Big Issue: Immigration

There are quite a few "Big Issues" in this Presidential race, but I would like to focus, for now on the issue of Immigration.

According to this CNN article, it seems that immigration is something both the Republicans and Democrats agree on. Both Hillary and Barack purportedly

Supported Bush-backed immigration reform legislation, which would have increased funding and improved border security technology, improved enforcement of existing laws, and provided a legal path to citizenship for some illegal immigrants. Voted to authorize construction of a 700-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexican border.

And McCain went further than just supporting Bush-backed immigration reform, he CO-SPONSORED IT!!!

CNN also had this poll:


As you can see from the poll, which asks (in case the resolution isn't good) "Regardless of who you may support, who do you trust more to handle immigration issues: Obama or McCain?" The results, as you can see show that 42% trust Obama, 37% trust McCain, and 20% are unsure. I know people are saying her campaign is dying but was it really fair to not include Hillary on this poll? I feel it sort of skews the results, I don't know whether that 20% are actually unsure, or if they saw the "Other" category as the only means by which to show their support for Hillary.

These immigration policies disgust me. The fence disgusts me. America is a nation of immigrants. Unless you are Native American, you are an immigrant. I don't care how long you've lived in the United States. Some of my family came to the U.S. on the Mayflower, you know what that's called? IMMIGRATING. Why can't we just accept that we will have immigrants, that for the most part we ARE immigrants, and try to make some legislation that actually helps the system and helps those who need help, instead of trying to put up a fence and block out the inevitable.
