Bedford – The most important domestic issue in the 2008 presidential election is not health care, education or the economy, but immigration, which has an impact on all of the other issues and is tied to the survival of the America nation, U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo said yesterday.

Tancredo, R-Colo., said neither party wants to the address the problem of illegal immigration. Democrats, he said, don’t care because they see illegal immigrants as future voters while Republicans see them as future cheap labor.

Illegal immigrants may save their employers dollars in lower wages, but they cost the country billions in health care, affect public schools through bilingual education and make up more than a quarter of the population in federal prisons, according to Tancredo.
