Don't know if anyone will be able to convince you otherwise, but we have to be practical in dealing with the undocumented influx of foreigners. I don't think amnesty is intended to be a blank check for anyone out there. There are qualifications. I also do not think it is practical to adopt a policy that says, in effect, "Round 'em up and kick 'em out now!"
If it is true Martinez took up this vocation in order to make known conservative, constitutional principles to those with whom we have difficulty speaking, then how can that be a bad idea? Most Cubans and Mexicans who come to this country are hard working people who do not expect hand outs. Granted, there are many who fit a different picture.
But we have to deal practically with the facts at hand. Moreover, we ought to declare and teach the freedoms we enjoy in any and every language.
I am in no position to judge this man's qualifications in terms of the specific duties he must perform as head of the GOP. But in general it makes sense to have someone who understands and appreciates conservative principles. A 90% plus ACU rating does not mark the man as a detriment as far as his convictions are concerned.
Can you please list the other crimes for which you endorse providing rewards, benefits, and amnesty? And then explain how that is a conservative position.
