WASHINGTON, July 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A new poll finds that Nevada voters blame President Biden for the border crisis and oppose efforts by to include a massive amnesty for illegal aliens in a spending bill intended to upgrade the nation's infrastructure. The poll of 401 likely voters in Nevada was conducted by Zogby Analytics on behalf of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) between July 9 and 12.
Democratic leaders are seeking to use the Budget Reconciliation process that allows legislation that has significant impact on the federal budget to bypass normal Senate rules that require 60 votes to bring a bill to the floor. Invoking Budget Reconciliation would allow passage with just 51 votes.
By 46% to 42%, Nevada voters object to the use of this legislative tactic "to enact major immigration legislation." Opposition to including amnesty for millions of illegal aliens cut across all demographic and party lines. Further, voters clearly reject the idea of large-scale amnesty in the midst of unprecedented numbers of new illegal migrants crossing our borders.
Among the key findings of the poll:
"It is clear to people in Nevada that amnesty for illegal aliens has no place in a bill to upgrade our nation infrastructure," said Dan Stein, president of FAIR. "Illegal aliens can in no reasonable way be construed as infrastructure and people of all political stripes have a visceral objection to gimmicking Senate rules to enact social policies, like a massive amnesty, that could never gain passage on their own merits.
"The reckless policies of the Biden administration have created an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis. The voters are very clear: Any senator who yields to pressure from their party's fringe, and resorts to legislative trickery to gain amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, does so at his or her political peril," concluded Stein.
