The Silent Majority (80 percent) want illegal immigrants to have legal status or a path to citizenship. Jackoffs like Cruz and his tard troops are risking waking up that giant and being swatted like a gnat.
That number was proven false on this very board by another member just last week when the then touted number was 67%.
It's never been proven false.
And last I checked, 67% is still a supermajority. Even so, it is lower than the truth.
A poll going back two years, right up to February 8 of this year:
Immigration
Legal status or citizenship is 59 + 19 = 78 percent.
"Deport them" = 18 percent. They are on the losing side, big time.
Poll Roundup Majority of Americans Support Immigration Reform With Citizenship
Gallup
June-July 2013
- 88% of Americans support allowing immigrants to become citizens
- 83% of conservatives support allowing immigrants to become citizens
Plenty more evidence in the link.
- 36% believe that GOP “border first” arguments are a legitimate concern, compared to 59% who called it an “excuse to block reform.” Even among Republicans, 29% of respondents called waiting for border security an excuse
Cruz is risking waking up a Silent Majority that will steamroll right over his sleazy, pandering-to-the-bigots face.
