Illegal aliens say trust us, we'd obey a new immigration law

I’m really not sure how to describe this story. So many adjectives come to mind: astonishing, breathtaking, surprising, laughable.

Somehow, the organization New America Media was recently able to find and contact and survey 1600 illegal immigrants in America. These 1600 people in our country illegally were interviewed in, what else, Spanish.

And what do you think the interviewers found?

I quote from the New American Media’s very own web site:

“Undocumented immigrants by an overwhelming majority are following the debate over immigration reform with close attention and would comply with proposed legislation to legalize their status, including paying stiff fines and fees and undergoing criminal background checks. Eighty-three percent say they would apply for the new “Z” work visa. Their greatest anxiety is over any requirement to return to their country of origin without a guaranteed right to return.”

The results of the survey were announced by an illegal alien’s best friends, Senators Ted Kennedy and Dianne Feinstein who stood side by side at a news conference.

Where, oh where in the world do I begin!

1) The illegal aliens said they would comply with the rules and regulations of the immigration reform bill, if enacted into law. And we should believe them……why?

We should trust someone from another country who has already broken any number of our laws for years and years and years and believe that suddenly they’ll now obey this law?

2) Of those surveyed, 83% said they’d they would apply for the new “Z” work visa, meaning 17% would not. Who do you believe? The 83% or the 17%? That’s what I thought.

3) Their greatest anxiety is having to return to their country of origin. OF COURSE IT IS! If they break the law there, they suffer the consequences. Do it here and our country takes care of you.

4) If this run of the mill news organization could find 1600 illegal aliens in a week, why can’t the federal government? Why the hell isn’t our government following up and arresting these people?

What an absolute travesty. This poll isn’t “historic.” It’s a joke.

Here are more details.
