AZ is just enforcing federal immigration laws. King is so damned uninformed on this issue. Now he is creating the phony strawman of blanket amnesty versus mass deportation. Those aren’t the choices. Attrition thru enforcement. No path to citizenship for illegals. Rewarding something gets more of it.

I agree re: gays and abortion (because all the candidates there are pro-life) but I think immigration is worth discussing. That is not a wedge issue.

Illegal immigration using gov freebies -

Santorum - son of a legal immigrant. Grandfather didn’t come for gov freebie. No freebies for visa overstays.

Paul - bankrupted hospitals and schools. Protect our borders. Tax payers shouldn’t pay for illegals. Shouldn’t blame Catholic Church (uh, yes we should blame anyone aiding and abetting - wrong answer Paul)

Cain - immigration is 4 prob - secure border, promote path to citizenship, empower the states with what the national gov won’t do, and enforce laws already on the books.

Pawlenty - fed gov not doing its job so let states protect their borders. Appoint conservative judges.

Shut up John!

Newt - Backed up Cain. Put National Guard on border rather than in middle east. Put homeland security on the border (sort of dumb with that but getting there)

Have my non-political wife here...she’s very impressed with Bachmann...good answers, clear speaker, no-nonsense. “Much better than Palin.”

Great to protect the borders, but how do you get these parasites out that are here NOW?

They’re lined up at our public health departments every single day ...sucking up funds.

They’re bankrupting us NOW — more than anyone will admit.

Gingrich is an amnesty guy. Don’t be fooled. He talks about dealing with the illegals “humanely,” which is code for amnesty.

I’m not a Gingrich fan, but he got immigration right. Cain too.
