Chambliss, Isakson Must Respect the Will of the Voters, Says FAIR

By Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)

WASHINGTON, June 19, 2013 — /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — A statewide poll of likely Georgia voters finds strong opposition to a bill before the U.S. Senate that would grant amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens and dramatically increase overall immigration to the United States. According to the poll, 55 percent of Georgia voters oppose S.744, the Gang of Eight immigration bill – including 34 percent who said they are “strongly opposed.” Only 32 percent of voters indicated that they support the bill and only 10 percent said they “strongly support” it.

The poll also indicated that Georgians disagree strongly with the Gang of Eight’s priorities. Under S.744, amnesty for illegal aliens would begin within six months of enactment, while the provisions of the bill promising enhanced immigration enforcement would not have to be implemented for a decade or more. Only 16 percent of Georgia voters favor this approach, while 79 percent stated that border security, employment verification, or deportation of illegal aliens should be the “highest priorities” of an immigration overhaul.

The poll of 500 likely voters was conducted on June 12 and 13 by the national polling firm Pulse Opinion Research on behalf of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The poll has a margin of error of +/-4.5 percent.
