaign slogan: “Vote for me. I am a woman. What difference does it make?” The Draft Hillary movement is really taking off. There hasn’t been this much excitement behind a Draft Hillary movement since, well, the last time there was a Draft Hillary movement. Remember that? Back in 2008? When she was the “inevitable nominee?” She was the “most electable” Democrat running? She was the only one who

President Obama´s nonstop fundraising for congressional Democrats is building a huge campaign war chest for next fall, but there is little hope that his party will win back control of the House and make Rep. Nancy Pelosi speaker again, according to an exhaustive new analysis. But the report from the University of Virginia´s Center for Politics also shows that Obama may suffer the fewest losses of House seats for a second-term president since Ronald Reagan in 1986, itself a big victory. "While it would be foolish to rule out any outcome, there is no indication at this

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded.

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan

During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans
