"Jacob also had to finance his own campaign while Cannon was given hundreds of thousands of dollars from pro-immigration groups."


That wasn't really my point. My point was I won't be surprised if Cannon's vote total is down over 04 because of the national attention given this race and the in kind contributions of soft dollar money ads on Jacobs' behalf.

By the way, looking at your Freeper name, you do realize Reagan was very pro-immigration don't you?? Would you guys have been targetting Reagan for primary defeat too?? Cannon is pretty much right in step with Reagan's thinking on immigration and guest worker plans, like it or not. I have the quotes to prove it if you like.

Probably the one policy where Reagan was flawed. His amnesty gave us the nightmare we have today.

We should have rounded up all the illegals back then shipped them out and built the wall, we didn't and the problem is ten times worse today.

According to some former loyal Reagan advisors he considered that a mistake of his administration. Yes he was very pro-immigration but also said a nation without borders isn't a nation.

We've been down the road of amnesty before, it doesn't work and I'm not going to support any candidate like Cannon who wants to take that failed path again.

You betcha Reagan was pro illegal immigation. The bill Reagan pushed for and signed into law in 1986 allowed the numbver of illegal immigrants to go from 2.5 million in 1986 to 12 million today. That law included amnesty which Reagan touted as its greatest provision.

If Reagan was your best then Tancredo has to your worst. Reagan and Tancredo were exact opposites on illegal immigration.
