David Gregory: “Would you deport illegal immigrants in the country right now?”
Herman Cain: “Here is my approach to illegal immigration. Here again, this is what’s resonating with the people. How I would solve the problem. It’s not as simple as, would you deport. We must secure the border. It would be a combination of a physical fence, technology and in some areas we might have to put troops there. We must secure the border. Secondly we must promote the path to citizenship that’s already there. We need to clean up the bureaucracy. Third enforce the laws that are already there. The way you do that is number four, which is a bold idea – empower the states to do what the federal government can’t do and won’t do as far as dealing with illegals that are in the United States today.” – Herman Cain: Meet the Press – October 16, 2011
Thank you for that post! His idea on immigration is just so damn right and so full of common sense and reality it smacks of being revolutionary-it is like he is laying out a road for all of us that reflects our foundations. Such a mighty change from what has been going on and depressing us all for so long it feels new. Roots are never new-they just get buried by friggin liberal communists!
