Trent Lott

Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi said recently, "Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem."

Yet a New York Times/CBSNews poll taken May 18-23 found that 69% of Americans believe that illegal immigrants should be prosecuted and deported; 82% of those surveyed said the federal government should be working harder to "keep illegal immigrants from crossing into this country." And according to a Rasmussen poll, by a two-to-one margin (60% to 28%), Americans set a higher priority on gaining control of the nation’s borders than regularizing the status of illegal immigrants, while 75% opined that it’s very important for the United States to "improve border enforcement and end illegal immigration."

Trent Lott should be shown the door during the next election, and with a swift kick in his ass as he passes through.
