Keep the HEAT on!!! The strategists who base their political advice on public opinion polls have just had a surprise. A new poll reports that the American people are now more likely to trust Republicans to handle immigration and less likely to trust Democratic plans to offer illegals a path to citizenship (aka amnesty). Many people have believed this for some time. But it is now confirmed in a poll taken by the pro-amnesty Wall Street Journal, so it must be so. The new survey is decisive; 35% say the Republican Party would do a better job on immigration while only 27% say the Democrats would. Thats a dramatic reversal from the previous year. The Wall Street Journal poll also revealed another change in public opinion that should get the attention of candidates. Support for the much-discussed pathway to citizenship has dropped significantly from 64% in April to 53% today. Obama had promised to ease the entry of more illegals this summer, but he obviously has heard from Democrats running for office in November. The Central American kids who crash over our border have made it more difficult to pretend there is no problem. Another pollster, the Polling Company Inc., reports that half of Americans age 65 and over support a zero immigration policy and that three-quarters of respondents believe green cards should be given to fewer than 100,000 immigrants per year. The Polling Company also reports that Independents (47%) are more likely than Republicans (40%) or Democrats (37%) to want zero new immigrants allowed into our country. With colossal impertinence, the Mexican government attacked Texas Gov. Rick Perry for sending National Guard troops to guard our Southern border, saying that Mexico deeply rejects and condemns the deployment. The Mexicans accused Perry of taking this action for his political ambitions. Perry did order 1,000 guardsmen to the border in July in support roles to assist the Texas Department of Public Safety, which Perry believes was necessary to compensate for federal inaction. They are deployed in support roles such as observation and tracking of illegal activity. The Mexico City annual conference of the Telmex Foundation, headed by Mexican billionaire (and New York Times investor) Carlos Slim, included speeches by Hillary Clinton and Facebooks Mark Zuckerberg. Slim was perhaps repaying the honor of having received the 2012 Global Citizen Award from the Clinton Global Initiative. In his so-called keynote speech on Sept. 5 to Slims assembly of global citizens, Zuckerberg took the opportunity to attack Americas laws. He said, We have a strange immigration policy for a nation of immigrants. And its a policy unfit for todays world. We are falling for that CRAP anymore, Zuckerberg!
