Immigration policy poll breaks stereotypes

[unixronin]

A new Rasmussen Reports poll finds that 58% of Americans polled favor and would support an immigration policy "that would welcome all immigrants except national security threats, criminals and those who would come here to live off our welfare system.”

Here's the really interesting detail:  That support for a "welcoming" immigration policy is stronger among declared Republicans than among declared Democrats.  The idea of a generally welcoming immigration policy, according to the poll, is opposed by 31% of unaffiliated and 28% of Democratic voters, but only by 19% of GOP voters.  How's that for a stereotype turned on its head?

It's just a ploy to avoid tighter border security.
