At least Herman Cain will come out with details. Most other politicians won’t.
Those are details? Besides he keeps changing the "details."
These are details from an executive who actually has to deal with it.
Oct 6, 2011 Interviewing Rick Perry On Illegal Immigration [10 Points]

"I have long been a proponent of strategic fencing because it is a critical component of border security, and it works when used in the right places.
I think what caused the hang up was that after it was passed, it was amended to give Homeland Security complete discretion on how, when and whether the fence ever gets built. Obviously with this president, that means it will never be completed.
If I’m elected, I will direct my Secretary of Homeland Security to expedite construction of strategic fencing along the border, especially in high traffic areas where manpower alone is insufficient to do the job.
But it’s important to remember that fencing is only one component of an overall border security strategy. A fence is only as secure as it is manned.
That’s why I would increase manpower on the border, starting with thousands of National Guard and border patrol agents, and I’d also make greater use of unmanned aerial vehicles to help gather real-time law enforcement intelligence.
We know for a fact that increased manpower is effective, because we’ve proved it in Texas with our $400 million border security effort."

The federal DREAM Act is an amnesty bill, and I strongly oppose amnesty. The Texas educational residency bill was vastly different.
Because the federal government has failed in its basic duty to protect our borders, states are forced to deal with illegal immigrant issues.
In Texas, we had to deal with the children of illegal immigrants residing in our state and attending our schools, as the federal government requires states to educate these children through the public school system. Lawmakers in Texas – indisputably one of the most conservative states in America – were virtually unanimous in their decision.
The Legislature determined the payment of in-state college tuition is available to all students who have lived in Texas for at least three years and graduated from a public high school. If you meet those requirements, you pay in-state tuition, whether you relocated from Oklahoma, Idaho, Canada or Mexico. The only difference is that Texas residents who aren’t documented must be on the path to pursue U.S. citizenship to be allowed to pay in-state tuition.
There were a number of reasons the bill received widespread support among conservatives. Importantly, it has never had a cost to Texas taxpayers. In fact, our institutions of higher learning would actually lose tens of millions of dollars in lost tuition payments if the law were repealed.
And it would lower the odds that these students would receive subsidized health care or end up in prison. Protecting taxpayers was a serious concern, given that a Supreme Court decree already requires taxpayers to pay for K-12 education for undocumented students.

He has details one day, takes it back the next, goes back to original on day three.
Detail; it was a joke; I meant it the first time.~Cain
Romney had a 150-page plan. It may be ugly, it may not be good, but it sure is detailed.
Perry has issued the first part of his plan, and it’s pretty detailed for it’s section.
Cain’s “plan” is 8 bullets in a 2-page campaign flyer posted to his web site.
One of the bullets is that he will implement 9-9-9 by having the supercommittee “pass” the legislation. Well, the supercommittee can’t “pass” anything, they are just 12 people. They DO make a recommendation, and that recommendation has to be voted up or down without amendment or committee debate. But in order for his 9-9-9 plan to be considered by the SC, he would have to actually WRITE a legislative proposal and submit it — unless he’s going to be like Obama and expect them to write his plan for him.
And he has to do it quick, because they finish their job around Thanksgiving.
And he has to hope they don’t mind taking on a totally unauthorized job in addition to the task that are required to do by law. Cain thinks they have spare time, and has no problem with them messing around with stuff that has nothing to do with their job — which was a big conservative complaint when the debt bill was passed, that the SC would meddle in other things. And that because of the onerous military cuts, republicans would have to vote for whatever they proposed.
And here is Cain, trying to squeeze his 9-9-9 program through that shortcut legislative process, so Obama can sign it. And if the democrats make it a 10-10-10, Cain can’t veto it, because Obama is President.
But Cain has shown no indication he plans to submit anything to them. Maybe he’s remembering his days as a CEO, where he would write a memo and his staff would run off and create a detailed plan and implement it and report back to him. Government certainly doesn’t work that way.
