“You’re going to have to, in some way, work out a deal where they can have some aspirations of citizenship”. Fred Thompson, 2006
I can’t see Duncan Hunter making that statement.
The difference is, Thompson sounds just like Bush.
I'm not willing to go that far. I think one big difference between Thompson and Bush is that Thompson thinks in terms of premises and structure, which leaves good outcomes well rooted. Bush thinks in terms of outcome only, so he loses (gives away) a lot of important ground without even knowing he did it. If it works today then he is for it.
Still, Hunter is very very interesting to me and if Thompson (or Hunter for that matter) is weak somewhere, we need to know it before election day.
Yeah, it's called, "return to your country of origin and get at the end of the line."
I don’t think Hunter would vote to OK allowing American firms to fire American employees to replace them with foreign workers.
It’s amazing how so many of the fredbots are willing to overlook his positions on illegal alien amnesty. There are only 2 candidates who are serious about securing the border, and only one of them has gotten any results. That man is Duncan Hunter.

Duncan Hunter, again, did us proud yesterday! He has any subject well in hand, and deals with it in a matter of fact and Presidential manner.
With Duncan Hunter, there is no can’t.
That is disturbing.Hunter all the way!
Fred’s recent speech to the Lincoln Club in Orange County, CA is on you tube.
Here is a link to part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhJ5dy_MTxY&mode=related&search=
Part 1 was mostly jokes and Hollywood talk (warning - he thinks Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is great). In part 2 he has some interesting things to say (watch the video for exact quotes but these are pretty close - I was trying to write fast)
On Globalization - “Globalization? We’re not afraid of it. It’s a good thing for America.”
On NAFTA- He loves it; wants more of it.
Immigration - He focused on border security and terrorist threats, then said the 12 million illegals here are not as much a concern as the next 12 and the next 12 and so on. He said once border security is addressed, “people of good will” can sit down and work out the rest of it together. Yikes.
Also said our current demographics/birth rate is not enough to support the pension plans and pay the bills. Interpret that as you will in light of the above view on immigration.
I haven’t watched part 3 and 4 yet. He came across as likeable enough (who isn’t compared to Hillary), but his intentions are not those of which I share for the future of this country.
