Thanks for that! Makes one wonder what all is covered in the "other" category. Interesting that they used the word "crisis" only after the Gas/Heating oil category and it still only garners 3%.
Marking for later reference.
If so few people regard illegal immigration as an important problem, why waste your time even posting on this topic? We're a tiny, insignificant minority, right?
