Now that the race is down to Obama vs. McCain we can start analyzing the important issues that will decide the election. Those issues are plain for everyone to see they include oil prices, the war on terror, health-care and that candidates age/experience. I will get to them in a future article, for now I want to focus on one issue that will not be mentioned in this campaign even though the American voters are very passionate about it: Illegal Immigration.
Not long ago illegal immigration looked like it would be one of the key issues in this election cycle. The American people are fed up with the effects of illegal immigration and they have shown their displeasure by passing tough local laws, by forming citizen groups to patrol the borders and by rejecting the McCain-Kennedy comprehensive immigration reform act.
Polls consistanly show that between 65% and 81% of Americans want something done to reduce illegal immigration. A border fence is wildly popular among Republican voters.
