Does it really matter that much?
All of the candidates say they’re going to seal the borders (whether all of them have the spine to do it, is a different story).
Nobody is going to deport all illegals. So the differences will be in what pathways to citizenship are there for those who remain.
It seems to me this is a very important issue, has been for years and we keep getting more of the same and an horrible drain on our country as if a spigot cannot be turned off, it was even as an issue risen in the very face of King Obama himself on Arizonan soil yesterday by a courageous woman, Governor down there who is under literal invasion. At any rate, my analysis of this position is that it is, or could be categorized under that of, traditional “compassionate conservatism”. Such as per John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney under his governorship, Bush/Rove, etc.
