Amnesty is a vote-killer for GOP, says WashPo poll

A new poll by the Washington Post shows that amnesty is a vote-loser for GOP legislators...

Only 28 percent of independents and moderates said they were more likely to vote for a candidate who backs amnesty...

The poll also showed that the GOP’s opposition to amnesty doesn’t lower their one-in-four support among Latinos...

Sixty-one percent of Latinos told the pollsters that they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who opposed amnesty.

Opposition to amnesty was even stronger among the GOP’s base...

Only 14 percent of Republicans and 10 percent of conservatives said they would be more likely to endorse a pro-amnesty candidate...

The Senate [amnesty S.744] bill would also double the annual inflow of [legal] immigrants to 2 million per year for the next decade, and also provide an amnesty for the almost 12 million [to 40 million] illegal immigrants [illegal aliens] estimated to be in the country.

Polls show strong opposition to the guest-worker programs... roughly 3 to 1 opposition among GOP and swing-voters...
