I watched Cain talk about this and honestly couldn’t make heads or tails out of it. It was like he always tries to do: be everything to everyone. With Perry and Gingrich at least you have been clear-cut plans that are pretty well understandable, even if you don’t agree with them.
It’s a dumb idea.
Cain seems to have a lot of them.
If the states are allowed to deal with it, States like Maryland and California, and Florida will become suburbs of Mexico.
It’s a National Problem anyway because States cannot make someone a citizen nor do states have ICE, Immigration, or Border Patrols.States cannot order deportations.
Now, what to do with the Perry bashers? He led on the issue of what is possible and practical and has already taken lemons and make lemonade. ALL other candidates are playing catch up, as their own commentary now lines up with Rick Perry. Bachman, Newt, Romney and Cain. Next?
This is because Cain himself probably has no idea what he's talking about. It is clear he doesn't understand the issue and the Federal responsibility for immigration enforcement.
Cain is just making it up as he goes along. He bluffed his way this far with motivational speaking skills, but on the issues he basically doesn't know what he's talking about. Fortunately, Cain will not be the nominee.
What the heck??? How do the States have any legal authority to deport any person? THEY DON’T, that is 100% Fed.
Cain is evolved to bagasse. What do they say about dying from 1000 paper cuts?
but there is always his 999 ...
It sounds like you get easily lost in the details.
Maybe you should look for the best leader, the man or woman of most conviction, whose philosophy is closest to yours, and stick with that person. Leave the detailed analysis to others.
