Blackwell supports amnesty, which would destroy this country with the stroke of a pen. He has the same position as MCCain on the issue
&A with Ken Blackwell, Candidate for GOP Chairman
What is your solution for the 12 million people who are here illegally?
Blackwell: First, I think what we have to do first is stop the bleeding, meaning protect our borders. We then must have a reasonable--within the construct of our budgetary limits--have a program that basically says we will go after illegal immigrants, particularly those we suspect are engaged in criminal activity and we will prosecute and deport them. We then will have a system that puts folks who have come here illegally but havent engaged in criminal activity at the back of the line. So, the message we must continue to send is that we will strengthen, at every turn, the rule of law.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention: I hadn’t been aware of it and it is definitely a negative.

I don't quite understand - where's the amnesty support? What he is saying seems logical to me. 1)Close the borders 2)Get rid of the illegals who engage in other crimes 3)Deal with the others next. Unless "back of the line" is a code word for something else.

I think Blackwell’s plan is totally reasonable.
