As Republicans and Democrats duke it out over Congressional seats and control of the Presidency, the issue of immigration is playing a prominent role in campaigns across the nation.

  • Will the restrictionist policies favored by many Republicans put the Party over the top, or will it cost the GOP key support in battleground districts, swing states, and with Latino voters?
  • Will the Democratic Party follow Senator Obama's lead and embrace common-sense immigration reform, or will it shrink in the face of (mostly) Republican attacks on the issue?
  • Will the Latino electorate turn out in record numbers in reaction to the heated immigration debate?

Frank Sharry, Executive Director of America's Voice, has assembled an expert team of political analysts for Immigration08.com - the definitive source for information on the issue of immigration and the 2008 election.

Celinda Lake, President of Lake Research Partners, Pete Brodnitz, Principal of Benenson Strategy Group and Simon Rosenberg, President of NDN, join Frank Sharry to track and analyze how immigration plays in key races for the U.S. House and Senate and in the battle for the White House.
