You do understand that any candidate for President who took this position would never be elected. Ever. It’s a total non-starter.
For the most part, all candidates except Bachmann have essentially the same position on illegal immigration, and Bachmann is walking dead.
1. No deportation of most illegals
2. Some legal documentation to get illegals on the record.
3. Border security.
4. Non-return paths to citizenship.
That’s as good as it going to get.
But we want purity here at FR, which we never get anyway, and what we're going to end up with is Obama for 4 more years and COMPLETE amnesty. We're a clever sort, aren't we?
Newt's dead? No, the country is dead if we re-elect the Chicago disaster to another term.
If you think this is not a HUGE issue with the American people.....you’re huffing whippet canisters.
The majority of real AMERICANS, who don’t sit down to pee, want ALL ILLEGAL ALIEN BEANERS DEPORTED and the BORDER SEALED. PERIOD.
You are right on some, but there can be a stronger hand. First of all, follow the Arizona law. Second, any illegals arrested for a crime has got to go. Third, focused infiltration of gangs especially MS-13. Fourth, federal prosecution of state officials who fail to enforce federal laws. This can be done and help bring order back to our society. Heat alone will help stem a lot of the problem. The problem is that the federal gov’t and presidents of both parties have ceded US sovereignty in California especially and have invited and encouraged the problem to grow.
