If you want to see what Mickey Kaus is talking about in terms of illegal immigration being a salient issue for voters, check out the website of the Democratic challenger in Arizona’s 5th Congressional District:

My opponent likes to talk tough about immigration, but the truth is
he and those in Washington have failed in their responsibility to secure our border.

The number of illegal immigrants in our state has increased 400% during his tenure in Congress.

My opponent has rewarded illegal immigration by voting for amnesty four times. Just last month, he voted against 12,000 additional Border Patrol agents and against implementing the border security recommendations of the bi-partisan 9/11 Commission. In his 12 years in Congress, JD [Hayworth] has given us a lot of rhetoric, but not a lot of results.

We can do better, and we deserve better.

The commercial, which you can see on the website, is tough stuff. This from an otherwise reliably liberal candidate.
