81% of Californians extremely or somewhat concerned about illegal immigration

A Field Poll of registered California voters reveals that:

49% are "extremely" concerned about illegal immigration...
32% are "somewhat" concerned about illegal immigration...

And, asked if Arnold should declare a "border emergency", these percentages said yes:

44% overall
62% among Republicans
35% of Latinos

On the downside, 56 percent oppose civilian border patrols, and 41% support. However, support grows the closer to the border you get.

And, many more might support a California border patrol.

"On the downside, 56 percent oppose civilian border patrols,..."

This shows how powerful the MSM's propaganda and misrepresentation campaign -- 'vigilantes', etc -- was and is. There is really no good reason for anyone to have an objection to ordinary Americans doing what the recent Minuteman Project did, for example. I mean, what is the greater evil?
