Is it "Immigrants or Aliens"?
Edited on Wed Oct-24-07 08:12 PM by Synnical
The more the merrier, IMO. I know, know, health care costs and all that (and believe me, I know all about it!), but really aren't there bigger issues, say the Occupation of Iraq?

Am I Out of Touch??

This post prompted by the latest online Zogby poll queries:

Do you agree or disagree that states should issue driver licenses without requiring proof of legal residency, such as a valid Social Security card, to make it easier for undocumented immigrants to obtain driver licenses and car insurance?

How supportive would you be of a policy that would allow states to issue a second type of driver license for those who cannot provide proof of residency, which would allow them to drive legally but would not serve as valid state identification?

What should be done about aliens who try to cross at a border check-point and then are identified as being ineligible to enter the United States because of a criminal past in their country of origin or from a previous U.S. visit?

What should the U.S. government do to anyone who attempts to enter this country without proper documentation from a country that the U.S. has identified as a state-sponsor of terrorism?

What should the U.S. government do to 632,000 criminal aliens in this country who have been adjudicated, tried and convicted of a felony by a state or federal court or convicted of a felony in another country or fleeing a felony warrant?

Which of the following groups should be ineligible for U.S. citizenship?

Aliens guilty of one misdemeanor
Aliens with more than three misdemeanors
Any alien who has plea bargained a felony to a misdemeanor
Only those aliens who have committed a felony
All criminal aliens regardless of whether they've committed a felony or a misdemeanor
Other/not sure

According to Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, 25% of the jail population in Los Angeles County are criminal aliens awaiting deportation. Sheriff Baca said that after deportation 60% of those criminal aliens end up back in his jail while the other 40% may or may not end up back in the U.S. What should the federal government do about criminal aliens who are repeat offenders?

Catch and release them
Deport them
Prosecute them to the fullest extent of our federal law

Which of the following groups should be ineligible for U.S. citizenship?

Aliens guilty of one misdemeanor
Aliens with more than three misdemeanors
Any alien who has plea bargained a felony to a misdemeanor
Only those aliens who have committed a felony
All criminal aliens regardless of whether they've committed a felony or a misdemeanor

Which of the following scenarios would you support for locking up criminal aliens? A foreign criminal who...? (Choose all that apply.)

Illegally enters the United States
Re-enters the U.S. after being deported
Commits a felony in the U.S
Smuggles in human cargo
Deals in human trafficking
Deals in drugs or commits a drug-related crime
Engages in gang operations
Commits criminal acts
Crosses into the U.S. to flee prosecution in their own country
