Which candidate for 2008 has the best view on the illegal immigrant problem?

Question

I am very concerned with the amount of people living here illegally. I would like to know which candidate I should vote for so that we can see a step in the right direction toward this issue. Also global warming is huge and I would like to see some improvement on this issue. I don't list the war here because there is going to be improvement on this issue know matter which candidate we pick, this judgment is in the hope that these candidates will respect the majority of the American people.

Answer 1

Ron Paul is who you should cast your vote for.

Why? Not only is Ron Paul the best candidate for curbing and putting up borders, he is not a member of the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR). Bush never wanted to close the borders, instead he wants to open American to unite with Canada and Mexico! As I write this Bush had contracted with a company called Cintra which paid Texas $1.2 billion dollars to allow them to come in and make a ten lane superhighway which will allow Mexican trucks to come in from Laredo, Texas all the way thru to Duluth, Minneosta and then Canada. There will be a Mexican customs stop in Kansas, and this highway will have a toll road right down the middle of this mega-highway, and every toll collected will go into the pockets of Spain. Ron Paul wants to stop this!

How do you feel about trucks bringing in goods that will not be opened for inspection by our government, but only by Mexico or Spain? Every rancher and every heartland in the midst of the superhighway will be forever taken away, including American jobs. Ron Paul wants to stop this.

Anyone who is a candidate for the presidency and who is a supporter or a member of the Council of Foreign Relations will go through with the superhighway and the taking away America as we know it to create the North American Union, and many other coming changes Bush is implementing now.
Ron Paul wants to keep America FOR AMERICA. Take back our land and our borders.

Ron Paul also wants to do away with Agenda 21. Agenda 21 wants to limit every American's use to wetlands and wilderness. Global warming will be even greater impacted if Agenda 21 passes. Have you heard any of the other candidates speak out on this issue? Probably not, since they each endorse it - the only one who doesn't is Ron Paul.

If you are truly concerned about these issues please read and learn about this and view Ron Paul as a candidate you would vote for in the coming election. Even our military has shown great interest in donating monies to Ron Paul's campaign.

Answer 2

Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo are tough on immigration. Ron Paul would be OK if he was not for the H1 B Visas that he favors.

Answer 3

Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Hunter have the most conservative voting records on immigration.

http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop1.html

Of these three, Ron Paul has the best chance of winning the Primary election.
Paul's campaign has almost 4 times as much money to spend as Tancredo.

Ron Paul has stated that he wants very strong borders and he was appalled that our government had taken border guards off of our borders to send them to Iraq.

This is his six point plan:
Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.
Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.
No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.
No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.
End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.
Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.

The NAFTA Superhighway might be another significant threat to American borders.

In the short term illegal immigrants pay into the Social Security system which is almost bankrupt.

They also provide recruits for the military.

The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act, is part of the stalled package of proposals that many in Congress are seeking to resurrect. The proposal, applicable to an estimated 750,000 undocumented residents of military age, stipulates that those who arrived in the United States before age 16, graduated from high school, and meet other qualifications could immediately enter the path to citizenship in exchange for at least two years' service in the armed forces.

But not all of them pay taxes.

In the long term Amnesty Will Cost U.S. Taxpayers at Least $2.6 Trillion.

Answer 4

Ron Paul

Answer 5

That would be Tancredo or Hunter, that are the toughest on illegal immigration.

Lettie D ...Obama supports Amnesty, at least that is how he voted. What he says and what he actually supports appears to be two different things.

Answer 6

Ron Paul or Tancredo, none of the front runners are really addressing this issue. So it may continue unless people wake up and speak up.

Answer 7

I would say either Ron Paul or Tancredo, both don't want amnesty for illegals..

**For the people who are saying Barack Obama and Huckabee please get your facts straight... Both of them FAVOR illegal immigration....

Barack Obama:

Answer 8

Fred Thompson is the best choice. Global warming is not the big issue that everyone thinks it is unless you like lining some big shot's pockets with money. Do your unbiased research and you will find out I am right. Iraq will sort itself out if you give the military time to do it's job.

Answer 9

Go with Ron Paul.
