GOP candidates take tough positions on illegal immigration

Meg Whitman had just finished delivering her campaign stump speech for an El Dorado Hills audience several months ago when she asked for questions from the crowd.

Two words, phrased as a statement, were the first to pop from the audience of about 30 people: “Illegal aliens.”

The Republican gubernatorial hopeful didn’t miss a beat, promising to get tough on employers of such immigrants and otherwise stop the influx.

That scene has played out countless times on the campaign trail this year, where illegal immigration has remained a hot topic for many state Republicans, even as – or perhaps because – unemployment and other economic worries have grown.

Republican candidates have responded by staking out tough positions on the subject, and Whitman rival Steve Poizner, in particular, has built much of his campaign on pledging to cut state services for all illegal immigrants.

“My view is we should not have any magnets left,” Poizner said last month at the state Republican convention. “We should turn off all incentives. We should end all taxpayer benefits for people here illegally.”

We have a fairly conservative candidate running. Poizner may not be perfect, but he’s much more conservative than Whitman - he’s got Tom McClintock’s endorsement as “The Conservative Candidate”

I wish people would stop harping on his name, and being resigned to Whitman....if you really want change, not just talking and bellyaching, get out and do something for Poizner.

He’s out funded by Meg, but she shouldn’t buy her way into the governor’s office - we’ve seen what Arnold did with that opportunity.

I have a great one page PDF that I’d be happy to email anyone -print them out and pass them around.
