Delegates Speak: North Carolina on Immigration

Sept. 3, 2008, 3:30 p.m. EDT

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.

- North Carolina delegate Valerie White, 53, of Asheboro, financial-aid officer, interviewed by Pamela M. Prah, Stateline.org
