But Ricardo Perry sure loves to educate those anchor babies and La Raza loves him back.
yup.
Which is, frankly, a better solution -- on the El Paso-Brownsville section of the border (which is a river).
Yes - I noticed that too. Cain is no longer insisting on a physical fence the whole distance which is closer to Perry’s position although Perry wants more people on the ground. Cain’s position makes more sense because people are expensive. A fence has to be cheaper than paying people all along the path or drones. Bachmann staying put on the fence. Good for her.
My 11 year old just said”someone needs to fix Mexico”
I can second that...with fed chair, Ron Paul and Speaker of the House Bachmann.
Computers?
I’d say “stronger” than his performance in past debates, but that is a relative statement.
Romney is an ass! Perry is puffed up and ticked off. I wish they would just stop debating.... this only helps the other side. They need to take down Obama and not each other.
Good point. Romney is right to question Perry’s state immigration record. The illegal working on the house is a cheap shot, Tancredo had the same thing happen to him. Romney is still a RINO on too many other issues.
Not much mention of the Mexican cartels on the borders or the gun running ATF issue to Mexican drug lords...
Ron Paul just had to get in his withdraw from Afghanistan line.
must resist making joke about 23 step children.....
Bachman is the only one who hits the mark head on ANCHOR BABIES.
Thank you! He is all about me, "my time", etc. I really want to kick him in the shins and tell him to STFU and let the people that I might vote for speak. Men who groom themselves to that degree are never to be trusted.
Nevada sure loved the jobs to build Yucca Mt.
Illegals are entitled to healthcare in Massachusetts and they do not have to pay into the system. Citizens who do not have healthcare and don’t apply for Romneycare are fined up to $3,000 per year.
Ok - whatever - “how American”./s
I happen to love this country and want Obama out. I remember how scattered FR was back in 2008. McCain was vilified.
Republicans need to stop the infighting - it’s accomplished absolutely nothing.
Relatively large Mormon population.
