I guarantee all the R candidates are studying the fallout from the last Dem debate. My position is the one candidate who makes a firm stand against illegal immigration and for securing the borders, including enforcing the laws on the books now- will be the one who takes the lead and runs.
Hunter and Tancredo have been by far the best candidates on the immigration issue (and consistently so over a long period of time), but if either of them emerges with the lead anytime soon I'd be more than a bit surprised. ....and more than a bit thrilled.
IMMIGRATION is the most powerful issue in this election. It is a wide open opportunity for almost any of the candidates (including Dems if they want to be brave -and win) to seize upon.
but none of the other candidates are so clear and strong enough to get everyone to unite behind only one of them.
