"....Supporting Perry is supporting illegal immigration......"

Just curious....where is Cain on the whole border/immigration/security issue? Has he said much?

Yep, Cain has said a whole lot more on all the issues then Perry, or any of other the Establishment candidates, have said.

Cain’s position on illegal immigration is the same as Perry and Romney. Secure the border. Enforce current law.

I don't know if he's introduced a plan for how he would handle illegal immigration, but there hasn't been anyone this close to the White House who talks against it like he does ever since I have been following politics.
He said if Perry won the nomination he wouldn't endorse him and used the instate tuition for illegals as one reason.

He also had this to say in a Newsmax interview about the Arizona law, On the issue of illegal immigration, Cain told Newsmax he wants to empower the states so they can enforce their own policies.“I wouldn't’t have sued Arizona,” he said, referring to the backlash against the law known as SB 1070. “I would have sent them a medal.”

Border control remains the responsibility of the federal government, but in the absence of proper enforcement, the matter should be turned over to the states, Cain told Newsmax.

“We have got to close off our borders because if we do not, we are not going to be able to deal with the other problems of enforcing the laws that are here,” he said. “One of my proposals is to empower the states to deal with the illegals that are already here.”

It's ridiculous, but that's something none of the most recent Presidential candidates on either side would have said. Cain's the first serious candidate who looks like he might win this thing that has spoken out on an issue like this that is in line with what the majority of Americans believe. The link below is the Newsmax article.

I have copied and pasted from Herman Cain’s website what he says on immigration. It’s not the same as Perry, who called us heartless and doubled down on that statement, or Romney who we all know will not do squat.

Cain on illegal Immigration (Herman Cain Website)

1) Secure the border with more boots on the ground. (Sep 2011)

2) We have a path to citizenship: it’s called legal immigration. (Aug 2011)

3) Not right to sue Arizona for trying to protect themselves. (Jun 2011)

4) Secure our borders; enforce our laws. (May 2011)

5) Where’s the fence? Not in the Immigration Bill!. (Jun 2007)
