There's little doubt that the issue of immigration will be on the minds of voters throughout next year's presidential elections. That's why I was somewhat surprised at how little time ABC dedicated to the issue during last night's third Democratic Presidential debate.
Of the nearly three hour debate, ABC allowed for only 12 minutes of discussion on immigration, and only five of the 10 candidates spoke. Maybe the small chunk of time is recognition that there's little difference between the frontrunners -- they favor more immigration and less enforcement.
Univision anchor, and immigration-expansion activist, Jorge Ramos handled the immigration segment, and he didn't hide his own personal views on the issue. He attacked Joe Biden over Pres. Obama's "record number" of deportations. He said Pres. Trump put "kids in cages." And he asked Andrew Yang if he would support doubling the number of green cards issued each year.
