Bi-partisan Opposition To Senate Immigration Reform Bill

According to the latest Rasmussen Poll, public support for the Senate “immigration reform“ bill continues to slide with bi-partisan opposition to the grand bargain.

A Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Monday and Tuesday night found that just 23% of voters now support the bill while 50% are opposed.

Just 29% of Democrats support the measure while 40% are opposed. Among Republicans, support is at 21%, 57% are opposed. Only 17% of those not affiliated with either party support the measure. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of unaffiliateds are opposed.

Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters prefer no bill over the Senate bill.

Seventy-two percent (72%) of voters believe it is Very Important for “the government to improve its enforcement of the borders and reduce illegal immigration.”

Adding pressure to Congress is the fact that voters see this objective as achievable --68% of Americans believe it is possible to reduce illegal immigration.

Where’s the Republican Party in New Jersey on this issue? Leadership is not flying below the radar.
