Political Positions of Herman Cain - Immigration

This is a compiliation of Herman Cain quotes from three different interviews. It shows that Cain has been consistent on the issue.

[American Quilter]

Since Sarah’s not running, Herman Cain has become my choice for the GOP nomination.

I agree with his ideas. But giving more money to this is not going to get rid of 30 million illegals. Why can’t he round them up and get them out of the country. I do agree with doing the fence first so they don’t come back.

[A_Tradition_Continues]

If you enforce current laws that in itself would have the effect of rounding them up. Traffic stops, reporting employers hiring illegals, cutting off federal funds for sanctuary cites and eliminating federal benefits for illegals and eliminating citizenship for anchor babies would be very effective.

[ Why can’t he round them up and get them out of the country. ]

Why not pass building codes in the citys that makes it illegal to rent or sell property to illegal insurgents..
Let them DEPORT THEMSELVES.. the same way they got here..

That is you MUST be a legal resident to rent or buy property in that city or county..
Got to have a place to stay..

Soon it would become very hard to "live" in the US without proper documentation..
These codes should already be the case.. they are NOT.. currently..

[Logic n' Reason]

Since Sarah’s not running, Herman Cain has become my choice for the GOP nomination.

First, I was not aware that Ms. Palin had announced she was not running for office (tho I agree she will do so eventually).
Second, while I agree with Mr. Cain on most all of his positions, he seems to be an almost invisible "candidate".

In your opinion, how does he gain and hold national attention? I fear he'll remain invisible and will never be able to capture the nomination.

How Mexico deals with immigration and what it might teach us about how best to solve our illegal immigration problem.
Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are: in the country legally; have the means to sustain themselves economically; not destined to be burdens on society; of economic and social benefit to society; of good character and have no criminal records; and contributors to the general well-being of the nation.

The law also ensures that:
immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor; foreign visitors do not violate their visa status; foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics; foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported; foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported; those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.

Don’t need to round illegal aliens up.
1. Eliminate the concept of “anchor babies.”
2. Cut illegals off from jobs by provide resources for employers to vet their new employees and fining the hell of of them if they don’t.
3. Cut illegals off from benefits: welfare, education, “free” medical care.

Most of them will self deport.

“...promote the current citizenship process...It’s not that difficult. It’s democratic, it’s cumbersome, it might be confusing to some people, but if you go look it up, you’ll see: the steps are not that complicated.”

RIGHT!!

The process only SEEMS confusing and cumbersome to people who have NO intention of assimilating or learning English and who are PREDISPOSED to criminality.

If American citizenship was not WORTH having, it would be easy as pie.

However as it is, the ‘process’ (if properly enforced) IS LESS confusing and cumbersome than reducing yourself to the level of a criminal, validating criminality to your children and looking over your shoulder the rest of your life.

AND IN THE END you get to BE an American…. If THAT is not your goal, stay the h&^% OUT!!!!

Enforcing of the laws, especially employment laws has the same result as ‘rounding them up’, especially if you can get a lot of self-deportations. The math behind an all out ‘round them up’ is staggering. 30 million illegals, lets say your goal is to do it in four years and you have no more coming in. That amounts to almost 21 thousand deportations per day. You would have to find, process, convict, book, and transport 856 per hour. It is a good big goal but the practical effect of how you do this is daunting.

IF, however, you enforce existing laws, it will help you find them quickly. If you enforce employment laws and they can’t find jobs, plus they can’t get on any sort of assistance, I bet most would self-deport out of necessity. We are seeing this in States where there is no employment available, they are leaving for other States. Imagine this on a nation-wide scale.

I agree Palin probably won’t run, and would have trouble against Obama (but I’ll supporter her as the nominee.

Cain, however, gets to the nomination basically by being the last man standing if Palin doesn’t run.

The RINOs/Moderates will split the Establishment vote so much that Cain, as the only “real” conservative in the race (except perhaps Santorum who might get a little early support before dropping out) will, by default, end up on top.

I posted a more thorough analysis a few days ago.

[RockinRight]

Here’s how Cain could get the nomination:

-Huck doesn’t run - CONFIRMED
-Palin doesn’t run (more likely than many care to admit)
-Trump doesn’t run (??????)
-Newt, Daniels, and Romney are in, along with Crazy Uncle Ron Paul and Herman Cain, plus Santorum and Pawlenty and a few others nobody cares about.

Romney with his recent comments on healthcare doesn’t have the strength he expects, and basically runs neck and neck with Newt. Pawlenty and Daniels are behind the two, but the RINO/establishment vote basically splits between the four of them, all four failing to break 12% as a result.

Those looking for “outsider” experience go mostly to Cain. Social conservatives go to Santorum initially, but Santorum makes a surprisingly weak showing in Iowa and drops out.
Cain picks up most SoCons by default with Huck, Santorum, and Palin out of the race. Deficit hawks split between Cain and Crazy Uncle Ron.

Those looking for business savvy go 50/50 to Romney and Cain, but not enough to give Mitt the win. Cain places 2nd in Iowa, second in NH and first in SC.

Cain wins nomination.

Would make for a hell of a debate, wouldn't it??

MR. CAIN VS THE STAIN!

Two good speakers....one from the heart the head and experience....the other from whatever his teleprompter tells him.

Extraordinary theater!

[Brookhaven]

Looking at your analysis, I think 2012 may be the reverse of 2008.

In 2008, the conservatives split their vote, allowing the RINO/establishment candiate to win.

This time around, it looks like the establishment candidates may split their vote, and the coonservative/tea-partiers may coalese behind a single candidate.

We wish it grew there

[American Quilter]

First, I was not aware that Ms. Palin had announced she was not running for office (tho I agree she will do so eventually).

Since she hasn't given up her contract with Fox News, I was under the impression that she's not running. However, I could be wrong; she hasn't made an announcement.

As for Herman Cain, I'd never heard of him until the May 5th debate; he got his first national exposure then, and has since been making the rounds of TV and radio interviews. As time passes, he'll get the full-fledged attack treatment from the liberal media, who will feel the need to destroy any black Republican candidate, so he will certainly become nationally known!

[American Quilter]

Cain wins nomination.

From your keyboard to God's ears!

We must secure our borders, enforce our laws and promote the existing path to citizenship. Protecting our nation’s sovereignty should be a paramount concern of those elected to lead us, not an afterthought or a reaction once the problem becomes even worse. Further, taking a stand on the issue does not mean one lacks compassion, but instead, that one respects the rule of law and the importance of not becoming a lawless nation.

In other words, the foirmer member of the Fed wants amnesty for those here after we supposedly secure the borders. The only difference between his position and that of Obama, is that he might be honest about securing the border first, before rewarding invasion.
