In contrast to the leadership of many ethnic advocacy groups, most members of minority groups think immigration is too high. *Hispanics: 56 percent said it is too high; 7 percent said too low; 14 percent just right. *Asian-Americans: 57 percent said immigration is too high; 5 percent said too low; 18 percent just right. *African-Americans: 68 percent said it is too high; 4 percent said too low; 14 percent just right. Most members of minority groups do not feel that illegal immigration is caused by limits on legal immigration as many ethnic advocacy groups argue; instead, members feel it's due to a lack of enforcement. *Hispanics: Just 20 percent said illegal immigration was caused by not letting in enough legal immigrants; 61 percent said inadequate enforcement. *Asian-Americans: 19 percent said not enough legal immigration; 69 percent said inadequate enforcement. *African-Americans: 16 percent said not enough legal immigration; 70 percent said inadequate enforcement. Most members of minority groups feel that there are plenty of Americans available to fill unskilled jobs. *Hispanics: 15 percent said legal immigration should be increased to fill unskilled jobs; 65 percent said there are plenty of Americans available to do unskilled jobs, employers just need to pay more. *Asian-Americans: 19 percent said increase immigration; 65 percent said plenty of Americans are available. *African-Americans: 6 percent said increase immigration; 81 percent said plenty of Americans are available.

The least reliable poll of 2008. For good reason.
Do you know anything about polling? I'm assuming not.
Compare with a real poll by Gallup. You'll note most Americans are either satisfied with current immigration levels or would support more.
For purposes of re-education (since I have some background in how to do this): Note the absence of politically-loaded questions designed to lead the respondent to an answer -- answers the wingnuts who commissioned this abortion of a survey wanted -- in Gallup's survey, the use of random sampling, rotated questions, phone calls rather than a database of people who go out of their way to participate.
You know, all things professional pollsters use when their checks aren't being cut by Newsmax and pseudo-academics.
You might as well be posting one of those moronic web polls that cable channels take. But at least those don't claim to be scientific.
