SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll professed to find that a majority of Americans supported amnesty for illegal immigrants. That is not hard to do, given how the survey was conducted. The polsters asked to speak only with the youngest adult at home; over-sampled Democrats by at least 4 percent; used the word ``undocumented'' rather than ``illegal;'' questioned illegal immigrants, at least 3 percent of the population; and conditioned amnesty on requirements that can't be met. Other than that, I am sure it was an accurate poll. Beware of polls done by liberal media organizations that have an agenda of their own.
