    Poll Results: Guns For Immigrants

    Poll Results

    We asked thousands of people whether they thought illegal immigrants should be eligible to own guns in the United States. Arming illegal immigrants sounds like a bad idea for a number of reasons.

    First of all, why would anyone agree to give a criminal a gun? They are ILLEGAL immigrants. They already have shown that they are ready to break any laws necessary to get what they want. Imagine the laws they could break once they have weapons?

    4% of Americans think Illegal Immigrants SHOULD Be Eligible to Own Guns in the United States.
    96% of Americans think Illegal Immigrants SHOULD NOT Be Eligible to Own Guns in the United States.

    The votes coming thru so far indicate that the vast majority of people feel that those who are not United States citizens SHOULD NOT Be Eligible to Own Guns in the United States.

    Fortunately, there are major well-funded allies on the side of the American citizens who took our poll. The NRA is a powerful lobbying body that protects the American people from those who challenge our 2nd Amendment rights.

    Poll Results: Military Service For Immigrants

    Poll Results

    We asked thousands of people whether they thought illegal immigrants should be able to join a branch of the United States Military. The results are shown below…

    For those who think that illegal immigrants should be able to serve in the military, we say that doing the right thing doesn’t change the fact that they are here ILLEGALLY.

    There is also something terrifying about arming large groups of illegal immigrants, giving them advanced weapons training, and then releasing them back into the U.S. once they’ve completed their service.

    19% of Americans think illegal immigrants SHOULD be able to join a branch of the United States Military.
    81% of Americans think illegal immigrants SHOULD NOT be able to join a branch of the United States Military.

    The votes coming through so far indicate that the vast majority of people feel that those who are not United States citizens SHOULD NOT be eligible to join the United States Military.

  • Poll Results: Football Players and the National Anthem

    Poll Results: Football Players and the National Anthem

    Poll Results

    We asked thousands of people whether they felt Football Players where disrespecting Veterans when protesting during the National Anthem. The results probably won’t surprise you.

    The average NFL player makes $2.1 million, according to Forbes.
    Active duty soldiers up to E6 make less than $40K, starting out at less than $20K a year.

    Many Americans feel that’s reason enough to resent the methods the NFL players are using to protest. Their actions seem to disrespect the flag as well as the national anthem and by proxy, the military that defends those things and their right to protest.

    Even some businesses, like restaurants and bars, refuse to air NFL games as a way to conduct their own protests.

    Here are the results so far…

    96% of Americans think Football Players ARE disrespecting Veterans when protesting during the National Anthem.
    4% of Americans think Football Players ARE NOT disrespecting Veterans when protesting during the National Anthem.

    These results show that the protests by NFL players are completely failing. If they had a message to share, it was missed by the American public. Let’s hope they rethink the negative impact they’re making on their sports teams and their fellow Americans.

  • Poll Results: Social Security for Illegal Immigrants

    Poll Results: Social Security for Illegal Immigrants

    Poll Results

    We polled thousands of Americans. SSI benefits come from Americans who have paid into it through long years of hard work. And, while Americans are happy to help those who help themselves, poll results show that they would prefer those benefits go to other Americans who have earned them or who suffer from a disability.

    One of the most common arguments is that illegals by default cannot get SSI, because they are illegal aliens and don’t have the social security numbers needed to claim SSI to begin with. We wish it was that easy.

    Anyone working in the US needs authorization to do so. In the US a Social Security Number (SSN) is a work authorization. However, an SSN is for American citizens only. Illegal aliens get a Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), which looks just like an SSN, but states clearly that it isn’t to be used for the purposed of employment.

    This is a fairly recent law that most Americans don’t know about, and one which will go far to prevent some of the SSI exploitation we see today. This is the law that prevents anyone not authorized to work within the US from 2004 on from claiming Social Security benefits. Basically, anyone who worked in the US — even illegally — before 2004 can still claim SSI benefits.

    Another issue is sponsorship. Those who come here with a sponsor can file for Social Security benefits based on the status of their sponsor. It’s the sponsor’s income and not their own which is used to determine the amount and eligibility for SSI benefits. That means people who come here late in life could get SSI without ever having worked in America. It also means that children who were made naturalized citizens because they were born on American soil can become the sponsor of their parents. Those parent may then file for SSI benefits using their grown children as sponsors.

