Allen is looking good on Immigration. If he runs against illegals he'll be unstopable in the Primaries and Hillary will get her clock cleaned in the General.

Below are previous articles about Allen's stances against Illegal Aliens.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1395383/posts

Last Monday or Tuesday I heard George Allen talking on the John And Ken Show in Los Angeles.

Since Allen is considered by many to be the Conservative front runner for the Presidency in 2008, I thought I would type here what I heard Allen's positions were regarding Illegal Immigration so people in the future can use it to determine whether they want to vote for him in the primaries.

What Allen Said was that it was "ridiculous" that the we are "shaking down" old ladys and children at ports and airports but we are continuing to leave the borders wide open.

Allen also said it was "nonsense" that we are securing Iraq and Afghanistan's borders but doing nothing about our Southern Border.

He said that he "opposed" President Bush's Guest Worker program and that Allen was proud he voted against the AgJobs Amnesty bill in the Senate recently.

Furthermore Allen is not a cosponsor of ANY of the dozen or so Amnesty bills floating around the Senate like the "Dream Act" and such.

Allen also said he was one of the few Senators to meet with the Minutemen project organizers and that he "supported" them and understood them.

John and Ken did not ask Allen whether he supports putting troops on the border, but Allen did sound pretty conservative on every Illegal Alien question they asked the Senator.

PS:

I am NOT saying I agree or disagree with Allen's statements, I am merely listing them for people's future political reference.

Allen's Yea vote doesn't surprise me.

Santorum's Nay vote, however, does.

Santorum has been contaminated by being in the Senate. He's no longer one of us IMHO.

And that's exactly why a Senator will never become President.

And exactly why I hope Hillary runs.

I believe he's said a lot of things that were inaccurate.

"MCCAIN voted Yes???"

That's too little to late, because he's sponsored legislation with Chappaquidic fats to give CITIZENSHIP to all 16-20 million illegal immigrants in the US PLUS bring in their families as legal residents so that is an extra 20-40 million immiigrants.

How was the Bill worded? Too much pork perhaps?
