I like Fred’s take on this. When is he going to stop being coy and come out and announce his intentions?

Fred! Fred! Fred!

Read Peggy Noonan’s piece in the WSJ today. Fred isn’t being coy, he’s being canny.

Most Americans know that we have an illegal immigration problem in this country, with perhaps as many as 20 million people residing here unlawfully. Thank God, someone stopped using that idiot number of 12 million.
Even Tom Tancredo cites 12 million. I think the mumber is 30 million, but finally, someone stopped using the bs number of 12.

I liked Peggy’s take on Fred - and I agree with it.
To: Sub-Driver
Someone should name this, instead of “comprehensive”, “compazine immigration plan”...especially since the purpose of both seems to be the same.

Money line: "We should scrap this “comprehensive” immigration bill and the whole debate until the government can show the American people that we have secured the borders — or at least made great headway. That would give proponents of the bill a chance to explain why putting illegals in a more favorable position than those who play by the rules is not really amnesty."

When is he going to stop being coy and come out and announce his intentions?June or July, he has to finish his other obligations first and he is well aware of the equal airtime law though he is making a mockery of them.

Very soon. He’s loading the chamber now, and will pull the trigger soon.

Very interesting. Thompson is the first major "candidate" to take this position on this issue. And I think he will strike a chord here. Several months ago, I called this growing attitude that we have to get control of illegal immigration, the "Hazleton Revolution." It is a good sign that one major candidate has joined that revolution.

Still, he is giving generalities.
I want to hear him and the other candidates get specific:
“When I am president, I will do X, Y and Z to secure the borders!”
That would give the voters content to evaluate.
We’ve heard ‘secure the borders’ for 40 years covering the last two Kennedy amnesty bills. It is politospeak.
Even Kerry had a plan for every contingency in 04. We never knew what the contents of the plans. But he had plans. Every speech, we’d hear “I have a plan...”
