He hasn’t said it, yet.

I “look for him to begin saying”...

I’m speculating. He’s got to find a way to appease the ‘no amnesty/enforcement’ crowd, without directly addressing the issue of amnesty. So, like many of the pro-illegal immigration candidates who are no longer in this race did, he can insist that he is pro-enforcement, when his unspoken intentions would be to enforce the immigration laws, but only AFTER amnesty for illegals and their employers is passed.

For many, his touting an enforcement mantra could lead them to believe enforcement = no amnesty, when, as I described above, that is NOT necessarily true.

As is often the case, it isn’t what they say, it’s what they don’t say.

Every hispanic I talked to at work is all for legalizing those illegals where I worked.

That because they're racist as hell...and would rather fill the country with Mexicans and get them in power, rather than worry about competition for their jobs...how dumb is that? Legal Mexicans should be just as pissed off as anyone over interloping invaders....

A near majority of CA hispanics voted in favor of Prop 187, a cut-off of non essential services to illegal immigrants, as recently as 1994. That changed after the LA Times, DNC, etc hammered home their "oppose illegal immigration = hate hispanics" line. Now the topic cannot even be discussed in polite company.

That's exactly what happened....only intelligent Hispanics don't buy into the anti-illegals=anti-Hispanic BS. Unfortunately the masses swallow it hook line and sinker...

No, illegals don’t “reduce costs for consumers”, since there are billions and billion of dollars in soft costs that are paid for by those same consumers in their role as taxpayers.

For example, the current sub-prime banking disaster was fueled by mortgages made to illegals.
