Election 2008: THE most important issue

barkway
I am at loss to understand how the Presidential candidates and American people apparently CANNOT see that THE most important issue in the next Presidential election is illegal immigration. Why, you ask? Because it effects ALL other issues they are debating!



Illegal immigration impacts security/terrorism, the economy (both domestic & global), healthcare, education, social security, unemployment, taxes (of all kinds), salaries, small business, corporate valuations and the stock market, housing and development, welfare, crime (and by association costs of prisons), the court systems, traffic congestion (and by association moving violations, impacts from DUI's), police services, fire services, ID theft, population control within our borders (and how that effects global warming), costs of services and utilities, grants and scholarships, sub-prime mortgage mess (yes, they get mortgages!), credit card mess (yes, they have credit cards), insurances of all kinds, American culture (and loss thereof), pop culture (and increasingly bad influences), food safety and agriculture, communicable disease and epidemics, and much more. WHY CAN'T PEOPLE COMPREHEND THIS?? We waste time arguing about peripheral or associated issues one by one when ALL the issues are impacted in some way by these illegal immigrants!



I have never been a "one issue voter" until NOW. Illegal Immigration and its impact on this country is all that matters to me this time around...and if people in this country were either smarter or paying more attention, they would see this as truth.

    • and one more thing:

      I can't for the life of me understand how people (Nevada) consider Mrs. Clinton to be the most experienced candidate for President. Experienced at WHAT...being a carpetbagger Senator for a few years? Being the First Lady? (how that qualifies one for the Presidency escapes me). She is no more experienced than Obama (and he at least is honest and trustworthy).The ONLY Democratic candidate that apparently has real and relevant experience is Joe Biden (and the media refuse to give him equal time or the kind of spotlight they give Clinton and Obama; and it's unfair to voters to do this).
