people are pounding the meaning right out of the word “amnesty”. it has happened in this very thread. it seems to mean whatever the most hysterical among us want it to mean.
no one can satisfy such a requirement. not walker, not perry, and not ted cruz. it’s simply impossible. if we’re going to make it an absolute requirement, and we are, then we need to define it clearly and apply it consistently.
When newly elected Dwight Eisenhower moved into the White House, America's southern frontier was as porous as a spaghetti sieve. As many as 3 million illegal migrants had walked and waded northward over a period of several years for jobs in California, Arizona, Texas, and points beyond.
President Eisenhower cut off this illegal traffic. He did it quickly and decisively with only 1,075 United States Border Patrol agents – less than one-tenth of today's force.
America "was faced with a breakdown in law enforcement on a very large scale," Mr. Brownell (Attorney General) said. "When I say large scale, I mean hundreds of thousands were coming in from Mexico [every year] without restraint."
In 1954, Ike appointed retired Gen. Joseph "Jumpin' Joe" Swing, a former West Point classmate and veteran of the 101st Airborne, as the new INS commissioner.
General Swing's fast-moving campaign soon secured America's borders – an accomplishment no other president has since equaled. Illegal migration had dropped 95 percent by the late 1950s.
Well, I have defined what I believe needs to be done in terms of beginning a policy of deportation one by one of illegal aliens.
I will also add the I want anchor baby policies done away with.
All that being said, my guy is Ted Cruz. I’m pretty sure that Ted and I are not on the same page on this, yet I’ll vote for him.
If Walker ends up the nominee, at this time I have no reason to not vote for him. So in the general, certainly, he would get my vote unless something comes up with him that I am not currently aware of.
But even then it would have to be a pretty big something. He seems like a good candidate.
But I will not vote for Jeb Bush at all, ever, for any reason.
I will vote against him in the general.
