Presidential candidate Congressman Duncan Hunter today reaffirmed his long-held position that as President he will not support any legislation that provides drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. In recent weeks, Senator Hillary Clinton has stated that she was both for and against providing drivers licenses to those here illegally, with her latest decision falling on the same day that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer announced that he was abandoning his controversial plan to issue licenses to undocumented immigrants.
"This is not a subject that our political leaders should be going back and forth on," stated Hunter. "All aspects of combating illegal immigration are important, but the ramifications are higher when we are discussing areas where opportunities are actually being created for those illegally in our country to be provided with a form of identification accepted nation wide.
"At tonight's Democratic debate, I expect Senator Clinton to once again state her position on this important issue based on who is in the audience and what they will like to hear. I disagree with that philosophy and I believe it is simply irresponsible. Voters should have a clear understanding where the candidates stand on this important issue. With me, people know where I stand and they know that just as I have always opposed providing driver licenses for illegal immigrants, I will continue to do so as President."
During his 27 years in Congress, Hunter has consistently voted against providing any forms of benefits to those who illegally enter the United States and he is a current cosponsor of two pieces of legislation prohibiting providing drivers licenses to illegal immigrants:
H.Res. 800- a resolution stating that that States should not issue driver's licenses or other government-issued photo identification to aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States.
H.R. 4160- legislation withholding highway funds from those states which issue a driver's license or identification card to illegal aliens.
Hunter has consistently emphasized the need to strictly enforce our immigration laws, rejected all calls for amnesty and is the author of the Secure Fence Act, passed by Congress and signed by President Bush last October, establishing 854 miles of double fence along the smuggling routes of California, Arizona and Texas.
Vote for him and he will be. Just pull the little lever or whatever for Duncan Hunter and voila; we have our new President.
Come back pissant.
Hey, AuntB! Those words will never pass Rep. Hunter’s lips!
Thanks for taking up the slack for our dear pissant.
Mods, PLEASE FREE EL PISANNTO!
Ditto!
I would love to see Brit Hume interview Duncan Hunter.
Brit has a large audience.
Duncan needs to find a way to become internationally recognized.
How do we do that?
BTTT.
Can I "borrow" this sentence? :) I could use it for one of Duncan's pies :)
>I asked myself what is stopping us from having that kind of enthusiasm for our candidate?<
Well, write letters to the editors about our great candidate Send by either email or snail mail word about him to everyone we know. Check to see if one’s precinct has a Republican Precinct Committee Officer, and if they do not, ask your Republican Chairman to appointed you. Then attend the local Republican caucus, representing Duncan Hunter.
Contribute generously to his campaign, requesting mailer cards, bumper stickers, and brochures, and make sure they don’t just sit on your counter, and distribute them to everyone you know and everyone you don’t know.
Call talk shows and ask them to have Duncan Hunter on their programs, or tell them what good things he has been doing.
These things all take a little time, a little money (the mailer card postage is only .27 cents)
One can, by contacting the local Republican chairman, receive a list of PCO’s for one’s county. Call them to remind them on Duncan Hunter’s behalf to watch a Republican Debate coming up.
There are many things we can do - have a garage sale and send the proceeds to the Hunter campaign -
Go Hunter 08

We all have the enthusiasm, now here are some things we can do with it. Thank you.
GO DUNCAN HUNTER!
You're right, they have passion and we could use a dose of that.

I was quoting AuntB's posting #12 (and bumping it to the top of the recent postings list), so certainly as far as I am concerned you may.
Por favor?
RIP Wendell.
Exactly...
ROFL, what language is that--Esperanto!
Does Duncan Hunter support people trashing Fred Thompson 24/7? I doubt it.
