Question

How come the media does not ask the candidates about illegal immigration?

Answer 1

because they feel that immigration is not a very important issue and that it doesnt have to be adressed  i honestly dont think thats right but thats politics i guess

Answer 2

That is a good question and I also wonder why.

Answer 3

Media has a liberal bias (except Fox news and they have a conservative bias), that is a PC topic and people walk on egg shells about so as not get accused as prejudiced or racist. Just too much hassle to try to navigate that minefield.

Answer 4

The Media doesn't care.

Answer 5

i wish they would elaborate on what they plan to do.

Answer 6

I wonder that as well, but it doesn't matter at this point, both candidates are soft on illegals.  

Answer 7

Because the media is only telling what the government wants you to know. And the government does NOT want you to know that they are doing NOTHING about the illegal immigration.

And why is the government doing nothing? Because the businesses and corporations lobby the government to do nothing. That's so the businesses and corporations can hire cheap labour and make huge obscene profits.

One reason that I want to work for a non-profit company.  

Answer 8

Hopefully that question will come up soon and we will get a real answer from the candidates.

Answer 9

Good question, especially for the opposite candidate

A sure way to put them in a very difficult situation

Answer 10

They have. It's not in your coloring book though

Immigration is a highly divisive issue, as concerns about terrorism amplify the debate about border security. Congress has failed to enact immigration legislation because of differences between supporters of tougher enforcement to limit illegal entry into the country and advocates of amnesty for illegal immigrants. Candidate positions were compiled by USA TODAY with reporting by its staff, Gannett News Service and The Des Moines Register.

Answer 11

Because the media is owned by a Global Elite that wants to destroy the American Working Class.  And Illegal Immigration is just one of the tools they employ.
