Re: The immigration issue (YouTube Republican debate)
[ QUOTE ]
Can someone explain to me why the Republicans seem to be so rabid about the immigration issue? It seems to be the #1 issue on republican voters' list (even above Iraq, terrorism, the economy).

At the top of my list is rule of law. I want the US to decide on who becomes new immigrants, not criminal economic motivations from a failed state.
If you hang drywall in CA then your objection is simple economics. Your pay has gone backwards due to serious competitive pressure.
Much of the less informed cohort's objection is cultural. Non-english speakers are in your face and impossible to ignore. Press 1 for English? F that, they think.
