* Is the President — are you and the President, the administration aware of the dissatisfaction on the whole issue of [tag]illegal[\/tag] [tag]immigration[\/tag] that exists not just within the [tag]Republican[\/tag] base, but within the country at large?<\/p>\n
* Why is it that so many people don’t think that the steps the [tag]President[\/tag] is outlining and has outlined over the years will address the seriousness of the problem?<\/p>\n
