Im interesting in how you got those scores for Sarah Palin and Herman Cain..
///
don’t know about Cain, but Palin herself has recently said we “can’t deport xx million” and said there should be some path to citizenship, although the rejected outright amnesty.
as for “Because she actually has executive experience running or living in a border state?”,
that is an argument akin to men can’t be against abortion,
because they can’t get pregnant.
i avidly respect you on other issues. but in this case, having a politician for OUTSIDE the border, who hadn’t been forced to make compromises for politicial reasons,
could be exactly what we need to fix this problem.
CA and TX spend 21 and 17 BILLION each year for illegals.
our children are being saddled with more and more debt.
this must stop NOW.
(and Palin is WRONG. Milton Friedman showed how to solve the problem easily. STOP giving benefits to people here illegally, and most will leave themselves, without “deporting”!!!)
Bachmann has other problems. And Perry has virtues, i’ll concede. (Pro gun!)
but be honest, Perry is VERY weak here.
He even opposes the AZ law, that itself does nothing more than existing Federal law. He’s lucky he got a “D”.
Yep, if we can round them up for deportation if they don’t follow certain steps/guidelines, then there is no reason why we can’t just round them up now for deportation for entering illegally. The feds need to stop playing games and get serious.
I can’t help but wonder if Alaska had been over run with illegals and on the brink of bankruptcy over it if Palin would have a stronger stance against illegal aliens.
I am NOT is favor of open borders, but I have constitutional issues with the AZ law and I do not think it will survive a SCOTUS review. You cannot pick and choose when the 10th Amendment is applicable. Being for or against the AZ law is not really a good test.
Perry just signed a Voter ID and a proof of citizenship to get a TX DL bill into law. He's gotten NO credit for that in this *over zealous* organization's report.
