I'm not talking about people in these forums, but Americans from L.A. to N.Y. I haven't seen the latest gallup polls, but I think I heard somewhere that most Americans care more about the never ending war in Iraq, or gov't corruption, or that Republican little boy sex scandal, than they do immigration. Can someone answer my question, with proven facts?

i think that if they really care about immigration they would have done something about it before, why now when there's an estimated 13-15 million undocumented immigrants? why didn't they do it before when there were only 5-8 million? if illegal immigration was a treating as they say it is, then the government should've made war against illegal immigration instead of Iraq that had nothing to do with terrorist attacks!

i'm in touch approximately letting the undesirable into the rustic to paintings, in spite of the undeniable fact that, they could come into the rustic legally. The are far greater than 3 million unlawful immigrants in this u . s .. That my chum is termed an invasion in the different u . s . in the international. in some unspecified time sooner or later we could stress our government of whom we voted for to enforce our rules. My city is speedy to give up my son for smoking a cigarette however a similar officers stress by using the day exertions pickup element all day and don't something to ascertain out no rely if or no longer they're here legally or no longer. Why do they try this? in view this is a federal regulation and not a close-by regulation, as quickly as we enable cities to enforce the regulation then issues will replace.

It is relative. I think the most recent poll I saw ranked Illegal immigration up there in the top 5.
Yes, typical Americans do care about illegal immigration since it affects a great many states-- LA and NY cities included.

I think popular consensus is that most people are more concerned with this war... but the government has been able to blind some with all this rhetoric..... about this fence, about illegals etc..... to keep them stirred up without having them rise up in revolt to a frenzied degree about this war in IRAQ... There is much Racism in America. It is shameful. I agree that people being here illegal potentially cause a major national security problem. We need to know who resides here on our soil....but the have created the system that virtually makes it impossible to become legal. This system was left as such by our government to exploit and pilfer the people from Mexico.....our governments greed is what allowed the attacks of 911. In essence while trying to keep the North American Indians in their place where the white man still thinks they belong....... They created the perfect atmosphere for terrorist to come on our soil and kill. Possibly if the American Government had done right by our Neighboring Mexican Indians 911 would not have happened. I AM NOT A RACIST I AM A REALIST.

I think Americans who live in places that are highly populated by illegal immigrants may care about it more than others, but most Americans do care. If the typical American didn't care about it, the politicians wouldn't be focusing on it so much right now. They know it is an important issue to a lot of people and their stance on it may effect the election.

I KNOW that the average American cares a great deal about immigration. If you really believe that we don't, you are a fool.
Lou Dobbs on CNN is always putting the polls up about where immigration concerns are among the highest where Americans are impacted.

NEW YORK — An overwhelming majority of Americans think illegal immigration (search) is a very or somewhat serious problem for the country today, and over two-thirds favor using the United States military to stop illegal immigrants from entering the country, according to the latest FOX News Poll. Almost equal numbers say their concern about illegal immigration is based on homeland security and terrorism as say their concern is about jobs and the economy.

Yes. The typical American cares very much about illegal immigration. Unfortunately, the spineless cowards in Washington DC are NOT typical Americans. They're such jerks !!

Well, enough people do that a lot of phone calls got made, enough letters got written, and enough people spoke out and contacted their representatives to light a fire under em to get some legislation passed to deal with the problem....border states are taking issue with the problem of illegal immigration, and good show on em for doing so. SOMEbody had to say something...this whole thing's getting stupid...

We have discussions while sitting out at the fire in our neighborhood on the weekends. They almost always come around to the issue of immigration. I would say, yes, most Americans are worried about it, in one way or another.
