Ohio Governor and Republican presidential candidate John Kasich stated that he would prefer for illegal immigrants in the US to be legalized once we find out who they are in an interview broadcast on CNNs The Lead on Wednesday.
Kasich said of illegal immigrants already in the US, I would prefer for them to be legalized once we find out who they are, Because they I think they contribute a lot to America. Theyre hard workers, theyre god-fearing, theyre family-oriented. If they committed a crime, theyve got to be deported or put in prison. The only reason I say that is, we have to solve this, but I dont favor citizenship. I dont favor it and Im not sure we would ever have to do that. Lets make citizenship getting in here legally, thats my view on it. But Im just not going to pound the table on all these things and say, My way or the highway. I mean, I will on some things, but Ive got to be careful about that. Because you know what, I actually think about what it would be to be president. So, do you ever notice when people run for president, they make lots of promises and they never keep them?
Kasich also discussed moving away from his support for ending birthright citizenship, stating the move was because I dont believe it should be a fundamental part of this whole thing because I think it remains dividing people, to be honest with you. And look, Congressman from Ohio, somebody says if somebody comes in illegally and they have a kid, is the kid a citizen, maybe we shouldnt to do that. But I think we need to get over that.

I support legalization, if it means deportation. Once they’re not here any more, they’re legal!
Looks like Bush has found his running mate.
Bank robbery is a Federal crime we need sanctuary cities so the poor can rob banks with out retribution.
These politicians are SO worried about the treatment of illegals and the status of illegals.
When are these politicians going to show concern FOR THE CITIZENS WHO ELECTED THEM? The citizens who become victims of crimes many — not all, of course — illegals commit. The citizens who are having to pay to subsidize illegals in healthcare, education and social services?
Every one of these politicians are violating their oath of office!
Stick a fork in him, he is toast.
Then deport them all since all have committed the crime of illegally entering the country.
Thank you for playing!

But the position on immigration is the same...build a fence, kick bad guys out and let good people stay. Kasich says no oath to citizenship.
... and I’ prefer that Jeb Junior take his silly-assed self back to Ohio and remove his name from consideration for president or vice president.
