Again a line from a sixties song comes to mind, "Where have all the flowers gone?"
Democrats want tougher immigration enforcement: "(In) a new Quinipiac poll regarding immigration ...a majority of respondents agree that children of illegal immigrants should not be granted birthright citizenship (48 percent to 45 percent). The pollsters (also) asked..: "Do you think immigration reform should primarily move in the direction of integrating illegal immigrants into American society or in the direction of stricter enforcement of laws against illegal immigration?"
Predictably among Republicans 87 percent favor stricer enforcement. The surprise comes among registered Democrats and independents who favor stricter enforcement by margins of 50 percent to 39 percent and 68 percent to 24 percent respectively. This means that...a majority of Democrats and more than two-thirds of independents want the Obama administration to focus on enforcement of the current immigration laws rather than trying to find ways of providing illegals with amnesty."

The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
