-—”How would that work? Would it just be luck-of-the draw, if you were illegal but happened to be in a “good” state, you’d stay, but if you were in the “wrong” state you’d get deported? Or could a state allow you a week to clear out to another state?”-—
Simple, they just flee to sanctuary states, which Cain is okay with, and they all get to stay!
Of course, that is similar to the issue I have with Gingrich’s proposal for local boards deciding what to do — it makes it so that your outcome is based on where you happen to be located, which is an odd way of handling the issue.
BTW, I don’t get hung up on specific proposals, because I generally assume that anybody’s specific plan will get corrupted by the political process anyway, either for good or more likely bad.
So in fact, I worry about anybody who has a proposal right now, because it just opens up the can of worms — once you ask the congress to legislate new immigration law, you might well end up with something really bad.
Better just to enforce the law that exists. But I know everybody wants to tweak it someway or another. I’m pretty much stuck with that no matter what candidate we pick.
