| #7 Social Security cuts for senior isn't going to happen so long as the Baby Boomers continue to turn out in droves to vote. I take that back. social Security cuts for Baby Boomers isn't going to happen. I expect to be the first year that doesn't get anything (born in 1961). |

| #6 Like social security cuts for seniors, illegal immigration needs to become a new political third rail in the 2008 election. Driver licenses for undocumented: Clinton stumbles |

| #5 The only two types of people that I have found that appreachiate the illegals are the folks that profit off their cheap labor and the pot heads who like the weed and black tar heroin a segment of them supply to these users in the US. I hear that includes many in the ass party. |

| #4 Illegals have been an issue for two years, now. The problem has been the hostility of the courts to measures enacted by local communities. This is clearly starting to change, as the state-level politician are confronted with the reality of voter sentiment, and legal precedents start to build up in the necessary direction. I'm starting to think that by the 2012 election it will be a fait accompli at the national level as well. |

| #3 I think this is one of those 'gun ownership', 'death penalty' issues that the elites [pols, policy makers, media spinners] are completely out of step with the general population. It boils down to them wanting us to accept 'our betters' ruling us rather than they understanding the fundamental principles of democracy. Their blindness to that only compounds the estrangement between the two. Any pol at any significant level who attempts to run counter to the general public sentiment has written off a large segment of the voting population and any real chance at office, with the exception of the usual suspects from Euroenclaves. |

| #2 most Americans understand illegal vs legal. The "immigration advocates" try to blur that line by hinting darkly that anyone who opposes illegal immigration is against all immigrants. Cries of "racist" soon follow. I think voters will punish this tactic and anyone who panders to the real Raza racists. Tide's turning, state by state |

| #1 I dont think the national politicos have any idea how grass roots the disgust is about this issue. Those I live around to a single person want the border closed. They want everyone to have to obey the same laws we're required to live by. Most of this country are working stiffs who dont care for an illegal to come along and underbid them in the market and take their job. I think the feds are blinded by the 'free' votes. This is going to be a watershed issue in the next presidential election. Its the pocketbook stupid. |
