Immigration and Obama's low priority agenda

Townhall.com:
Despite recent pushes by the Obama administration for immigration reform, a new poll released Thursday by Gallup shows that a majority of Americans arefar more concerned with other issues such as healthcare, the economy, and a general sense of dissatisfaction with the government.

Twenty one percent of respondents said that the most important problem facing the United States was dissatisfaction with government, while 19 percent said the economy in general was the most important problem. Rounding out the top three responses was healthcare, which 17 percent labeled as the most important issue. Immigration was second to last with three percent, only slightly above "war/fears of war, lack of respect for each other, and the gap between the rich and the poor," which all garnered two percent of responses.

Immigration has not ranked in the top five of responses all year, as Americans have shown that they are primarily concerned with the economy and healthcare.

The push on immigration appears to be more of a distraction from the administration's problems on healthcare.  It is certainly not a movement bubbling with popular support.
