The LA Times has an interesting article: "In the first-ever public opinion poll of illegal immigrants, an overwhelming majority said they are intently following the Senate immigration debate and would comply with a proposed bill that would require them to pay fees and fines, undergo background checks and pass English exams to gain legal status."
Does anyone else find this to be utter and completely inaccurate? In my opinion this is the absolute worst polling data published in the popular media in over a decade. Of course illegals are going to pretend to want to obey the law, but how can we trust a group that is defined by breaking federal law?

What these criminal apologists fail to realize is that the very act of entering the United States without permission is a violation of criminal law. I salute the government for doing something to enforce this all-to-often violated law of the land.

Separately, immigrant advocacy organizations are suing the government, saying that it had no legal standing to add administrative records to what has traditionally been a database for criminal warrants. Disregarding a deportation order is a violation of administrative, not criminal, law.
