Illegal immigration is flash point for Republican White House hopefuls

Polls may not suggest it, and the
candidates may not be catering to it, but immigration is an
issue that voters won’t let the GOP White House hopefuls escape.

Republican primary voters keep bringing immigration up as the
candidates campaign in back yards, opera houses and recreation
halls across Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. To a sizable
chunk of those who will pick the GOP’s presidential nominee,
immigration is an urgent issue, even a litmus test.
