In addition, the following candidates stuck with the positions (and Ratings) that they had previously staked out. (Santorum and Paul deserve special recognition for taking strong stands long before Trump stirred the media's interest this past week.)
EXCELLENT: Santorum
VERY GOOD: Paul
1st STEPS: Graham
NO POSITION: Chaffee, Walker
UNHELPFUL: Biden, Clinton, Sanders, Webb
VERY HARMFUL: Huckabee

No clue what the ratings mean. Is it the author’s take on the candidates’ positions? Or is it the candidates’ views on the issue. Highly unclear.
Interesting website.
Interesting analysis and rating system.
Thanks for posting.
The Left has immediately renamed this issue "birthright citizenship". But the subject is "birthright of children of illegals."
Thanks....
This caught my eye:
“1st STEPS: Graham”
What the h*ll does this mean? TwinkleToes Graham who has been part of every gang promoting amnesty since he has been in the Senate including the 2007 and 2013 disasters. And he is rated “1st steps”?? First steps to what?
At least Rubio is rated Very harmful but ignoring Graham’s past actions is wrong. Napoleon said “do not attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity” but this makes me wonder about the author, Roy Beck.
Santorum and Paul deserve special recognition for taking strong stands long before Trump stirred the media's interest this past week.[singing] Paultardation takes its toll, doo-dah, doo-dah...
Team Rand Attacks 'Canadian' Ted Cruz
Yep.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
NumbersUSA is an organization that has been doing yeoman’s work for many years on keeping track of the illegal immigration situation and its impact on the USA. They and FAIR are the two most reputable and reliable sources of information on this topic.
Thanks, I didn’t know that. Can you answer my original question on how to interpret the numbers they reported?
Then let's get right back at 'em!
Birth Rights for all Conceived Children!
It’s the organization’s ratings of the positions of the candidates based on their voting records and policy statements.
Great post. Thanks. HOORAY Roy Beck.
Oh and WELCOME ABOARD!
Time for Kasich, Bush, Grahamnesty, and Rubio to head for the showers. Perry has one foot in the showers already.
“NumbersUSA is an organization that has been doing yeomans work for many years on keeping track of the illegal immigration situation and its impact on the USA.”
Yes, an excellent organization which has been at the frontlines of beating back the several amnesty battles. But, as their name “Numbers” indicates, they are also trying to educate people on the dangers of the huge number of LEGAL immigrants we are importing. Even some of the Republican candidates who have been pretty good on the illegal invasion have been aiders and abettors of the mass legal immigration swamping us.
Now we’re confusing abortion with automatic citizenship of babies born to illegals.
Let’s try to keep out issues straight.
