BERNARD: President Bush-2 outlined immigrant strategy years ago

By Jack Bernard, Peachtree City, Ga. | A recent Gallup study examined long-term trends in immigration attitudes among Americans, a topic perhaps of particular interest to those in Gwinnett County. Surprisingly, it found that the number of Americans who wanted immigration decreased had not changed much in 50 years. Only 38 percent of Americans currently (7-16) want a decrease in immigration versus 33 percent in 1965.
