Why? He merely stated that he would enforce the law when asked that question. Do you think he would have been better off if he just said I don't give a shit about that issue? They lay land mines out there that have to be addressed because they are looking for trip wires.

Bingo. And except more trip wires at the DNC rigged general election debates.

Recall in 2008 that Barack Obama refused to appear at a Democrats only debate because it was hosted by Fox News (who despite the hype of being right-leaning endorsed Kerry in 2004, or at least NewsCorps executives did).

Since the debate moderators aren't going to raise the issues that will get egg on Obama's face, the candidate is going to have to bring up more names like "Joe The Plumber" when they arise this time around. Not Joe, per say, but asking Barry just how his "spread the wealth around is DIFFERENT than Karl Marx's "from each according to his ability to each according to his need"? If Obama's policies are not Socialist, what would he do differently if that WAS the goal? What separates them from being Socialist? Europe seems to agree they are.
