Madam Speaker, the immigration tide has turned against the administration. A recent Quinnipiac poll found that 60 percent of voters disapprove of the way President Obama is handling illegal immigration. Fifty percent of Democrats and 87 percent of Republicans now agree that immigration reform should, quote, ``move in the direction of stricter enforcement of laws against illegal immigration.'' While the Obama administration sues to stop Arizona's immigration enforcement law, a CBS poll shows that 73 percent of Americans now say the law is just right or doesn't go far enough. Across the country, candidates are running on pro-enforcement, no amnesty platforms. While the Obama administration is moving in one direction, the American people are moving in the other. ____________________
