26% Angry About Immigration, The Issue Candidates Ignore

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

It’s the issue both presidential candidates have largely ignored as they court the nation’s growing Hispanic population, but one-out-of-four U.S. voters (26%) is still angry about the current immigration situation.

...

74% continue to believe the government is not doing enough to secure the nation’s borders. Just 12% think enough is being done.

Only 35% say it is possible to end illegal immigration, compared to 52% who say it is not possible.

...

Forty percent (40%) of likely McCain voters are angry about the current immigration situation. Among those who plan to vote for Obama, just 14% share the anger.

...

Anger at the current situation is highest among those earning the least since illegal workers compete more with these individuals for jobs. Forty-two percent (42%) of those earning less than $20,000 a year say they are angry about the present immigration situation compared to 15% of those earning more than $100,000 annually.

Support for controlling the border is also higher among lower-income respondents. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of those earning $20,000 to $40,000 a year say controlling the border is more important than legalization of illegal immigrants, a position shared by just 56% of those who make over $100,000 a year.

Come think about it ---- it is true they have not paid much attention to the issue of immigration in general.

That's because most voters probably realize that immigration is not the black/white issue some paint it to be.