    93% of Americans DO NOT think illegal immigrants should get Social Security benefits.
    7% of Americans DO think illegal immigrants should get Social Security benefits.

    So far, 93% of Americans polled do NOT think illegal immigrants should be eligible for Social Security Benefits. Just 7% of Americans are willing to share their Social Security with those who come into America illegally.

  • Poll Results: Can We Save America

    Poll Results: Can We Save America

    Can We Save America From the Deep State Without a Civil War?

    Poll Results

    We asked thousands of people whether they felt we can save America without a civil war. Americans are constantly being pushed for change, both from within and from without. The result is a constant hyped stress level across the board.

    With pressure for change from within as well as from the outside, civil war seems inevitable to some. The American Civil War of 1861 officially began as the Confederates attacked Union soldiers. But long before then, there was strife in America over many hot issues, much like there is today.

    Although one of the main issues of the Civil War was slavery, it really boiled down to human rights and the economy, where changing the stance on one would have serious impact on the other.

    Today, there are still human rights issues up for debate, and some of those do impact the economy. Mass shootings, immigration issues and conflicts over gender and marriage, are unfortunately common issues that face Americans today.

    Diplomacy is and should always be the first step to resolution on a national level, but it may not always be the last. So, as an American, what do you think? America is in trouble, and we want to know if you think it can be saved without a full on civil war.

    The results are in…

    56% of Americans polled think we CAN save America without a civil war.
    44% of Americans polled think we CAN NOT save America without a civil war.

    These are telling figures. The majority of people think that America can be saved without a civil war. But the majority is slim. Not since the last civil war have tensions been this high.

    We suspect that the majority of people who answer that we CAN NOT avoid a civil war also believe that they are up against an extremely covert and powerful Deep State embedded in every level of media, government and law enforcement. Regardless, it’s a daunting consideration.

  • Poll Results: America More Divided Today

    Poll Results: America More Divided Today

    Poll Results

    We asked thousands of people whether they felt America was more divided than ever. The results probably won’t surprise you.

    The question is whether America is more divided than ever, but it’s not as easy to answer as one might think. A century ago, or even a couple of decades ago, Americans weren’t able to voice their opinions so loudly or clearly. It wasn’t that they didn’t think about it; they just didn’t have a place to voice them.

    In fact, communication from one geographical location to the next took so long that when the slaves were freed, news of it didn’t reach some of the most southern states until years after it was done. Today, learning about laws that might be passed takes just a few clicks of a mouse or touchpad.

    If you had to ask Americans what the hottest issue was before the Civil War, they would say slavery. Today, if we had a civil war, Americans would be hard pressed to tell you ONLY one issue that started it.

    So is America more divided today? Would we have been this divided centuries ago, if we had the level of access to information we have now?

    The poll results are in…

    94% of Americans think we ARE more divided than ever.
    6% of Americans think we ARE NOT more divided than ever.

    Now that we know that the majority of people feel America IS more divided than ever, the real question is what can be done about it.  More coverage on this important topic coming soon.

  • Poll Results: Student Loan Program Eligibility for Illegal Immigrants

    Poll Results: Student Loan Program Eligibility for Illegal Immigrants

    Poll Results

    We asked thousands of people whether they thought illegal immigrants should be eligible for student loan programs. The U.S. government subsidizes the administration of these loans with taxpayer money. This is a difficult question, so the results are more mixed than we’d expect.

    28% of Americans think illegal immigrants SHOULD be eligible for student loan programs.
    72% of Americans think illegal immigrants SHOULD NOT be eligible for student loan programs.

    Part of the reason many people may feel that illegal immigrants should be allowed to take out student loans is because the interest rate on student loans is high, and they’re relatively safe loans for lenders. This money makes its way back into the U.S. economy in most cases. But that’s only if the borrower repays the loan.

    What are some reasons illegal immigrants should NOT be given student loans? First of all, if they’re deported, they are likely to default on their loan payments. This makes an illegal immigrant a higher risk to lenders. Also, without a social security number, it’s difficult to track and ensure that illegal immigrants are paying their loans off or whether they qualify for credit in the first place.

