It is illegal for illegal aliens to work in this country and it is illegal for employers to hire them. And illegals cannot receive welfare benefits. So why are we educating them?
Cain got my vote!
I love Cain.
We don’t have to settle...(Perry)
Agree!!!
They are getting thier money fro the same pools (or pots) as legal citizens and legal immigrants—student loans, student scholarships, student grants, and work-study and off campus jobs...
Tho we may be getting their money, they are taking taking money and jobs from those who are here legally. Why is illegality sanctioned?
Cain is looking good.
Of the nine on that stage tonight; Cain was the only one that impressed me...judging from this thread; many others agree.
“@ArletteSaenz
Arlette Saenz Perry met Heather Burcham, the woman who died of cervical cancer, AFTER he issued the executive order.”
Did Arlette Saenz Perry claim to meet Heather Burcham before the Exec. Order?
This last segment has been a total waste of time — none are going to commit to naming someone else on the stage as their VP tonight.
You are wrong. I live in Texas 100 yard from the border and he is dead wrong on the border. Don’t listen to what he says...watch what he does...everything to pander to the Mexicans and nothing but words for USA. Won’t ever vote for him for President.
I hope to God that Mitt is not the nominee. But against Obama? I would work my butt off to get him elected.
Google "Hoover Dam" over there by Vegas. If you can do that, you can do anything. Perry does not WANT a fence in TX. I know that because I LIVE in TX.
If you want to make an issue out of Obama's corruption, you better make sure our house is in order first.
If Romney happens to become the nominee, say hello to four more years of Obama. I don’t know how we’ll survive.
Who for Running mate ???
Johnson: Paul
Santorum: Newt
Newt: Wont choose
Paul: Wont choose
Perry: Mix of Cain and Newt
Romney: Wont choose
Buchmann:
Cain: Newt but if Romney through out his something...
Huntsman: Cain
Ronald Reagan brought tears to my eyes every time he spoke. He was an inspiration to everyone! He inspired people to be great...
Rush is gone tomorrow. Mark Steyn will be subbing for him, so we have to wait until Monday to get his reaction.
The proponents of amnesty are wont to create the false choice between a blanket amnesty and mass deportation of 12 to 20 million illegal aliens. In reality, we have other choices and alternatives that don’t reward people who have broken our laws with the right to stay and work here and an eventual path to citizenship. The 12 to 20 million illegal aliens did not enter this country overnight and they will not leave overnight. Attrition through enforcement works. We have empirical data from Georgia, Oklahoma, and Arizona proving that it does.
The Texan Perry supporters will be hysterical by your comments and the other Perry criticisms here tonight. At least, for this debate, they can’t blame Michele Bachmann for the guy’s poor showing.
