Don’t try to drape me between those two horns. I do not find that my support of Thompson provides me with any sort of dilemma whatsoever on the subject of illegal immigration.
I happen to agree with 98% of what I clearly understand his position to be and I won’t be manipulated by your out-of-context quotations.
You are clearly attempting to engage in partisan hair splitting and equivocation. Thompson is for enforcing the border and immigration laws already on the books first.
Then he is in favor of creating circumstances through additional enforcement in the interior, and other measures not really specified, to create conditions where many - if not most - of these miscreants will voluntarily repatriate themselves from whence they came.
If they don’t... well that’s where the “60 day amnesty” comes in - and I have never seen anything that would intdicate to me that Thompson would have any issue whatsoever with such a proposal.
So take your “straw men”, your definitional slight-of-hand, and your quoting out of context and head back to the beige room. The interview is over.
Nice try.
But as along as your man continues to evade, I will continue to expose.
If Big Money, Big Business, Big Chamber of Commerce, Big CAFTA/NAFTA types get behind Fred Thompson, it will only be a matter of time that he adopts, as president, more or less the same George W. Bush approach on illegal aliens (I fear...I could be wrong...but I fear).
