Polling Immigration: 57% of Americans Support Arizona’s New Law; 17% Think it’s Not Tough Enough
[ Via: CBS News ]
Public support for Arizona’s controversial new immigration law has increased slightly, a new CBS News poll shows, with 57 percent of Americans characterizing the law as “about right” in the way it addresses the issue of illegal immigration.
Support for the measure increased five points since May. Since then, the Justice Department has filed suit against the law, claiming that it usurps federal authority to enforce immigration laws.
The measure in question, signed into law in April and slated to go into effect later this month, makes it a state crime for a person to be in the country illegally. It also requires local law enforcement to question a person about his or her immigration status during all “lawful stops” if there is “reasonable suspicion” that person may be in the country illegally.
. . . Only 23% of Americans think the law goes too far. For all those on the Left who say this law reminds them of Nazi Germany, does this make us a nation of Nazis? And since we’re already a “nation of immigrants,” we must be a nation of Nazi immigrants, no? — GP
