Polls and immigration

I know I am a broken record on this topic, but Borderline has a good discussion of the use of polling to determine what Americans think about Latino immigration. The Republican leadership has used polls to try and convince Bush (and others who like the Senate bill) that Americans want enforcement only. The bottom line is that wording of the questions means everything.

"The bottom line is that wording of the questions means everything."

I spend two weeks on this point alone in my Public Opinion class!

I think a good study of the abuse of polls could be done focusing on the immigration debate alone.
