The voters have spoken . . . and President Obama doesn\u2019t care.<\/p>\nThe voters have spoken . . . and President Obama doesn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
Despite the thrashing Democrats received in an election that was widely seen as a referendum on his policies, President Obama defiantly announced that he plans to carry through on his threat to implement a broad illegal alien amnesty by executive decree.<\/span><\/p>\n The next move is up to the Republicans. The voters turned to them to rein in President Obama\u2019s abuse of executive authority to implement policies that have little support from the American people. In the case of immigration policy, that mandate cuts across virtually all ethnic and political divides.<\/p>\n According to exit polling<\/a> conducted on behalf of FAIR, the new Republican majority in Congress has everything to gain and nothing to lose politically by taking decisive action to block the president\u2019s efforts to grant amnesty and work authorization to millions of illegal aliens. Perhaps most importantly, despite the relentless campaign from amnesty advocates and cheap labor interests telling Republicans they will never capture the Latino vote until they get behind amnesty for illegal aliens, exit polling demonstrates that the opposite is true.<\/p>\n Among the most important findings of FAIR\u2019s exit poll of 806 actual voters in the midterm elections:<\/p>\n FAIR\u2019s exit polling squares with other recent polling data<\/a>, all of which indicate that voters across the spectrum prefer enforcement over amnesty, want overall immigration reduced, and see the current immigration chaos as threat to their way of life. Even a recent in-depth survey of the Latino electorate<\/a>, conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center, supports the contention that politicians and political parties that stand firm on immigration will not be punished by Latino voters.<\/p>\n Thus, the new Republican majority in Congress is in the enviable position of being able to do what is right and politically popular at the same time. The only question is whether they will seize the opportunity.<\/p>\n \n
