New Georgia Poll: 59% Oppose Immigration Bill

A recent InsiderAdvantage Georgia poll indicates that Republicans disapproved of the president’s proposed immigration reform bill currently under consideration in the United States Senate by a 51%-36% margin; Democrats disapproved by a 65%-18% margin; and Independents disapproved by a 62%-18% margin.

Sen. Johnny Isakson is right in being ahead of the curve on this one by advocating over a year ago that securing the border must come first.

It seems to me that even the most ardent advocates in the Senate by now should recognize that regardless of their personal beliefs, in order to get this legislation through both the House and the Senate with Mainstreet America behind it, it is going to have to be border security first as a prerequisite to any immigration reform.
