Luis,
Earlier in this thread, you stated that Immigration Issues were not even an "electoral bleep" I provided you counter-examples which you've not addressed. Care to?
---RE-POST---
So the CA's passing of Proposition 187 several years ago doesn't even count for a 'blip on the radar?" This proposition restricted state services for persons who entered the state illegally. It has been held up and nullified through various court cases, but this was more than a 'blip' on the radar.
How about the recent proposition which passed requiring English Immersion in the schools, resulting in a shift away from bilingual education? Was that not a blip? Was that not unrelated to illegal immigration?
How about the role the "illegal immigrant driver's license bill" had here in the recall of Governor Davis and the protests and petitions last year on both sides of this issue?
Are none of these a "bleep on the radar?"
Much to your dismay, the presidential election involves people who live in States other than California.
Show me a national poll, not a poll conducted by an organization whose cause is illegal immigration BTW, that registers the issue anywhere near the war in Iraq, the economy, health care, or education, or that registers at double digits with the AMERICAN public at large.
