Obama Wins….at least at endlesswait.com
Our poll on McCain versus Obama on Immigration showed Obama clearly winning 58% to 14% with 28% undecided. The mood is feverish here in the US today. Feels as if 18 months of craziness, first the Hillary versus Obama battle and now the McCain versus Obama race, is culminating in one day today…
And the poll results are already starting to pour in. We’ll be keeping a close eye. Even though most of us in this site can’t vote yet, we are interested in the outcome of the elections. Obama seems to have an open mind on immigration issues, a much needed refreshing break from Bush, who almost did not even realize there were legal immigrants in the country. Obama does make comments occasionally that reveal his relative inexperience with legal immigration issues. McCain on the other hand is rigid in his ways about immigration issues and has not talked about it much at all in his campaign, but does know a lot more about it than Obama.
Obama, in his immigration speeches, has repeatedly said that he would support bringing in more temporary skilled workers - meaning H1-B visa holders. But he has mentioned that he would work against companies that outsource jobs. I believe that’s a step backwards. I know that’s a hotly debated issue but there’s too much on it to write in this post. I will dedicate a future post on that topic soon. He also got pretty worked up about the recent H1-B fraud issue. I was talking to a friend last night whose wife is badly affected by the broken H1-B system. Perhaps if Obama knew about that, he would feel differently. Again, something I plan to write on soon, unless one of you wants to take the lead on and contribute a post on it. Feel free to register as an author to contribute your posts.
I honestly don’t even know what McCain’s ideas are on immigration though I’ve tried to find out about them. All I know is that he will offer a path for illegal immigrants to get citizenship but is against giving them driving licenses now. But what about legal immigrants?
Personally, I am an Obama supporter. We’ll know which way the election goes in a few hours!
This live election 2008 blog is a great place to hang out at during the countdown to the presidential results in the next few hours..epecially if you can’t be in front of a TV for some reason like me (working :(…)
