Actually given how long it has been since the Feds have actually enforced the current laws, it will seem like a new concept to most...

Good move on Fred Thompson’s part. The first guy in the upper tier to be strong against illegal immigration will win easily.

Yep. Somebody got tired of fumbling around in the dark and decided to turn on the lights.

Whoever successfully uses this issue can get votes across-the-board.

Come on, Fred. Time to make a real mark.

This is ripe for it - the other major candidates are weak on the issue, and Fred can start pulling away from the pack if he can articulate a clear, tough position.

From the article:

“A major part of the plan will be to reduce the number of illegal immigrants by increasing enforcement of existing law.”

Immigration is also a key to getting some of the black vote.
He needs to go into both Union and Black communities and talk about the damage that illegal immigration is doing to their income and welfare.
He doesn’t need money to win...he can make press by going into these hostile areas and courting them. Screw the money from business people who want cheap labor.

Duncan Hunter has gotten no traction with this issue amoung the journalists.....I hope Fred can get out the message.

Thompson is going to sneak up on the MSM and they’re going to sh*t when they wake up the day after the ‘08 election...

That’s what I was thinking -

a major anti-illegal immigration plan would put him over the top.

The rest would then try to “me to” (ala Harry Reid) their way to glom onto it, but it would be too late.

The mexican card
The queer card
The abortion card

If Fred really does this. I mean REALLY announces a plan to crack down on the 30 million illegals in the country already. Even Hilarity supports illegal immigration. So Fred will win. Hands down. But I'm doubtful that Fred will follow through. Too much money is involved. All those corporations with bags full of cash demanding cheap labor.

I was talking to another woman yesterday while waiting for the train. She’s an American who had just returned from 20 years abroad ( Germany ) and she’s ready to go back because, as she put it, “I don’t even recognise my own country anymore. In Europe, if you don’t work, they send you home! What the hell is this”?- while gesturing at the large group of unemployed ( and doubtlessly illegal ) young men gathered across the street from us. I love my country and would never leave, but I understand her frustration.

I’ll go for the guy who has made it a central issue since he came into office, rather than one who says “one day we awoke to find 12 to 20 million illegal aliens” had invaded.

Well, Brian...

...sure hope your office window isn't too high to jump out of...because when you hear Fred's detailed solution, a lot of Freepers are going to be tearing their hair out.

He already has stated that he doesn't want to deport the vast majority of illegal immigrants already here... and that he wants to differentiate between the hotel maid and the MS-13 gang-banger. Between the hardworking, peacefull illegal that is trying to better his/her life and that of their children, and that of the repeat offender that is part of the 'catch and release' MO of too many sanctuary counties and cities across the land.

He wants to register them, give them work permits, and provide them with an EVENTUAL path to US citizenship.

I'm looking forward to hearing his plan.

There have been some victories lately in Europe by candidates running on protecting their borders and their culture.

Wrong! Wrong! WRONG!

It isn't about the hourly wage.

It's about work ethic and dependability.
