But with a narrowing of the races to secure the Republican and Democratic nominations ahead of November's general election, the issue could slip lower down the agenda as far as the candidates are concerned, analysts say.

The anti- illegal immigration "fervor" is felt by the citizens, not the candidates. This fervor is not going away simply because the candidates refuse to address it.
Until the candidate that wins tries another amnesty bill.
The people will prevail again on the local level. Their representatives will be forced to vote it down, thus sparking the anti illegal "fervor" all over again. The only solution is to take away the carrot, not give amnesty.
