I agree those are common problems. The conflict comes both in how they are solved and how they are prioritized.

The prioritizing is quite regional, too. The electorate in VA isn't impacted the way folks in AZ are by illegal immigration.
Even my neck of the woods has suffered from it financially. When Obama said he was leery of mass deportation because he "didn't want to split up families", people here scoff. Their attitude is send these people back. They aren't likely to leave their anchor babies behind, but if they do, so be it. They'll be adopted out to the millions of families in this country looking for children.

People are hardening here, and probably everywhere. When one reads the local newspaper each day, it's hard to ignore the fact that most of the arrest names are Hispanic. :(
