“Face it, illegal immigration is not that big of an issue for most Republicans.”

Face it, there are millions of Americans who want to see the border enforced, our sovereignty regained, and the flouting of our immigration laws ended. You might also want to stop to think that allowing in masses of illegals and legals to take away American jobs is not a real good way to win votes during this depression. Of course, Republicans will be unable to capitalize on that sentiment if they choose the McCainac/Lindsay Gramnesty position.

And their are millions more who want to see a reform of immigration that does not involve millions of families who have been a part of America for years if not decades being forced out of their homes and country. There are millions more who simply do not care one way or the other.

If deportation was such an important issue to so many Americans as you say, something would have come of it by now particularly in an economic recession. Even in last year's election, both McCain and Obama supported citizenship over deportation.
