Thanks for the reply. I found that on the Internet, but its not the answer I'm looking for. No offense, but that is talking around the issue because it says nothing about what Mr. Thompson would do about the 12 to 20 million of illegals here today. I want them out, plain and simple. I know that sounds harsh, but I've had enough of this. Its time we get tough on this issue and many other issues. I've had enough of the RNC too. They have blown it big time. Its time to elect people that tell us plain and simple what they will do and do it.

Fred Thompson has said we have to enforce Border Security, make sure we stop those coming in, so that we CAN concentrate on dealing with just those who are here, and not have to continually bail out the leaky boat.

It is very clear that Fred wants the border enforce, and will use a policy of attrition to remove people. Just because he said we can’t deport all of them, doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to remove most of them.

“I think most people feel disillusioned after 1986 when we had this deal offered to them before, and now we’re insisting that, you know, we solve the security problem first, and then we’ll talk about what to do with regard to other things - certainly no amnesty or nothing blanket like that.”

If we can make it nearly impossible for an invader to get a job and give the border patrol the authority and resources to arrest illegals and send them back where they came from, more than half the battle will have been won.”
