FLORIDIANS DON’T LIKE BUSH’S GUESTWORKER PROGRAM

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 9, 2005 07:50 AM

A poll sponsored by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and Florida Times-Union found strong opposition in Florida to President Bush’s guestworker/amnesty proposal:

Two-thirds of likely voters in Florida would oppose a plan to allow some undocumented immigrants to live and work legally in the United States, according to a new poll conducted for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and Florida Times-Union.

That puts them at odds with President Bush, who has advocated a guest-worker program that would allow at least some undocumented immigrants the right to live and work legally in the United States.

The survey also found that likely voters oppose, by a more than 50-point margin, allowing states to issue driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.

Last week, a Field Poll found that Californians also oppose (62% to 35%) giving driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.

At least Bush’s Open Borders policies will help Republicans pick up crucial Hispanic votes, right? Apparently not in Florida:

In the Sun-Sentinel poll, Hispanics, who made up 15 percent of the respondents, were no more supportive of pro-immigration changes than other groups polled. Only two in 10 Hispanics favored a law allowing undocumented immigrants to work legally in the country. Only two in 10 favored issuing driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants. And only 38 percent of Florida’s Hispanics who are likely voters said they thought immigration helped the United States.
