This is ridiculous. Wasn't there a poll earlier this year that showed that the majority of Americans support a pathway to citizenship?

I really hate to be a pessimist. >.>
But let's face the reality. From what I have seen all those immigrant news (even legal immigration), I see more negative remarks and negative poll results. IF you don't believe me, go to NY Times about immigration parts, and majority I see is angry US citizens.
Yeah I know they can be all manipulated and made up but in a way I think it shows some truth in it when many poll results look the same in big media.
All these Americans are being brainwashed that we are sucking them to dry all their resources(NOT TRUE in my opinion because many of us do contribute large bottom work force) and we spend their tax money for our education. (NOT TRUE in my opinion because many of us do pay taxes as well.) They don't understand what we go through because they never experienced life without car, financial aid, health care, and basic human rights.
They were never born in countries that treat their citizens crap and they complain like big babies. They probably even didn't visit countries that has no water, electricity, enough nutrient foods, safe transportations, no educations, and corrupt governments.
And if you surf a lot, you will also find many anti immigrant sites and discussion forums. Their community looks quite big, and in fact some of them might even be spying here and read this post. Well, they can speak their opinions freely in public because they have everything they need as US citizens, but we can't really speak up for our rights
BECAUSE:
1. Many of us are damn busy with work and living. After hours of labor, we go to sleep and wake up and go for work and repeat these cycles.
2. We are afraid of being deported if arrested for our rights.
Just a sad truth.
What I see from all the news, other discussion forums, all those vicious and ignorant comments, shows many are against DA. They just generalize or brainwash other Americans that it is just a another way for amnesty. We all know it is not true and there are many conditions that require, but believe it or not, you will find there are quite many inflexible minds and stubborn.
You can even see how America supports Glenn Beck. That guy is really a joke. I can't even believe there are people worshipping him
I know that there are some that support for us and know what we go through. But I wonder how many of them there are in terms of whole population.
