Poll: 71%, Including Majority of Dems, Say No Government Benefits for Illegal Newcomers

An overwhelming majority of likely voters, including a majority of Democrats, believe illegal immigrants from Central America should not be eligible for taxpayer-funded government benefits, according to a new poll.

A Rasmussen Reports poll found that 71% "say these illegal newcomers should not be eligible for government services and benefits." Only 16% think "they are entitled to government aid" while 13% are undecided. Even a majority of Democrats (51%) "do not think illegal immigrants should be eligible for government services and benefits" in addition to "91% of Republicans and 75% of unaffiliated voters."

A strong majority (68%) also "say the new illegal immigrants should not have the same legal rights and protections that U.S. citizens have," and that includes a plurality--and a near-majority--of Democrats (49%). The poll found that "89% of GOP voters and 70% of unaffiliateds think illegals should not have the same legal rights and protections that U.S. citizens have."

Truth be said, they have better rights and services than most American Citizens. It all started when a few squeezed into this country, became citizens, got elected ( with the help of bleeding heart liberals ), then started pushing for laws to promote their own.

Then WTF was the 29% thinking?

I agree with you. Obama and the boarder states elected Democrats with Hispanic names.
