2. If you were to win the Presidency how would you prioritize immigration on your agenda?
3. Three groups comprised the bulk of the uninsured in 2010, including foreign-born residents who are not U.S. citizens, young adults ages 19 to 25 and low-income families with an annual household income of less than $25,000.
