We need to deport or imprison ALL illegal aliens, including their anchor babies, seal/secure the border with armed troops, a fence and a wall and shoot anyone who tries to re-enter illegally.
“Haley Barbour, 2012, and the Need for a Focus on Illegal Immigration”
There’s far more than Illegal Immigration to “focus” on.
Barbour supplied a crappy reason why we shouldn’t enforce the rule of law. Without the rule of law everything in this country comes apart.
A good place to begin looking for exactly how that is happening is in southern Arizona.

Illegal Immigrants Detained, Then Released After Traffic Stop, Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 12:24 pm
ELLSWORTH — A traffic stop on Route 1 Sunday led police to discover two illegal immigrants, who were questioned and subsequently released by an immigration official, police reported.
The incident occurred when Officer Chris Smith stopped a vehicle because it had a fictitious inspection sticker.
Two Hispanic men who were passengers in the car had fake identification, said Lt. Harold Page.
Smith brought the men to the police station, where they were questioned by a U.S. Immigrations and Custom Enforcement agent from the agency’s Bangor office.
The agent determined the men were in the United States illegally and let them go, Page said.
“They work for a guy in Massachusetts and he had them up here working on his house,” said Page.
A spokesman for the agency had not returned a call before press time.
There are quite a few Republican politicians running around and spouting the get tough on border security line. But if we listen closely, like Barbour, they then begin the “once the border is secure, we can decide what to do with those already here” song and dance.
Several questions have to be asked and answered in simple terms before we can know what any potential candidates actually support. I’m not sure there is even one potential candidate who has clearly committed to securing the border, enforcing all immigration laws, and no paths to citizenship for illegals of any sort. They must self-deport or be deported whenever they come to the attention of law enforcement.
And the MSM and most debate moderators will give us no help in getting straight answers to those questions.
Of all the Establishment long-shot alternatives, Thune is the only one, for whatever reason, who not only is not weak on illegal immigration—he actually is quite strong on it. I don’t like him on ethanol or TARP or big-government spending, but this immigration thing is really central IMO to the survival of the GOP and the country.
Barbour is DOA as a potential nominee due to this issue.
Pushing amnesty and swearing it isn’t amnesty doesn’t fool anyone, it just makes them madder.
His statement sounds exactly like Juan McSham.
