Most Americans believe illegal immigrants should be allowed to become guest workers and eventually U.S. citizens, but Congress should do more to close the border to stop more illegals entering the country, according to a new poll published on Tuesday.Our next clue that there's something wrong is when we look at one of the questions that was asked:
The nationwide poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, found that by a margin of 69 percent to 27 percent, American voters say illegal immigrants should be allowed into a guest worker program with the ability to work toward citizenship over a period of several years. Such a guest worker program had wide support among voters of all political stripes.
15. Currently illegal immigrants cannot apply for citizenship. If the law were changed to allow illegal immigrants to register into a guest worker program, should that program offer them the ability to work toward citizenship over a period of several years?The results: 69% yes, 27% no.

There would be no need for question 15 if the feds had done their job in the first place. Deport every single criminal now. Get their prints first. Prison if they return. Build the dang WALL. If our border wall was as dense as bush's head, no immigration problem.
