You didn't read the link I provided up thread did you?

And your reading comprehension isn't terribly good either. What I've said, and every poll has borne it out, is that when confronted with a list of national concerns like the war, the economy, etc., immigration places no higher than #5 on the list with a maximum of 11%.

If you can find a poll that says higher, post it here. But you can't.

Now, when asked how many people think immigration is a concern, a huge percentage naturally agrees that it is. But it's not not among the top 3 or 4 concerns that Americans have. That's just the way it is but I won't expect an apology from you so I'll just return the favor. You must be deliberately misrepresenting what I've posted here and i'll say this about you - if you have to lie to try and make a point, you must not have a very good point.

As usual, Peach, someone else has to do the work for you. There are many polls, etc. that show immigration as a VERY important issue and you know it. I'll post one and find others for you. NOW. Where is your poll that you are so proud of?

Why do you suppose my repub congressmen sent out one campaign flyer and it was ALL about controlling illegal immigration?And guess what he won by a landslide 64%.

"Our surveys show that immigration is the most important issue for likely voters in this state," says Fred Solop, a political scientist at Northern Arizona University and director of the Social Research Laboratory there. But voters aren't distinguishing between competing proposals, he adds: "They just want something to be done."
