VOTERS WANT MORE DEPORTATIONS
(Mr. SMITH of Texas asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, a recent public opinion poll shows
that the American people repudiate President Obama's immigration
policies. The new Rasmussen Reports national survey found that 62
percent believe the Federal Government is not doing enough to deport
illegal immigrants, up 10 points from a year ago. This is the American
people's response to the President's executive amnesty orders.
Furthermore, over half feel that illegal immigrants with children
born in the U.S. should not be exempt from being sent home. Also, 54
percent think that a child of an illegal immigrant parent should not
automatically become a citizen, and an overwhelming 83 percent do not
feel illegal immigrants should get government services.
The American people know that illegal immigration is not in America's
best interest.
