According to a new Rasmussen Reports poll published today, only 22% of Americans now support the current bill in the Senate. Again, the opposition is across the board: "Among the public, there is a bi-partisan lack of enthusiasm for the Senate bill. It is supported by 22% of Republicans, 23% of Democrats, and 22% of those not affiliated with either major party. It is opposed by 52% of Republicans, 50% of Democrats, and 48% of unaffiliateds. From an ideological perspective, the bill is opposed by 59% of conservatives, 54% of liberals, and 45% of political moderates."
Perhaps even more indicative is that only 32% believe it would be better to pass the current bill than nothing at all, and that 71% of Americans believe that if this one passes another bill would be necessary to actually focus on border security and a reduction of illegal immigrations.
Funny, that's what the supporters of this bill are saying is supposed to be done with this bill!
So, what we have here is that the American people (in large numbers and from all political affiliations) don't believe this current bill will actually do what it's supposed to do, and don't want to see it passed.
Naturally, the Senate is going to try anyway. Maybe you should contact your Senators and clue them in...
There's my two cents.
