Which '08 presidential hopeful has the strictest Mexican border attitude?

Question

Republican, Independants or Democrat... I won't even bother with the lesser grass roots parties that have no chance. Thanks.

Answer 1

Does it really matter? They'll say anything to get into office and blame the Senate and Congress for not passing their plan. Happens every election. Words are cheap to me, they mean absolutely nothing. Ever heard that saying, "actions speak louder than words?" What have they done so far in their office regarding immigration and how are they voting now? That should pretty much tell you! Just look at all the Presidents who say lower taxes, better school care, ect....

Answer 2

i dont know about all the candidates but i can speak about Mike Gravel since ive been studying his goals alot.

Sen. Gravel doesnt go directly into something like a fence or deportation. he talks about the root cause of the problem. he wants to remove or adjust NAFTA which is argued by many to be the cause of millions of jobs being lost in america and mexico. america lost manufacturing jobs and mexico lost farming jobs. americans had other things to do besides manufacturing but the mexicans had nothing else. repeal of NAFTA should do wonders in stopping the huge influx.

the other thing is that he wants to eliminate the IRS and bring us onto the fairtax (fairtax.org) this will have 2 effects. illegals could no longer avoid paying taxes and the illegals would not recieve the tax prebate (money back to cover the tax on necisities) so they would be much more strained to live here illegally. they would actually need to make more than a citizen to be on equal footing therefore a company here would rather just pay the citizen. in addition to that, the fairtax would make the cost of products much more compeditive because companies wouldnt have to pile layers of taxes into the cost of their products. this would draw more businesses to this country so companies would be desperate for more workers.

Answer 3

They're all about the same. Tancredo seems to be the only Republican who has a stand out strict attitude towards the things he believes in. The others (ie. Giuliani, McCain) are like the wind.

Answer 4

Probably Tom Tancredo. If Thompson gets in, he's pretty hard lined too. I REALLY hope whoever is elected will put a stop to the illegal immigration nonsense and the open borders.

Answer 5

Probably Tom Tancredo

Answer 6

Tancredo is the most pro-border, McCain the least. I don't know where the Democrats stand on the issue, they won't say.

Answer 7

Alfred E. Newman. I hear he wants EVERYONE with foreign ancestry- north of the mexican border- to head South. I understand- he's already got the Native American vote- locked up. :)

Answer 8

Ron Paul believes in strong borders.The Neocon Agenda is to push forward the North American Union, which has a long term goal of very weak/non-existent borders. This plan, if successful, will kill the Constitution and end our sovereignty. Hilary, Obama, Rudi, McCain -- ALL want the NAU. This is because they are corporate puppets, not real Americans.

Answer 9

Duncan Hunter with out doubt.

Answer 10

Ron Paul
This Platform Elects The Next President
http://www.rense.com/general76/plat.htm

The 2008 candidate for U.S. President who advocates these simple steps will be elected-guaranteed.

U.S. citizens hunger for a competent, decent, honest, and trustworthy president. They want a president who represents America-not corporations, not war, not globalism, not the North American Union, not Mexico and not lawlessness. Of all candidates from liberal to conservative to libertarian-if one of them stands on these campaign promises-he or she will become the next president of the United States.

Preamble: "If our president stuck to the Constitution as written, we would now enjoy:

A. Balanced and reasonable enforcement of each and every law on the books
B. Strong emphasis upon "states' rights," all states working elbow-to-elbow with federal enforcement and justice officers to enforce all laws equally
C. No federal meddling in our schools
D. No Federal Reserve
E. No U.S. membership in the UN
F. No citizenship for children of illegal aliens
G. No 'free' education and no 'free' medical- and social-services for illegal aliens
H. No gun control
I. No foreign aid
J. No welfare for big corporations, or the "poor"
K. No American troops "permanently" in 100 foreign countries
L. No NAFTA, GATT, or "fast-track"
M. No arrogant federal judges usurping states rights and/or writing laws
N. No attacks on private property rights
O. No income tax. Instead, a consumption tax

We can and must get rid of most of the cabinet departments, most of the agencies, and most of the budget. The government would then again be small, frugal, and limited."
-- Congressman Ron Paul (1998)

Any candidate for President of the U.S. who promises these benefits will win the election and move into the White House:

1. Stop all imperialism by the U.S. This includes in Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran. Rebuild the U.S. military to a force-level of two million first-class troops, to defend our beloved nation lands, when needed.

On occasion, when necessary, use "joint-quick-strike" teams on 7-day forays to restore balance when a dictator goes astray.

2. Read and heed the recent South Carolina University study, where more than 4,000 illegal aliens were carefully polled; 62 percent of these people made it very clear that they do NOT desire or intend to become citizens of the U.S.

3. Investigate and prosecute all employer criminals who break laws to employ illegal aliens, and watch as their peers "get legal" in short order. As the jobs are restored to U.S. citizen voters, the ethical illegal aliens will voluntarily repatriate.

