“Immigration is a hot, but sensitive topic of debate among the political community right now,â€

I could be true but hard to believe. If this is true, someone please tell me why so many americans are voting the Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. They are all pro-illegal aliens and keep saying they cannot deport 12-20 million illegal aliens already here.

I think majority of Americans do not support Clinton, Obama and the other ilk. The problem is that the media refuses to really bring up the immigration issue. Another problem is how important the issue is to the person. For example, I am concerned about frivolous law suits, but it will not be a deciding factor in my vote. Part of me wonders if the majority of voters are uninformed and try to go with the status quo. You know the ones, the ones arguing Clinton vs Obama. They have been baited into that argument and never have any real substance to add to the debate.

I'll guarantee you the results of this survey will be mostly ignored by the MSM during their discussions of illegal immigration.

I think alot of people are going to vote Democrat no matter what because they are so mad at Bush. Their main goal is to get the Republicans out of the White house. Little do they know that Ron Paul wants to get out of Iraq and stop illegal immigration. They just want to vote for the party not the individual canidate.
