| The older folks I've heard from that were around during the racial issues from the 40's and 50's still seem to carry a bit of resentment. This includes both Blacks and Whites. Many of the Blacks remember being treated unfairly, and many of the Whites fear the Blacks remember being treated unfairly.
As far as the immigration issue, don't be fooled into thinking America has put it on the back burner. That has been the problem all along. Both sides keep forgetting it's a big issue for many, and they will vote accordingly. I know I will.
Many see economics as the major issue but fail to realize our immigration issue has a lot to do with our economic problem. Taking care of the immigration issue will also have a major affect on our economic issue. For those businesses that are taking advantage of immigrants it would be a major impact on their business, for those who avoided the easy money their business would explode. For those who stand to loose from a illegal immigrant hiatus I say sucks to be you.
Some are still asking the question of what to do with the 16 million that are already here. The answer is simple and the same it has been from the start. Take away their reason to be here and they'll export themselves quicker than they were imported. Some people just want you to believe the answer is not a simple one.
