* Sixty-one percent of Americans — and 64 percent of registered voters — said they favored the law in a survey of 1,016 adults conducted May 6-9 by the McClatchy-Ipsos poll.
* Some 73 percent of those surveyed by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press said they approved of the provision that requires people to provide proof of their legal status, compared with 23 percent who disapproved. A further 67 percent were in favor of allowing police to detain anyone unable to verify their legal status, while 62 percent supported police having the power to question anyone they believed may in the country illegally.
* A NBC/WSJ poll found sixty-four percent favor this law, while 34 percent oppose it. But that poll also found those numbers are essentially reversed among Latinos -- with 70 percent of them opposing the law, and only 27 percent supporting it.
Despite what can only be described as overwhelming support throughout the country, local and state governments controlled by Democrats continued to pass resolutions condemning the law or calling for boycotts. The Obama administration, moreover, has suggested it will launch a federal investigation of the law and perhaps a court challenge.

The other 27% are all elected politicians and don't have a clue as to what is right for America. They should all be voted out in November and I do mean ALL.
Won't happen... get over it... just let the country die in financial debacle... Unfortunately its what probably has to happen for everyone to wake up even the politicians who think their above the law and know they will get paid for life for even 1 year of service with the government... Also can someone tell me how can you have civil rights or any rights walked over by this immigration law if your not even a legal citizen, in which you have to be to have rights in that country anywhere... Also can someone tell me why our country rather worry about other nations or other people who come to this country legally or illegally and get better things and more stuff done for them over their own citizens who pay for them to be where there at or what they have?
