Former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson believes in our country and our laws. Thompson believes illegals are illegal, and should be sent home to apply to come into this country legally. Toleration of sanctuary cities must end. Companies hiring illegals should be heavily fined. And the fence between the United States and Mexico should be built immediately. As Thompson says, this is a matter of national security.
Thompson's views are in direct opposition to the bill which Sen. John McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham, along with Sen. Ted Kennedy, tried to shove through the Senate -- and down the throats of Americans -- that would have given amnesty to the 12 million illegal immigrants in our country today. We tried amnesty before, and the problem has just mushroomed.
Sen. Thompson is also in direct opposition to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who believes that children of illegal immigrants should be given scholarships to college, thus taking away places for our children's college education.
Illegal immigrants are financially draining our country's medical and educational systems. It's time to vote for someone who believes in our laws.

Blame amnesty on Law Enforcement that is not doing their job! Why??
The front line of law enforcement is responsible for arresting criminals. Why should they do their job if liberal judges or unelected cabinet officials let the criminals go?
Keep passing the buck.
The real problem is that unelected government officials are making policy based on personal preferences rather than the LAW.
One can pick and choose theirr solutions. But if one don’t have GUTS to take heat for the uprising, the left will scream bloody murder.
Thompson will not hesitate to identify the weak links in the illegal immigration and replace them.
FRed had a chance while in office but pushed amnesty instead. But then again, borders are not the only issue he has a weak record on.
