I'm waiting to see his view on illegal immigration. I will support no one that is for amnesty and for all the illegals staying in the US.

[Kimmers]

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? “

I see you seek the truth, not just the Fred Thompson WWW sites that these "Fred Heads" (GOP pushed and orchestrated, sic. GWB Martinez et al). Please see my post 62 from NumbersUSA.com which references and sums up Fred's views on immigration, legal and illegal.

(GOP pushed and orchestrated, sic. GWB Martinez et al)The man is the reincarnation* of GWB, It looks like Freddy Kruger might return after all. See my post number 58 which lists only ONE page turned up on GOOGLE (there were a heck of a lot more) showing George Prescott Bush and other BUSH hacks have joined the Thompson campaign. Then again Fred isn't running Hahaha.

It’s one thing to check out websites that tell you Fred’s point of view. But why not let Fred himself tell you?

For the commentaries, you can click on the link and hear him read it in his own voice if you prefer.

Here is his commentary on the senate bill:

[Prophet in the wilderness]

He has already stated in ( I saw 2 of his speeches on C-Span ) in 2 of his speeches that before we can do anything else, we need to secure the borders first, then, work on the other problems with immigration.
