Found this poll on congressman bart gordon's website and it's really funny how people think the best way to keep america competitive in the world is to stop illegal immigration.

Pass DREAM Act

100%

WOW, really WOW, whoever participated in this poll has ZERO understanding of economics.

Yeah, lol, strenghten the dollar! WHOHOO that will make our exports REALLY competitive! Who doesn't want poor quality American stuff at four times the price!?

Yeah, only 7% want to lower corporate taxes, yeah WHOHOO let's just tax the hell out of our companies until they die and are bough out by the Russian or Chinese government!

Yeah, American truck drivers will keep their job and power the American economy for another hundred years!

People really think that stopping illegal immigration is most important? lmao. I think the poll itself proves which one is actually important--education.

haha, well said. When I saw this poll I really wanted to go and beat someone with my Macroeconomics textbook.

So I guess whoever voted for illegal immigration as top priority doesn't give a damn about any other thing in the world? I'm telling you, it's all about the money. Illegal immigration weakens wages, strengthening the dollar is good for economy... People just think too much about money and enough on other things that matter more... Like how to get US off foreign oil and educating citizens to be smart..
