"...and has opposed anti-illegal immigrant legislation,..." I was not aware of this. When did he "oppose" it? What did he say? Can you give me some quotes? I would like them in context please. Thanks.
See the link above to the youtube clip. There's another clip from a speech he gave in 2000 where he said he wanted the U.S. to be even more open to immigrants. Obviously, these were pre-9/11 quotes, but I haven't read or heard anything to indicate he's modified his stance on immigration. If he has, I welcome correction on the point. I still don't think it will make a difference in terms of his beating a Dem in the election, but I want to be accurate.
