What matters to me in the election of 2008

One important aspect about this election that has not been discussed as much as the economy, war in iraq, etc., is the issue surrounding illegal immigrants. Illegal immigration is especially important to me because I will eventually be applying for various jobs in order to support myself within the next decade. Who knows, within the next decade, illegal immigration could spread to jobs such as education and business. If I can't get a job, I will be in some serious economic trouble.
I am curious to hear Obama and McCain's stance on immigration, and what they are going to do about it (if they want to do anything at all). I know that Liberal's tend to favor immigration, and Republicans tend to hate immigration, but I am more concerned about how they are going to deal with the illegal immigration, because immigration will always be an issue. You can't stop immigration alltogether. Instead, you need to figure out how to work with it, and I am curious as to how Obama and McCain will work with it, if they want to work with it at all.

Its totally true that you can't just stop illegal immigration, and I'm glad someone else looks at it that way. It's annoying how people running for president or whatever promise to stop it, but there's no way to stop it.
It needs to be worked with.

Totally agree, this issue has remained relatively quiet, and I completely agree about the job market in the future.

Great topic in part because they have such different opinions. It was McCain's immigration issues that almost prevented him from getting the R nomination. You should fight for this issue during our next round of speeches.
