Well I think he is clear he doesnt support 'English Only" regardless if he did not give a one word answer. The way he answered it is how any good public speaker would answer it by promoting the postive oof his idea. The Repoerter should have asked a followup.

They are not going to the head of the line. That was the Kerry position. Under the BUsh plan they have a ton of qualifications and basically have to wait 11 years even then.

I've done more than just a little public speaking. If one is asked a 'yes or no' question then one should respond with a yes or with a no, not launch off into a speech about a literacy program which has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the question asked.

They aren't going to the back of the line either. Immigrants from every other nation on the planet have to apply from their country of origin. Why not the folks who have broken our laws and violated our borders?

How knuckleheaded is that?

In order for illegals to come out ahead, they would have to pay $2,000 precious dollars, pay all back taxes (how will the government staff that office?) and start paying taxes. Those are the incentives to citizenship.

There is no disincentive for staying illegal! Stay under the radar and you pay nothing, but neither is there a penalty, that I can see, for staying illegal and leaving things status quo. It's ridiculous. It's wrong-headed. It's pandering.
