Candidates on the Issues: Immigration

Newsday ^ | Jan. 18, 2004 | AP

[FairOpinion]

Clark:" ensure that undocumented workers have a way to eventually earn their citizenship."

Dean: "We need earned legalization for undocumented immigrants"

Edwards:"...so there is a clear road map to legalization and citizenship for undocumented immigrants"

Gephardt: "My Earned Legalization and Family Unification Act of 2002"...

Kerry: "I support an earned legalization proposal"

Lieberman: "I will create a new one-time earned legalization status...create a work visa program"

Oh that's really bright. That way we get a democrat president who will allow unlimited immigration AND a democrat congress who will fund it with your tax dollars.

How is that different from what's going on now? Exchange the democrat label for republican, it's still the same. Now I hear Bush is going to speak about his health care initiative at the state of the union, "Hillary care light", that's just great. Tell me again, whats the difference between the parties? Sometimes I forget......

[FairOpinion]

"No difference anymore between the Dems and the Pubs."

Thanks for finally admitting that you are no conservative.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Oh yes, there ARE choices. Independents are now the largest political group in the country. When we find a candidate we can unite behind, it'll be goodbye to the Janus of American politics and bi-partisan corruption.

Tancredo. That OH sound again. A name that ends in OH. Gonna save the country on a one issue platform with the tens of supporters writing him in. Let's see, who else was it that ran for president on basically one issue? Who was that? OH. Ross Perot.

I made the mistake of voting for Perot in 1992 and was "treated" to 8 years of slime in the White House.

Mike Peroutka
Constitition Party Candidate for President

Peroutka is a good man.

As usual, you are holding your own and then some here, so no use in me jumping in this thread! P.S. I think we can all say that we wish no overtures were being made to illegal aliens....but... P.P.S. Someone should post what Tancredo's overture would be also.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Which part of "The next president will be either Bush or a Democrat" do you and others have a problem comprehending?

And which part of "it's up to the Republicans to win my support" do you and others have a problem comprehending?

[FairOpinion]

"Someone should post what Tancredo's overture would be also."

==

Good point -- Tancredo favors a guest worker program also.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

It's YOU who is no Conservative! You're a classic RINO, supporting any travesty if it has an R in front of it.

[FairOpinion]

"I think we can all say that we wish no overtures were being made to illegal aliens...."

Naturally. But people here weren't demanding Clinton's head on a platter for totally ignoring the illegal immigration problem and having totally open borders.

Bush has done a great deal to secure the US borders. I read somewhere that illegal immigration across the border is way down, but the media is not reporting it, so they don't have to give credit to Bush for it.

Out damned spot it is you that is the socialist. You have proven that with almost every post you make. Your views are repugnant to actual conservative doctrine. You have your hand so far out begging it has dislocated your shoulder.

[Owen]

One more time, with feeling:

Extremists never get to vote FOR anyone. They will never have a horse running in a general election they will like. Extremists will live their entire lives with their optimal strategy always to vote AGAINST the candidate farthest away from the *sum* of all their views.

That's not something you will ever be able to change. It is the nature of the universe.

Bush is pro Life. They aren't. You have no choice.

[McGavin999]

LOL, do what you like, just don't come around here bitching when a democrat is elected, and they reverse the partial birth abortion bill, raise taxes, cut military spending, wipe out the CIA, make homeland security toe the line for the unions, eliminate accountability in schools and probably lower the retirement age to 50.

You guys didn't vote for GW in 2000, guess you just loved the constitutional crisis that almost caused. Are you sure you aren't french?

[FairOpinion]

"Independents are now the largest political group in the country. When we find a candidate we can unite behind"

==

You already did: ROSS PEROT.

That's what got us Bill Clinton -- all those fine principled conservatives and independent "punishing" Bush I, by voting for the great Perot, and electing Clinton.

It's really something to be proud of and keep repeating, isn't it?!

(/sarcasm)

[CWOJackson]

Come on guy...even the French have "some" standards.

[nopardons]

I doubt it'll help, but here I am and I'll try to catch up. :-)

[nopardons]

And have the media then go into overdrive, calling them all racists and worse ?

[nopardons]

No, if you are honest, it isn't! Think taxes, judicial appointments, and safety.

[nopardons]

Tancredo isn't running, is supporting the re-electionof President Bush and in reality, ONLY a GOP or a Dem candidate will win.

[nopardons]

YooooooooooHoooooooooooooooo...there is NO GOP primary !
