10. I liked what Castro said earlier, but as the debate went on, he was pandering at times.

I thought he was wrong to take the stance he did, but I did like the emphasis by a few panelists on working to fix things in Central America, so people don't have such horrific conditions to escape from in the first place.

I found it surprising that none of the candidates even bothered to address immigration from Asia, Africa and the Middle East. People from all over the world want in too, and there are a lot of people who have overstayed on their visas and some have been deported as well.

There was also no mention of the issue of the indentured servitude inherent in the H1B process, and how many of those subjected to it have elected to return to their home countries. We're losing very good talent.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
