Well, he served under Ronald Reagan as well as George Bush. But, lest that might seem to make him a bit likelier, according to Wikipedia, “While at INS, he oversaw implementation of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.”

If someone with technical skills could post the Cavuto link, that would be great.
“Vote for me or I’ll have you audited!”
I'm sure we can count on this guy and his backers to help simplify the tax code, amirite??
He might have a chance if his opponent is a pedophile or sex trafficker.
