Or is the immigration issue more important than winning the Whitehouse?

Only for those with integrity.

I notice that candidates divide this issue into two parts:

1. Punishing Illegals.
2. Securing Our Borders.

In the Dem debate, no one wanted to talk about #1 and everybody wanted to talk about #2.

Do you think the GOP debate will be the same -- or will our candidates talk about punishing and deporting illegals?

This doesn’t have to be one way or the other. Opposing illegal immigration and clamping down on businesses that hire illegal immigrants is not anti-Latino.

We have candidates in this coming presidential election who endorse this tactic, and IMHO, if Republicans are going to garner the Latino vote, they’re going to do it far moreso with Latino immigrants who wanted to come to this country. Who came to this country seeking to become Americans and to better themselves and their familes. Not those straddling the border, sending money out of our economy and into the Mexican economy, and those just here for a buck.

There is every reason in the world why we should clamp down on illegal immigration. We’re flooding our nation with unskilled, uneducated labor, and it’s costing us and will continue to cost us deeply.
