Not so great, actually. He also gets a career "C" from Americans for Better Immigration. Though I think he's come around to a more Hunter-esque position in recent times.

I would have gotten an F in the 80s. Then I realised “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me”. I trusted the government would secure the borders back then.

For your viewing pleasure. To his credit Fred sounded the alarm today.

“With this bill, the American people are going to think they are being sold the same bill of goods as before on border security. We should scrap this bill and the whole debate until we can convince the American people that we have secured the borders or at least have made great headway.”

Poor Tom looks like a nervous nellie in the debates. But there is a guy even better than Tom on immigration, Duncan Hunter.

You agree with that statement?

Yes I do. I also agree with Hunter’s years long calls to dramatically increase the size of the border patrol, and to punish companies hiring illegals to the full extent of the law, and to go after the bastards like Rudy who set up illegal sanctuary cities and to get rid of the unconstitutional anchor baby nonsense.

Read a little more carefully. He wasn’t great on the illegals either.

We had a construction company for a long time...we always believed we had to have 2 pieces of i.d. on file for every employee plus the W-9 filled out...or we could end up in big trouble. Guess we were wrong....

I don’t trust a site that lumps illegal immigration in with legal and then gives a “grade”.

That’s not fair or honest.

They also marked him down for voting to allow Cubans amnesty. We have a moral obligation to support Cubans who are fighting Communism.

That “report” is totally bogus.

Well keep your eye out for Hunter. He’s going to be clawing his way into the top tier. I’d love to spend time arguing Fred or Duncan rather than having to waste energy trying to flush a couple of turds at the top now.

Many are jumping on the FThompson bandwagon and saying he is a conservative. His record seems to make him more of a moderate who followed the party line.

I still haven’t heard must from Thompson that makes me fawn after him. He has talked around some of the major issues, but he hasn’t given much in the way of details of how he would deal with situations. Allot of the bots try to fill in the details, but I want to hear them from Thompson, himself; not from some bot saying this or that is what he would do.

I noticed that too. I thought it was strange because I always thought once a Cuban made it to the beach he was home free and would never be forced to return back to Cuba.

Makes me wonder where Nicaragua was back then. Certainly not the Nicaragua of today

What other organizations rank politicians on their immigration votes?
