Over the past few weeks, right-wing proponents of Arizona’s draconian immigration law inexplicably claimed that the majority of Latinos in Arizona support the new anti-immigrant law. Some examples:Now I know we can settle this charge of mine that "conservatives are liars" if only somebody would actually ask Latinos in Arizona what they think about the law.
Marco Rubio: Polling has shown that Americans of Hispanic descent in Arizona support this bill just as strongly as the general population does.
J.D. Hayworth: Interestingly, a majority of Hispanics agree that this law should be enforced here in Arizona.
Bill O’Reilly: I’m not buying the fact that Hispanic-Americans en masse are against the law.
A new survey released today by Latino Decisions, and commissioned by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) shows Latino registered voters in the state of Arizona are strongly opposed to new immigration law, 1070, which was signed into law on April 23. Overall, 81% of Latinos are opposed to 1070 and 16% in favor. When asked if they thought police would also stop legal immigrants or U.S. born Latinos, 85% of Latino voters said yes, and 72% said they thought police would primarily target people who are Hispanic when deciding who to question.Oh wait...umm...I know! If only somebody would actually ask Latinos in Arizona what they think about the law, and got a second opinion! It must be an outlier!
This Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll of the Arizona immigration law is pretty astounding.Umm....gosh...errm....but Arizonans still overwhelmingly support the bill, right? Latinos included?
Based on what you know or have heard about the new Arizona Immigration Law, do you favor or oppose it?
Favor Oppose Not Sure
ALL 53 36 11
DEM 12 79 9
REP 89 7 4
IND 46 28 26
WHITE 63 26 11
LATINO 15 76 9
BLACK 8 80 12
On the national level, polls show that an overwhelming majority Latinos across the nation support comprehensive immigration reform at the federal level. Eighty-seven percent of Latino respondents said they would not consider voting for a Congressional candidate who was in favor of forcing most of the undocumented population to leave the country. A new poll released this week also reveals that the percentage of all Arizonans who support SB-1070 has fallen from 70 percent to 52 percent.Wait! I know! Marco Rubio and J.D. Hayworth never ever said those things! It's all a lie!
CLONES! GEORGE SOROS FUNDED CLONES! No conservative would EVER lie...
Would they?

You and the rest of the liberals are on the wrong side of this argument and always will be. But thanks for handing the Republicans Congress, we appreciate it.
As you so arrogantly say, "We are a nation of laws or we're not." Illegal immigration is illegal. Round them up. Send them home.
Admit I am right, because you have no argument here that's not based on illegal immigrants staying illegally in the US. Mass deportation is the only option. We have a 17% unemployment rate. Time to clear some deadwood, and that means the Democrats too.
You lose, sir. Good day.
I lose? You mean after Bush's illegal wiretapping, torture, faked intel, a war on false premises, and all the other crap that went on, NOW you are interested in rule of law?
Oh please. Republicans ignored the law for years. Reagan signed the first amnesty for immigrants 27 years ago. And if you respect rule of law so much, I guess you're dropping opposition to the health care reform laws, instead of trying to get it overturned, right?
C'mon Arc. I've known you too long and you can do better.