4. Stop unfair, discriminatory practice of providing substantial and costly assistance to 20-30 million, while refusing the render the same medical and social care to U.S. citizens. Eliminate mandatory "free" education and "free" emergency medical care for illegal aliens. Invoice nations for all short-term services provided to their nationals, with costs deducted from their current "foreign aid," dollar-for-dollar.

Prosecute bureaucrats (including those in NFP-NGO 501.c.3 groups) who misuse U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund optional services to illegal aliens.

5. Form mutual-aid pacts with the thousands of NFP-NGO 501.c.3 and church agencies to increase our self-sustaining "foreign-aid" to the underprivileged by 400 percent - whereby your government tax dollars provides less than 25 percent of the budget - rendering that physical assistance only in their sovereign nations, and not sovereign U.S. soil.

6. Issue an Executive Order to properly interpret the 14th Amendment, U.S. Constitution-ending the unsound practice of giving U.S. citizenship to children of illegal aliens who are born on U.S. soil.

7. Direct a 10-year moratorium on all immigration. The United States cannot tolerate nor does it want an added 100 million people by 2040. The USA is already stretched to the limits of resources, environment and infrastructure. It's time to take a collective breath. After the moratorium, a maximum of 100,000 immigrants only if they maintain a stable population. If not, the moratorium may be extended.

8. Temporarily assign the U.S. Marines to enforce our southern border, alone.

Only the military can deal with the heavily-armed drug-merchants and other rebels now operating on our border-sneaking in under cover of the hordes of illegal aliens.

9. Immediately assign the experienced and savvy U.S. Navy SeaBees to quickly (24 months) build a first-class, attractive, cost-effective physical southern border security-fence .

Equipped with a suitable set of parallel physical security-fences, with a paved roadway between for use by "rapid-deployment forces," the U.S. can patrol the border effectively with 75 percent fewer guards.

DHS is a mess. Put an accomplished, decorated, recently retired, "can-do" CIA or FBI manager in charge of CONUS and border security. Stand down the DHS; replace it with the new Department of Border and Interior 50-State Security (DBIS). The USCIS, FEMA, and Border Patrol are a travesty.

10. Appoint a strong, retired U.S. Marine Corps General officer to be our first-ever "Immigration Czar," a cabinet-level position.

Tell that person to author our first ever "Immigration Strategic Plan" within nine months.

We must "grow our own" workers, and incentivize mechanization. This is not business as usual.

We must immediately quadruple the throughput rate at our colleges, universities and technical schools. No more free-rides for foreign students. As part of this strategic effort, we must also incentivize our young adults to join the U.S. military, to learn.

11. Importing Chinese engineers & nurses and Spanish-speaking slave laborers at the last minute is outrageous- reflecting poorly upon our terrible strategic planning. We decimate our lower- middle-class and many other labor groups. No more.

12. Fingerprint (or iris-scan) every person who repatriates and/or is involved with the ICE or Immigration Court in any way.

For those 10 percent of the aliens who are seasoned criminals (according to the DOJ-FBI), prosecute and punish -- to the fullest extent of the existing laws. At the same time, the practice of granting bail-bond and plea-bargains to foreign-nationals who are here lacking legal presence is malfeasance, and must be strictly forbidden. These folks are obvious 'flight-risks.' Deportation is not punishment.

Punish first, then deport; felony-deportation, with prejudice .

Hundreds of rapidly deployed "temporary" tent-city prisons, located very near our southern border, are appropriate and necessary.

Relocate all illegal aliens from local-city, county, state, and federal prisons to the expanded temporary tent-city border incarceration facilities- to make room in local jails-prisons for the hundreds of thousands of scofflaws; employers and absconders.

13. The majority of the ethical, high-integrity illegal aliens will voluntarily repatriate and take their nest egg back to their "home-nation."

14. Stop bleeding jobs out of the USA through insourcing, outsourcing and offshoring which creates a $700 billion trade deficit annually while it destroys the middle class.
15. Make English our national language in order for all citizens to communicate, resolve and come to solutions for our national good. Rescind E.O. 13166 that forces us to be subservient to foreign languages at our cost and against our English language.
16. Endeavor to pour all research into finding an alternative energy source to oil. It's time to run cars, boats and planes on photo-voltaic transfer to electricity. Or, invent anything that stops polluting the atmosphere with greenhouse gases.
17. Work toward a balanced budget!

"2007 Comprehensive Reform" is a Trojan-horse, orchestrated by Teddy Kennedy, the same guy who orchestrated the 1986 IRCA legislation, Simpson-Mazzoli-Reagan, which gave us three times more amnesty-recipient illegal aliens than promised- with help from his 'friends,' and authored AGAIN in 2007 by immigration attorneys and members of La Raza- while keeping groups such as the American Legion out of the author's room.

The United States must take care of its own people, its own air, water and land. It must move toward a sustainable society.
