I would like to know what Michele is going to do once the border is secure and it is time to decide what to do about illegal immigrants already here.
At the Reagan library debate, she deflected from answering it.
“Michele Bachmann didn’t say what she thought should be done with the millions of illegal immigrants in the country already, but added, “Our immigration law worked beautifully back in the 1950s and 1960s. ... They would not become a burden” to American taxpayers.
She wouldn’t answer that twice at the FOX debate.
She wouldn’t answer when she held a mini presser with Sheriff Joe Arpaio and when asked what she would do with all the undocumented workers...
Michele: “Well of course what we need to do is first secure the borders.So this is a sequence issue. So we need to deal with that issue first, then deal with all the inducements that are out there and from there we’ll move on from there.”
What is Michele doing to support this, is her name on it?

There are a couple more up there lacking her name as a co-sponsor by Rep Poe
I should think this is every bit as important as the Lightbulb Act, if Michele is wanting to address this issue, she has some power to NOW, but she isn’t...why?
Also, even if she was elected and was able to get that fence, the studies and the fights—that fence wouldn’t even start going up until well into her second term.
The late, great Terry Anderson, who had a radio program where illegal immigration was the only topic, always warned to beware of politicians who say, "We need to secure the borders first." None of this "first" business! Wishy-washy politicians who talk about securing the borders "first" have no intention of doing anything about illegal immigration.
Illegal immigrants have been self-deporting at a rapid clip now since 2007. The lack of opportunities caused by enforcing the law will send them packing back to where they came from. People don’t seem to understand this. Sealing the border keeps new people form coming in. Penalizing employers will send the ones here home. Also, cutting off the gravy train of benefits will send them. As well as ending the anchor baby fiasco.
