Not a surprise, but out of the 5 main contenders for the Republican nomination, only Fred Thompson has any clue of what people want (though Romney isn't horrible). Here's an article about John McCain answering a question about it, and it shows that he still just doesn't get it regardless of what he says.
If McCain, Rudy, or Huckabee gets the nomination, I will be depressed because a chance at having a good candidate on the issue will be blown.
UPDATE: In immigration news, a report came out today that says:
But one statistic that seems to me should have garnered more attention is that among Mexican immigrant households — by far the largest immigrant group — half are on welfare. This isn't because they're plotting to rip us off, but because they're 19th century workers in a 21st century economy, and simply don't have the tools to support themselves. The result is government-subsidized immigration, with taxpayers footing the bill for all this "cheap" labor.
Ugh. Even the economic arguments for illegal immigration don't work any more.

Specifically what WOULD you like to see done? What would your ideal plan be? I'm not being patronizing, I seriously want to know. Illegal immigration is probably the political topic we agree on the most.
