” He said he’s not in favor of amnesty. He’s said that all along. He said he’s in favor of the path to citizenship we already have, which has nothing to do with amnesty. “ <<<
Mr. Cain complained about the nomenclature. He called HIS rhumba version something else other than amnesty, and pointedly did not want it referred to as “amnesty”, but “selective something-or-other”, which I can’t remember.
By the Cain supporter standards it was called Amnesty when Rick said it.
Being realistic, all the candidates are for some form of amnesty, but no one wants to use the “A” word.
Here's proof:
STEVE KING: Would you oppose amnesty in every form?
CAIN: I would oppose amnesty in every form, because here are the four problems relative to immigration. It's not one, it's four. Let's secure the border for real. Not talk about. Let's enforce the laws already on the books. Thirdly, I happen to believe that we can promote the path to citizenship that's already there. We simply need to clean up much of the bureaucracy that's preventing people from being inspired to come through the front door.
And fourthly, what I would do with those illegal aliens that are already here, empower the states to do what the federal government can't do, hasn't done, and will not do.
The govt. has already succeeded once in giving illegals amnesty with help from Newt. They have tried multiple times since then to pass amnesty. So Cain isn't talking about letting the states do that. What the govt can't seem to do, hasn't done and will not do is what the law requires -- send the illegals back. That is what the federal law requires. That is exactly what Cain plans to allow the states to do with the illegals already here.
You illegal loving traitors can't stand the idea of that ever happening. So you lie. Well you can tell Ricky LaRaza that he can keep his educational payoffs for illegal families. There is someone in this race willing to cut off the illegal's goodies and send them back as the law requires.
