Always with the moderation. That way spells defeat.

She said she thinks Giuliani's moderate positions are more in tune with the rest of the country. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Obviously Castaner doesn't know about the avalanche of calls and letters that members of congress received to make sure that amnesty legislation was defeated. Or she believes that she can create her own propaganda instead of reporting on the issue.

Securing the borders of our country is a high priority issue in this election, and fools like Castaner are perpetuating a feeling of helplessness, that border security is not possible.

Soon our candidates will have to start being quite heavy handed with such bleating reporters.

Anyone who honorably serves this country in the military and is honorably discharged should be eligible for citizenship. Otherwise, don’t let illegals join the military. There are two ways of looking at it. The military is either breaking the law by hiring illegals or it serves as a means of providing them legal status. Which is it going to be? Having asked that, I still support Fred as opposed to the moderate one.

I disagree that moderation can’t work. Attrition seems the best way to circumvent the left by appealing to a majority of Americans. Then, as we offer citizenship to those interested, we can say that now since we gave you a choice, then you have to leave. Offering citizenship will get some out of the shadows, which is a better place than the government makes it out to be, and the rest who stay there can be dealt with in a more aggressive manner since they didn’t accept the alternative. We should increase ICE’s budget and build more federal prisons to house illegal felons and gang members. We have to seal the border by backing up the border patrol and finishing the fence. Along with this it will be imperative that English is made our official language. To make this easier, English should be made the official language of our government. Denying welfare benefits to illegals can offer an incentive to become citizens. We can cut off funding to sanctuary cities. This is all attrition and it will work.

Thompson voiced support for a proposal by U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, that would prohibit employers from deducting payroll taxes for illegal immigrants they knowingly employ.. Thats it? Thats all? Employers can't deduct payroll taxes which they aren't deducting in the first place? Thats all? Thats not what I would consider "interior enforcement." How about a $10,000 fine for every illegal alien employed. Thats what I would call a start. This was the only thing specific Thompson pointed to, and it is weak. If this is all he can come up with during the PRIMARY period, just imagine him turning his back during the general election.

“Rudy Giuliani, whom she describes as more open-minded.”

Open-minded, codeword for Liberal

Hunter’s criticism of Thompson over this issue is well aimed. We need someone in the white house who isn’t a johnny-come-lately on this issue.

“Thompson said the country shouldn’t accommodate illegal immigrants, and that people who are here illegally shouldn’t set the terms or bargain for the circumstances under which they are allowed to stay.”

Finally something FRed and I agree on...

If only he meant this though....

ILLEGAL ALIENS AND THEIR APOLOGISTS ARE ANTI-IMMIGRATION

My ancestral father marched all the way from Fredericton, New Brunswick to Fort Beausejour to fight the English in 1777. He was offered US citizenship. He refused and stayed Canadian.He didn't particularly care for the Brits.

I took the leap and immigrated. But I wonder , if a man or woman fights for the US, and put their life on the line, why not grant them a green card? People who have money can get a green card simply by investing in real estate development, so for those who have money , there is an easy road to US citizenship.

I agree that military service alone should not result in citizenship.

But a soldier who has exchanged shots with the enemy, and risked his life for America should be granted a green card if he requested, but not citizenship right away. He needs not only to open the door by courage and sacrifice, but prove he is worthy to stay.After 5 years of continuous law abiding residence in the US, he could apply for citizenship.
