Sadly this issue seems to be one that anybody who tries to address it gets hit hard. Reagan addressed and it hurt the Republicans, Bush tried to get it addressed and the Republicans backed him off because they had tried to use it before and got burned. The Democrats don't want to address it too much because then they would have to come up with something and thereby owning it. The reality is that regardless of what you do on this issue it will be wrong to enough to lose power, and from my introduction to it 3 years ago when I came to Arizona from Mississippi I have seen what a dangerous issue it is.
