The illegal immigration issue must be front and center during all of the GOP Presidential Primary Debates as well as during all of the General Presidential Debates! This will separate all of the "pro-enforcement of all of the U.S. immigration laws" Republican Presidential candidates from all of the "pro-amnesty for illegal immigrants" Republican Presidential candidates! The illegal immigration issue as well as each and every problem that's related to illegal immigration is far too important for too many politicians to keep ignoring to this point. Good-bye U.S.A. if more amnesty for illegals happens soon.

Thompson also touched on immigration, stating the need for America to gain genuine control of her borders, suggesting that once that was accomplished, Americans would continue to embrace immigration as they always have, provided it's legal immigration and on a scale that fuels the economy, while not creating a potential disaster for social services...."

He referred to the undocumented as "illegal aliens". Nothing more need be said. He throws political correctness out the window.

>>what is his opinion on the illegal immigration issue?

He talked about this on Fox news with Chris Mathews, Let me see if I can find the clip…

Fred Thompson part one

Fred Thompson part two

He talks about the illegal aliens issue towards the end of part one

Simply put, he says the idea of rounding every one up is just not feasible while we have open borders, so first fix the border, then change the laws so some people leave on their own (stop the freebees), then work out a way that they can earn citizenship that is fair to those who are following the law.

Makes sense to me.

Go Fred!
