Please Sir, May I Have Another
And the survey says:
Two-thirds [of Arkansans] said illegals should be denied taxpayer-funded social and medical services, and nearly six in 10 agreed that the U.S. border with Mexico should be shut down.
However, 75 percent of respondents also agreed that illegal immigrants who are already employed and otherwise law-abiding should be given guest worker status and provided an opportunity to earn citizenship.
Hardly as schizophrenic as it might initially sound. Looks to me like the majority doesn't have a big problem with the ones who are already here & who are productive citizens. But we'd like to shut down the gravy train AND the borders so we don't attract more and more.
I wouldn't mind increasing the legals, as long as there's a corresponding decrease in the illegals. Our elected officials might take note.
We've had just about enough of their turning a blind eye to the problem.
