Enjoy the read...
There are candidates I hope will win nomination. That includes Cruz, Walker, Pence, Kasich, Jindal.
There are others who I prefer by 10:1 over Hillary. Huckster from Arkanas, Randy from Kentucky, Rubio the Cuban, and the donut lover from NJ.
Romney, Jeb Bush are non-starters under any circumstances. Because they are sure losers to Hillary in 2016.
I’m for comprehensive immigration reform. I want a fence from El Paso to Los Angeles, and I want the law enforced. Comprehensively.
Let the chips fall where they fall.
Cruz is the one guy who seems to take a stand against amnestizing these guys.
He’s my guy. Thanks for this little list. Very helpful.
After spending a vacation in Singapore less than a year ago, I have come to admire their economy and immigration laws. They have low business taxes. No food stamps...zero! No unemployment compensation...zero!
So every working age adult has a job. Guess what their unemployment rate is? It is MINUS 40%. For those in Rio Linda that means they have 40% more jobs than working age citizens. High Tech industry is flourishing.
Those 40% excess jobs which citizens of Singapore do not particularly care for, are filled by importing foreign workers on 2 year work visa’s. After 2 years they are required to go back and apply again. Extremely few of these foreign workers cause trouble because then they are permanently barred for future jobs in Singapore.
Singapore is a mixed population of Chinese, Indians, and Arabs, with a few British left over from colonial era. Every sixth Singapore citizen is a millionaire. The infrastructure such as airport, hospitals, underground hiways, ocean cruise ships terminal etc make ours in USA look like third world. College education ts merit based and subsidized to citizens.
Real comprehensive immigration reform:
1. Secure our borders and ports and provide verifiable metrics
2. End the anchor-baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment
3. Make eVerify mandatory and enforce it with large fines
4. Reduce legal immigration quotas and end chain migration
5. Deport illegals upon contact with any law enforcement agency
6. No local, state or federal government benefits of any kind
7. Any health and/or other care billed back to the home country
8. Lifetime ban on path to citizenship for anyone who entered illegally
9. Make illegal entry a felony
Cruz did introduce a bill that would have supported “permanent legal residency status” and if that happens, some people feared it could lead to citizenship. I think he was trying to make the best out of a bad situation.
Actually each of them supports illegal aliens being able to just waltz into our sovereign country..
This has nothing to do with immigration..
I believe it was Carson in IA stating he preferred a guest worker program but you could only apply for it from outside the US. no exactly how sure that resolves those inside that refuse to leave (so they can apply).
PING

I think there’s also an issue on whether Congress would push back against certain candidates more than others like they did with Bush.
I think Jeb is the last person who’d actually convince congress to pass an amnesty.
Rand is another. I don’t think Congress is as likely to trust Rand on Law and Order than if some Conservative Messiah like Walker or Carson tries to push amnesty.
Eisenhower and I believe I read Truman and even FDR had a mass deportation. The mindset in America now would make it difficult to ever win a war like WWII. Maybe we could but I’m not certain.
“he told the Journal Sentinel in an interview Sunday he hasn’t taken a position on citizenship for illegal immigrants”
This was about Walker. If he has no opinion, then he doesn’t believe our laws matter nor has any concern for those waiting in line.
That’s all I need to know. He’s not a true conservative and I wouldn’t vote for hum.
Illegals have ruined mexifornia- I’m escaping in exactly 5 days and anyone who doesn’t think this issue will destroy this country ought to visit the invaded states, better yet live there and suffer the consequences of the invasion.
For whatever reason, Breitbart’s web pages absolutely fry my (fair new) computer’s brain. Some good stuff there, but I tend to avoid it.
Could you list the politicians and each one’s stance on immigration?
Many thanks,

Just as importantly, what is their position on legal immigration?
Sadly, there is no good news on that front. Even Cruz supports mass legal immigration.
None of them get my primary vote.
Cruz is the best candidates.
Because illegal immigration amnesty has a real potential to destroy the country I consider it a deal breaker.
I will not EVER vote for ANYONE who favors amnesty.
