I agree, of the 3, Immigration should be at the top of the list but its not. If the US works like its supposed to, the Feds shouldnt be doing anything with Healthcare other than providing directed funding toward the States of the Union. It is then the States responisbility to handle that.

Unfortunately too often people in Government try to add things to their agenda to make their job seem more important or difficult than it actually is.
No they really don't. Politicians want to be re-elected first and foremost, adding things that make their job harder is not a way to do that.
