73% Say Police Should Check to See If Traffic Violators are in the Country Legally

By: Pam On: Nov/11/07 - 15 Comments

And here I have been told that this was just a Republican thing…Looks like it is a bipartisan issue:

  • 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.
  • Thirty-four percent (34%) believe that such a policy might create a temptation for police officers to discriminate, but 58% disagree.
  • An earlier survey found that 77% of American adults do not think illegal immigrants should be allowed to receive a drivers license.
  • Only 11% believe that undocumented immigrants should receive public benefits and services such are rental and housing assistance.
  • 61% of voters under 30 believe that officers should check on the status of traffic violators. Fifty-six percent (58%) of those under 40 believe that illegal immigrants discovered in this manner should be deported.
  • 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.
  • With that in mind, read this article from the LA Times: Discord roils L.A. Unified parent panel….Acrimony with racial overtones has plagued the advisory council. The key issue: whether meetings in Spanish should be allowed.

      Look out for members of La Raza and MeCHa to be the biggest whiners to the Democrats who will try to make the country bend over and clasp the ankles for them.

      Next demand will be to make the nation’s official language Spanish.

      I think we, the people, that are proud of our Military men and women should make those in San Francisco feel as unwelcome in America, as they make our Military feel in San Francisco.

      Perhaps someone needs to explain to Aguiar that part of the reason her kids are failing is BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!! Maybe if she got off her (probably in this country illegally) backside and started to actually learn the language on which this country was founded, instead of refusing to stop speaking the language of third world poverty and crime ridden cesspools, her kids might get the idea that they aren’t going to get jobs doing anything other than manual labor until they learn to speak ENGLISH. The Constitution is NOT written in Spanish. It is written in English. It does NOT SAY “Nosotros los Hombres” it says “WE, the PEOPLE”. Other than Spain (which was a Fascist dictatorship for 40 years and 25 years later not up to the level of development of England as it should be) can anyone name a large Spanish speaking country that isn’t poverty stricken and crime ridden? Why don’t these morons learn that if they want to live in a Spanish speaking country like home, they should just stay there.