    The most likely outcome of an illegal immigrant getting a college education is that they return to their country and abandon their debt, leaving the taxpayers to pay for their education.

    Would you vote yes or no on this challenging dilemma?

  • Poll Results: Free Education for Illegal Immigrants

    Poll Results: Free Education for Illegal Immigrants

    Poll Results

    We asked thousands of people whether they thought illegal immigrants and their children should receive free education funded by U.S. taxpayers. We’re mostly talking about pre-kindergarten through high school education, because we’ve covered college education in a separate poll.

    21% of Americans think illegal immigrants and their children SHOULD receive free education.
    79% of Americans think illegal immigrants and their children SHOULD NOT receive free education.

    The votes coming through so far indicate that the vast majority of people feel that those who are not United States citizens SHOULD NOT be eligible for free education, and neither should their children.

    This is a complicated question because of all the complexities of illegal immigrant life. Many of them do in fact pay state, local, and federal taxes because they’re withheld from their paychecks (even if they’re using fraudulent social security numbers in many cases). So many of them are in fact paying for the education that their families are receiving. However, many of them do just work for cash and do not pay taxes.

    But if illegal immigrants and their children go uneducated, they are much more likely to cause problems in the communities that they live in. A well educated student is much less likely to become involved in drugs, gangs, or other illegal activity. But that is not a great argument, because they are not supposed to be in this country in the first place.

    Most people believe that the word ‘illegal’ determines how we should treat this matter. If someone is in this country illegally, they should not receive the benefits that legal citizens receive. They should instead be deported. It’s a very complex problem, but our readership seems to agree with this sentiment.

    If you were voting on this poll today, how would you vote?

  • Poll Results: Illegal Immigrant Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Eligibility

    Poll Results: Illegal Immigrant Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Eligibility

    Poll Results

    We paid to conduct a scientific poll on whether respondents believe illegal immigrants should be eligible to receive supplemental security income (SSI). This program provides extra income for people who have disabilities, are blind, or are over 65. Many of the people who are on SSI have paid into the program over years of working when they were able to. Here are our results.

    8% of Americans think illegal immigrants SHOULD be eligible to receive supplemental security income benefits.
    92% of Americans think illegal immigrants SHOULD NOT eligible to receive supplemental security income benefits.

    The votes coming through so far indicate that the vast majority of people feel that those who are not United States citizens SHOULD NOT be eligible to receive supplemental security income benefits.

    This comes as no surprise. Most people don’t believe that illegal immigrants should take more of taxpayer money than they’re already receiving. Illegal immigration costs millions of taxpayer dollars and the amount keeps growing as the problem of illegal immigration expands with each passing day.

    By giving away more benefits, the U.S. is encouraging more illegal immigration. The problem will continue until the American government decides to stop giving handouts to people who are in this country illegally. What do you think?

  • Poll Results: Illegal Immigrant Subsidized Housing Eligibility

    Poll Results: Illegal Immigrant Subsidized Housing Eligibility

    Poll Results

    We paid to conduct a poll on whether people believe that illegal immigrants should be eligible to receive government subsidized housing from the U.S. government. These taxpayer funded programs provide money for people who cannot afford to house themselves. The results of our poll are below.

    11% of Americans think illegal immigrants SHOULD be eligible to receive government subsidized housing.
    89% of Americans think illegal immigrants SHOULD NOT be eligible to receive government subsidized housing.

    The votes coming through so far indicate that the vast majority of people feel that those who are not United States citizens SHOULD NOT be eligible to receive government subsidized housing. Most people believe that they should not be in the country at all, let alone being given free or low cost housing.

    It’s no secret that there is a housing crisis in this country. Prices are rising, and honest, hardworking Americans are having a harder time paying their mortgages since many wages are not rising along with cost of living. Any housing assistance programs should be given to these hardworking Americans first, not illegal immigrants.

    There are some on the left who support giving housing to poor people who’re fleeing their native countries. The question is clear – who will pay for it? The answer is, the hardworking conservative voters who make up the silent majority in this country.

    How do you stand on this issue?
