I'd say that not immagration but illegal immagration is at the top of most peoples list of important things in this country today.

Ditto for illegal immigration 12 months a year here too.......

BTW: Arizona is Ground Zero for both the Super Bowl and the mass exodus of illegals here in early 2008.

I voted for the latter.......ONLY because that IS what the question referred to.......What "I" believe IS MOST important to MOST Americans, would unfortunately......be football over this issue.

BUT.....this issue is far MORE important than football to me!

AND......Certainly ILLEGAL immigration is cause for anger but.........LEGAL immigration also should be revised making it much more difficult and/or EXPENSIVE for anyone to acquire citizenship.......and I believe this mainly because I think America is far too populated already and needs to start "closing its borders" and make it much more difficult even for LEGAL immigration.
Just my belief.

The more I think about it I do realize immigration is more important to most Americans. The media just covers one side of the story.

Am I reading the poll correctly? You want me to choose what is more important to most Americans? How on earth could I answer such a question?

ILLEGAL immigration would be more important to me. But if you change the other choice to Hockey, well, I might change my mind! LOL j/k

I have NO problem with LEGAL Immigration.

None of the above. I vote for a higher education in a globalized society. I believe that higher education is the solution to a victorious future, and costs should not stop competent students from attending college.

I am not asking what is most important to the people here at this forum. I'm asking what they believe is important to most Americans.

I see people on television getting dressed up in some sort of outfit to support their favorite team -- then they go hooting and screaming to a stadium or sports bar where they get about as excited as a person can possibly be -- over a child's game. On the other hand, how many people take to the streets to protest immigration with the same ferver?
