Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Monday landed the endorsement of fellow governor Robert Bentley of AlabamaLater in the day, Kasich became the third candidate to file for South Carolina's 2016 Republican primary, the first contest in the South on Feb. 20, and reiterated his difference with GOP front-runner Donald Trump on illegal immigration.
During a visit to South Carolina Republican Party headquarters in Columbia, Kasich said, he, like Trump, wants to finish construction of a wall between the United States and Mexico.
"Anyone who comes in illegally will have to be sent back," Kasich said.
Unlike Trump, Kasich has called for a path to legal citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants now in the country. Most are, "God-fearing, good hard-working people, and they’re part of our country now," Kasich said, repeating assertions he made in New Hampshire last week.
"I don’t think we need to be engaged in trying to figure out how to load them on buses and ship them to the border because I don't think it’s even practical or the right thing to do," Kasich said, The State reported.
At the endorsement, announced Monday at the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in Birmingham, Bentley said Kasich has the executive level experience and background necessary to lead.
"I have watched him over the years and I chose him because of his heart," Bentley said, adding that he believes the two have similar approaches toward governing.
Bentley is the first Deep South governor to endorse Kasich, who is generally viewed as being among the more moderate Republican contenders. Kasich said he didn't spend time during his term as governor building broader name recognition and that he thinks an endorsement from Bentley — a past supporter of and delegate for Mike Huckabee — will go a long way.

Toasted toast from the toastiest toaster.
Kasich is gone.
Geez!
Trump is smoking them out. He’s playing 3d chess while the rest are shooting marbles.
Kasich like Perry has made the mistake of opposing Trump on a critial issue, on which Trump is right, in the hopes of attracting attention.
Big mistake.
“Jeb” Kasich - for when you really want a RINO but just can’t take another Bush.
They may be God fearing.
But they also want free stuff and they vote Democrat.
Most importantly they are breaking the law.
Kasich is nuts.

AMNESTY
Another big-government progressive, of the Republican brand.
Practically interchangeable with Bush, just without the Clinton ties.
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not bare false witness
Thou shalt not covet.
All actions that one takes once he decides to enter into another Country illegally.
Don't care. There is a legal way to gain citizenship and if you didn't follow those laws, you broke the law, you are not a citizen, and should leave and follow the legal path if you still desire to become a citizen. The argument that because you broke the law years ago instead of yesterday deserves some kind of special treatment is specious. You're here illegally. If our standing laws mean anything, go home or go to jail.
But John just told us yesterday he does not use the Bible to help him make decisions.
Didn’t Kasich once say...”I Don’t Read a Bible to Figure Out What I Think”.
Now he thinks illegals are “God-Fearing”?
He should head the Peace Corp.
Well, if he does not use the Bible, he should at the very least follow the law and follow the US Constitution.
See ya, Johnny
You are soooo out of touch with Mainstream America
Move to Mexico and take your illegal pals with you
Enjoy your craphole life there
There are a LOT of God Fearing people in the world.
We can’t take them all in and protect our own Americans too.
ABSOLUTELY-how many votes can he share with Trump or Cruz?
God-fearing?
Apparently they don’t seem to fear having to answer for their law-breaking.
Kasich, who is generally viewed as being among the more moderate Republican contenders.
