The inexperience argument reminds me of that movie Idiocracy. I want a president with no experience or understanding of how legislation works, of diplomacy, international social customs, national/state/local governments, the issues of military, education, government programs, demographics, etc. Dammit! That will make America great.
I don't want experienced surgeons, mechanics, scientists, farmers, programmers, teachers, tradesmen, etc! Who would want that? Given that the 6 2016 American Nobel Laureates were all immigrants and that our front runner is the most inexperienced ignoramus to grace electoral politics, I think we're well on our way. Well done!
Illegal immigration and also because it affects so many other issues we are facing today such as jobs, crime, taxes, resources, national security, etc.
Deciding factor is corruption in government and NO more wars.......How people can vote for Hillary Clinton is beyond me......especially after bashing W Bush for 8 years.......Hillary is the most war hawk Democrat since LBJ and now she wants war with Russia......INSANE!
I checked "other" because I cannot pick just one issue. I didn't see "Supreme Court" but that's probably my main concern. It bothers me when any candidate talks about appointing a Supreme Court justice who will do this or that. They are all supposed to make decisions based on a fair interpretation of the Constitution, not personal political leanings. However, we all know that's rubbish.
I should have made the Supreme Court an option instead of Abortion and LGBT rights as people concerned with those issues are mostly concerned about the Supreme Court. It also covers people who are concerned about the Second Amendment.
My deciding issue?
I can't vote for Clinton. I refuse to reward someone who as a public servant violated the trust of a nation and who is so arrogant that she believes the rules are for everyone else.
I can't vote for Trump. If for no other reason, because he can't stay off the damned Twitter.
I don't care for Johnson or Stein. That leaves write in vote only.

Illegal immigration as a national problem is overrated. It peaked in the late 1990's and has been slowly declining ever since. Crime statistics show that US-born natural citizens commit crimes at a higher rate than illegals do. And if you want to stop illegals from taking "our" jobs, then amnesty is the best way to do that, because that stops employers from cheating on wages and everyone competes for jobs at minimum wage or higher.

No if you want to stop illegals from taking jobs and breaking our laws you do not reward them. That is complete nonsense. You pass laws with teeth and you make E-Verify mandatory so that you can actually hold employers accountable. You make life here impossible for illegals and you treat them like criminals because that is exactly what they are.
We tried amnesty and it doesn't work. If anything it made things worse and encouraged millions to violate our immigration laws.
Rewarding unwanted behavior is no deterrent.
Out of curiosity. What do you tell all those who entered legally or who are still waiting their turn? Suckers, you should have broken our laws?
