Well, it DID pass in Arizona, so some populous majority of some kind obviously wanted it somewhere...
Not so sure that other parts of the US have the same grasp of the situation, assuming you don't live in a border state.
But what do I know? My closest southern border crossing is to Canada...
The East Valley Tribune?
It's a Pew poll, but somehow assuming that a majority of the country supporting a law that will never affect them carries any weight seems meaningless. Far more telling would be polls along the border, where latino citizens are more numerous than illegals (or even whites in some cases).The East Valley Tribune?
I did my own informal poll, and found that 95% of people wish scientists were working on a way to transform sand into ice cream.
Cmon government! Get some research going on that!
I was against the first draft because it used language like "reasonable su ion", which one might reasonably conclude would lead to racial profiling. The amended version removes this language and merely gives local law enforcement the ability to enforce the federal law that's been on the books for decades. Any feined outrage about it now is just political theater.
Windsor? I went there once back in 99. The Canadians were quite rigorous about checking my paperwork, much more so than the American side. I'm sure that changed after 9/11.
The majority of people didnt want Civil Rights also.
What is your point?
o pot my name is kettle...
Weird, because the Canadians never gave me a hard time, it was US customs coming back that always got me stopped.
In my own highly unscientific talks with people around me most people I know support the law but worry about the way it will be enforced by actual human beings, regardless of how the new draft is worded. There are good cops out there, and there are racist ass cops out there.
I was one of the 1% that were undecided.
Not sure I'm ready for gritty ice cream.
It's a Phoenix paper, Dan. Fairly relevant to the discussion. Sit down, now.The East Valley Tribune?
is this a might makes right claim ?
ppl still beleive in polls?
You should go check out the voting (by party) for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Did I mention it's free?I was one of the 1% that were undecided.
Not sure I'm ready for gritty ice cream.
After all, it is the government providing it.
The intellectually honest answer would be that many of the southern democrats eventually became republicans and the south became soild red states...
Is that what the schools of indoctrination teach you?
i think that is actually what history taught him. maybe it was an ethnic studies class that leans towards painting whites as oppressors.
There's a reason that this nation doesn't operate on the principle of pure majority rule; there's an enduring brilliance to the Framers' decision to make this a Cons utional/democratic republic.
, we can even elect a President who lost the national popular vote . . . .

typical response to news board liberals don't like: move along, nothing to see here.
I'm sure most americans supported slavery back in 1860 as well
are you denying it?
Robert KKK Byrd voted against it. He's still a Dem in office, no?
Oh, and Al Gore Sr. voted against it.
Are you still intellectually honest?
