"Twelve million illegal immigrants later, we are now living in a nation that is beset by people who are suicidal maniacs and want to kill countless innocent men, women and children around the world, ...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,"

Fred remarks on issues with strength and conviction. No pussy-footing around with this big boy. In my view, the only clear choice. I understand why he must wait to declare, but I’m turning blue anyway.

Fred blaming the 1986 immigration law for today’s immigration problem? I hope this is out of context or not a good summary, because if he thinks it’s true he is showing a total lack of understanding about the history of illegal immigration in this country. He may want to stick with generalities in the future.

[wardaddy]

what about the 12-”who really knows” millions already here

would Fred run on a deport platform?

I like Fred and probably will support him if he runs since I doubt Tancredo or Hunter can get the nomination

but does anyone think Fred will unequivocally say they have to all go home and apply for “some sort of temporary migrant worker” visa.

that would be pretty interesting

Thompson? Oh yeah, he’s the guy who lost my vote by saying it’s “unrealistic” to send back the millions of illegals who are here.
