Q. What serious issue in your state would you like the next president to address?

Immigration. First secure the borders. I think he (McCain) will do a better job securing the borders than Obama. I think Obama is too worried about the votes, and I think McCain understands the importance of security and securing our nation first before reforming the immigration law.
