Do you really believe that any of the presidential candidates will do anything about illegal immigration?

I do, I do, I do velieve in fairies.

P.D.Hillary Clinton will winn.

If you consider the argument that the illegals are being used for labor and votes then yes, someone will do something because at some point, those votes will be had and we all know that the work was done before they came. In truth, we don't need or want them any more now than we did before. The purpose they indirectly serve will come to an end and they will be gone. I don't believe that ANY of the candidates care about illegals in any manner, any more than they care about citizens. It's about $ and when that stops flowing as freely as it is now, there will be nothing that they care about except bringing in more $ and who can do that for them. Illegals are a monetary drain, a liability. The politicians have found a way to make it work for them so that only the citizens feel that drain and liability. Now that it isn't a bed of roses and cash, the government is beginning to step back and see that we will no longer fund their circus. Many states are taking the hardline now and the government is allowing it. Did you really think they wouldn't? They're faultless. It's all of us big, bad, racist citizens that are so mean and hard hearted. Oh yes, I do believe they will do something....through us, vicariously.

Candidates will say whatever they think will get the most votes, and whoever wins probably won't do anything about illegal immigration. They will just make it look like they are doing something to keep up the popularity and support. If you are sick of having to choose between 2 idiots, why not vote for an independent or minority party candidate?

Nothing will happen until they are in office for a while. But something has to be done eventually, regardless of who wins the election. Remember however, that the President alone cannot decide the issue.

Bush campaigned on a promise of immigration reform and asked that 245(I) be reinstated just a week before 9/11. He even made an appearance in the Congress to urge passage of the compromise bill this year, so I do not fault him for being unable to pull it off. The problem is the deep division over the issue. Check the Whitehouse.gov website if you do not believe me.

Agreed. The chances of any of them doing anything significant is slim. The problem with any kind of high office is that you have to be like Gumby in order to get there. You bend in so many which ways in order to appease so many different groups. At the end of it, you don't stand for anything. How could you? They don't even know what they are saying half of the time. That's why opinion A on monday contradicts opinion B on tuesday. They forget what group they're speaking to or that they were only supposed to change positions on day 18 of the month instead of day 10. Then their advisors or the media remind them, and they say 'My comments were taken out of context' etc.

The problem is that human political systems are a reflection of basic human nature. Fake people get ahead. If you are good enough at lying with a straight face and making some speeches, you have a good shot at getting rich. Look at high school: the popular kids were fake. They didn't even really like each other most of the time, but they played along so they could be a part of that clique. If we can get the kids to stop admiring fakeness, maybe we can do so ourselves.

NOPE. I do not feel they will do anything. They typically don't do anything about anything. The only thing politicians do is make more laws and pass more bills that don't get enforced. Oh yeah and lets not forget taxes. I say "taxation without representation."

This is why I typically don't vote. I don't believe the politicians. People are saying you have to vote... NO I DON'T. When a politician comes on my TV and says "you know? Im not prefect But I will try my best to do the best I can as your president. I am not going to promise anything but my best for you".... I'll vote for that guy.

Well, it's hard to say. And even if they are sincere, they can't get anything done without the backing of Congress. So if the Dems have the majority in Congress and they have the Oval office, then a sincere candidate's visions can be fulfilled. If a Republican gets in the office (which is still possible!) then it will probably be a stale mate on just about everything. The current Democratic led Congress has already shown that.

I do not think anything will be done on immigration, The best I could wish for is a Comprehensive Immigration reform program, Any one with a felony conviction here or in their country to serve out the sentence in their prisons, All to paid Taxes, And social Services remain only for US citizens.

The U.S. Constitution starts with "WE THE PEOPLE"...the power in this lies with its citizens...if you dont think our buying power and vote matters, you are wrong...politicians are in the pockets of big business for the most part and that is one reason why illegal immigration is being ignored by the feds..walls are a waste of time and money..stricter penalities against employers who hire illegals are needed ASAP!!!

None of the front runners, well maybe Romney since he talks about it so much. Definitely don't expect anything from McCain, who admits he is pro amnesty. The Dems candidates are as well.

Now only Hunter and Paul. Yes, I am also sick of only having 'bad' and 'worse' choices. They are funded by the multi-national corporations who are implementing the new world order. I think it will take a revolution to get us out of this mess.

Good question Amanda!
