Immigration's impact on blacks...

Here's a topic that's been largely ignored for the Democrats: Immigrtions. The question is how would the candidates help those who lose jobs to immigrants, specifically African Americans.

This is a case of scapegoating, Obama says. We have a real difference with the other party. We have to get control of our borders, and we must crack down on unlawful employer practices. But there also has to be some pathway to citizenship.

Economic impact: Lack of investment in infrastructure and other federal problems with economy has not helped.

Hillary: In many parts of our country, because of employers who hire illegal immigrants, which push out American workers. We need a comprehensive immigration reform solution.  Tightening borders and increasing security, helping create more jobs for South America and Mexico would help.

Illegal immigrants in the U.S. should pay a fine, back taxes, learn English, and then apply.

Very diplomatic answers, considering they're in Los Angeles.
