A website's been established to track the presidential candidates' positions on immigration issues.
``Numbers USA" is a non-partisan, anti-illegal immigration group which breaks down each candidate's stance on 16 immigration issues.
``We look at workplace enforcement, we look at the fence, we look at helping local governments to help enforce the law, we look at chain migration," said founder Ron Beck.
He listed the Republicans, from toughest on illegal immigration to the weakest.
``It's pretty much (Tom) Tancredo, (Duncan) Hunter, (Fred) Thompson, then Ron Paul, (Mike) Huckabee, (Mitt) Romney, then much lower (Rudy) Giuliani and way down at the bottom (John) McCain."
As for the Democrats, Beck said, ``Every single one of them is just awful. We rank everyone of the Democratic candidates abysmal, on amnesty for example."
The website's updated daily as candidates address the issue.•Presidential immigration website
bump
Tommy dropped out didn’t he?
Go Fred, you’re number one now.
This is the year for immigration and security issues. The candidates would be best to concentrate spreading their stance on this far and wide.
Duncan Hunter is number one on the illegal immigration issue,fred has always been #2.
Taking this at face value, Fred Thompson is #1 on immigration among the top tier.
Fred is the one.

It’s early my FRiend.
Yes it is early, but not that early. Still, I know Hunter is your man and will remain your man.
But others, who are looking for a 4th quarter save from one of the other top tier “conservatives in name only”, may find Fred a very good choice, as I do.
