I am pretty sure most here agree Obama is a complete disaster on illegal immigration, but Romney is not far behind. But as long as politicians get accustomed to the fact that you only have to be "slightly" better than your opponent on illegal immigration in order to win our vote, then we're not doing our job in instilling fear into their heads. That our vote is not to be taken for granted simply because you're not the other guy. We want to profoundly change the way this government treats us right? Both parties view their voters the same way and take them for granted.

Imagine Romney spies scouring this forum looking to gauge our opinion. What they might take away is that their candidate is safe because so many here will vote for him no matter what. And so they report back and they decide there's little urgency for him to change position on illegal immigration because they'll vote for him no matter what it seems.
