CORRECTION: Madness and Immigration

I need to amend the last email: According to CNN, the question regarding whether those polled were in favor of the House bill was asked AFTER they were told of its details. “When several of the House legislation’s proposals were spelled out for poll respondents, 47 percent said they favored the bill and 44 percent opposed it” (http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/03/immigration.poll/index.html).

Thus, the last comments in the email were somewhat premature. Apparently these people were informed (though I would like to see exactly what “several” parts were described, and how far they were “spelled out”). However, this just makes the earlier point about inconsistency stronger, in my opinion. That is, even after hearing that their sympathy could get them charged with a felony, these people simultaneously said that they felt for illegals and that they want people who feel for illegals to be thrown in jail.
