You may be right, but this is a bad sign. Thompson must know that Abraham is an open borders enthusiast. He must know that Abraham helped torpedo the chances of really good immigration reform in the mid 90s. And Thompson must know that a lot of the base knows all of this. In light of the last two years of intense debate over illegal immigration, this just sends a very bad signal.
Abraham won an award from La Raza! La Raza! What else is there to say? That should be a badge of dishonor for a conservative.
And he lost his bid for reelection. What exactly marks him out as the best guy for this job?
Again, what makes you think he is controlling Thompson’s border policy!?
