Should Should Not Depends Unsure

That doesn't seem like a vast majority. It seems like a good sized minority. I will fully agree that the war is being mishandled, and would be one of those in the 70% that says that.
The polling numbers are a bit vague on the specifics of the immigration bill, however, I did find this link which gives a wide breakdown of what the US public seems to want.
Polling report on immigration
Again, I don't believe in governing by polls. I am just shocked that the politicians are puching so hard for this particular brand of immigration reform when the populace is so much against amnesty in general and want real border enforcement.
