Over the weekend, GOPUSA began conducting a survey of grassroots conservatives to get their feelings on the immigration debate and the priorities of the Republican Party. The final results are still being tallied, but so far, nearly 2,400 members of GOPUSA’s Grassroots Survey Team have participated.
The responses are amazing and indicate a thoughtful approach to the issues of illegal immigration and a potential guestworker program. Despite the heated nature of the debate and efforts by the left and even some Republican leaders to label pro-border security advocates as “anti-immigrant,” the grassroots Republican base has a clear understanding of the issue, and responses reveal a possible track to moving the debate forward.
The current survey results are surprising in that, as a whole, they don’t reflect the media’s portrayal of the right as a group which simply wants to “throw the illegals out.” On the contrary, respondents provided (name removed by moderator)ut on what they feel the priorities of the debate should be and also addressed key philosophical questions such as “What is amnesty?”
