Presidential candidates mum on immigration

Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain discussed many things at last night’s presidential debate including the economy, healthcare and whether to bomb Pakistan.

But they offered nary a word on immigration.

Because of the town hall set up and the fact that citizens across the country submitted questions, immigrant advocate groups anticipated that border security would rear its head.

Several groups e-mailed reporters in advance with lists of experts on immigration to help analyze the candidates’ statements.

But the topic didn’t come up. At all.

In fact, immigration has been largely absent as a campaign topic mostly because both candidates support an immigration measure that would give illegal immigrants some kind of path to citizenship.

The only place immigration has appeared is in Spanish-langauge ads. Both candidates have been sparring over immigration in the spots, designed to influence Hispanic voters in swing states.
