62% really ok with illegals????. Is that why we have defeated every attempt to give amnesty if only 38% are against amnesty He is dead wrong even in Nov it was bad in America.
Read comments on the article interesting. I wonder if obama is trying to appoint Judge Sonia Sotomayor to keep the Latino vote since they know they will not be able to give amnesty like they have promised! She is a member of the hate group La Raza as well....

Americans are “not concerned” that they may lose jobs to illegal aliens in a tight job market, according to speakers at a panel discussion conducted Thursday in Washington, D.C., by the National Council of La Raza.
Simon Rosenberg, president and CEO of NDN – formerly the New Democrat Network — said that Republicans are now “paying a steep price for demonizing Hispanics” in their “anti-immigration rhetoric” – rhetoric that he said created the “fear of losing jobs to undocumented immigrants of Americans.”
When asked if he still felt that American jobs would not be threatened by undocumented immigrants despite the fact the current unemployment rate is now at a 14-year high of 6.5 percent, Rosenberg told CNSNews.com that he believes undocumented immigrants have taken jobs that Americans “do not want,” but that there “might be” a shift in concern if unemployment rates continue to rise.
David Mermin, a partner at Lake Research Partners, a national public opinion and political strategy research firm hired by La Raza to study American voters, said 62 percent of American voters are now “more interested in converting illegal immigrants into legal taxpayers than deporting them because they might be taking jobs.”
In terms of steps to becoming “legal,” Mermin explain.
Not just losing jobs but forcing wages down as well.
Many jobs that were once decent pay/benefits are barely above min wage with..
No benefits now(Construction,Meat cutting,etc.

Yes they do force wages down. HS and college students looking for that summer job are hard hit by this.
american labor is lazy and have rotten attitude ---- for this i can forgive them.
what i cant forgive is their hatred of unions, the only guys in their corner. DC continues to operate an under the table labor NAFTA at the order of american biz. american labor makes a lota posts on CDF complaining about it.
Politicians of all stripes want amnesty either to beef up their potential voter pool or as a favor for businesses who use illegal labor in order to make an extra buck. Either way it is a mistake to think either dems or reps are in it for the working man, they are in it for themselves and their party.
It has been proven they are taking Union jobs, construction jobs and others that Americans DO work!
Yes, I agree.
I'm saying, it's bull crap that Americans are okay with illegals - taking their jobs.
