Newt is openly for amnesty so we do know his plan. Bachmann is strongly against amnesty.

Perry needs to do better job in communicating, especially since this is crucial issue and his position unclear to many voters. Vague promises, like securing border are meaningless. I don’t live in IA or NH so I haven’t seen any ads.

I’m convinced that Perry wants to get control of the border and will do so if he’s elected President.

However, he also has to walk a fairly fine line on the issue to avoid losing the votes of the Hispanic population that is in this country legally. So far, I think he’s shown himself capable of doing that, and it’s reflected in the support he gets from Hispanic voters in the little bit of polling I’ve seen.

If he discusses the illegal issue in Sean Hannity terms, the “send them all back” crowd will love him, but he’ll lose massive ground among Hispanic voters who’ve lived here legally for years.

When Perry attacks the government or now Wall Street as being the cause of problems, he's capable of being very clear. On the other hand, when he starts pushing visa programs for illegal immigrants to come and go across our borders freely, things get a little hazy and confusing
