if there were remotely true an in context... explain why Bratt by Cantor and Trump leads everyone including Hillary.
the reality is that is issue is entwined with jobs, the economy taxes, border security and security, healthcare... anchor babies and everything else...
you keep citing that fact - in a manner which is a logical fallicy... as if it means the issue is not of big importance to many people.
oh wait I have proof of your manifest bullshit...
the poll found the order is ...
economy, govt, race relations... then immigration.
its one one big massive issue... doh.

- Seven percent of Americans say immigration is the most important problem facing the country today. That may not seem like a high number, but at the moment there is no one dominant problem in the minds of American, and immigration actually comes in as the fourth-most-frequently mentioned problem, behind the economy, dissatisfaction with government and race relations. This month, immigration is mentioned as the top problem by one percentage point more Americans than is unemployment/jobs. Immigration flares up from time to time on this most important problem measure. Last July it was at 17% of all mentions, for example. Republicans are only slightly more likely than Democrats to mention immigration as the nation's top problem.
- In March, we gave Americans a list of 15 problems and asked how much they personally worry about each. "Illegal immigration" was ninth on the list, with 39% saying they worried about it "a great deal." That contrasts with the top problems -- healthcare and the economy -- about which 54% and 53%, respectively, of the public said they worried about a great deal.
- In January of each year, we ask Americans how satisfied they are with the state of the nation with regard to a list of different aspects of life in American today. The list this past January included 27 different aspects. Satisfaction with immigration was seventh from the bottom with only 33% saying they were satisfied. To put that in context, one of the highest levels of satisfaction was for the nation's military strength and preparedness at 69%, followed by satisfaction with opportunities to get ahead by working hard, at 60%, and then by satisfaction with the nation's security from terrorism, at 59%. Anchoring the bottom of the list was the nation's efforts to deal with poverty and homelessness, with 26% satisfied.
