The main reason they think it's being ignored: economy.
This subject has basically blocked a lot of subjects that used to be important in past years' debates.
The article also discusses how illegal immigration can be linked to the economical crisis we are facing:
Ron Woodward, director of immigration reform group NC Listen, said he feels that illegal immigration is inevitably tied to the souring economy, making it a viable topic for debate in the national arena.
As I said on my last post on polarized positions, I think this plus the similarity of the candidate's positions has made the candidates ignore illegal immigration almost completely.
Illegal and non-illegal immigrants want and NEED to know which candidate can back them up. This is a defining issue for so many families in America!
What they don't realize is that there are MANY (including myself!) who are still unsure of what each candidate stands on because they don't talk about it! Ignoring the subject won win you any immigrants - or those who oppose it.

You're absolutely right. I'm a legal immigrant too and I honestly can't say I know the candidates' positions on immigration. I know I can't vote but right now I am a resident, so I'd like to know how I'll be looked upon.
Has either campaign said anything about what they are doing for immigration issues lately? I understand that economy is preventing how the candidates are presenting their positions, but they should talk about the issues more.
