The following is a portion of what Fred has said on Ilegal immigration.

“I think its time for a little plain talk to the leaders of Mexico. Something like:
hey guys, you’re our friends and neighbors and we love you but it’s time you had a little dose of reality. A sovereign nation loses that status if it cannot secure its own borders and we are going to do whatever is necessary to do so, although our policies won’t be as harsh as yours are along your southern border. And criticizing the U.S. for alternately doing too much and too little to stop your illegal activities is not going to set too well with Americans of good will who are trying to figure a way out of the mess that your and our open borders policy has already created.

My friends, it’s also time for a little introspection. Since we all agree that improving Mexico’s economy will help with the illegal-immigration problem, you might want to consider your own left-of -center policies. For example, nationalized industries are not known for enhancing economic growth. Just a thought. But here’s something even more to the point that you might want to think about: What does it say about the leadership of a country when that country’s economy and politics are dependent upon the exportation of its own citizens? “

Thanks for the reply. I found that on the Internet, but its not the answer I'm looking for. No offense, but that is talking around the issue because it says nothing about what Mr. Thompson would do about the 12 to 20 million of illegals here today. I want them out, plain and simple. I know that sounds harsh, but I've had enough of this. Its time we get tough on this issue and many other issues. I've had enough of the RNC too. They have blown it big time. Its time to elect people that tell us plain and simple what they will do and do it.
