Answer 2

Rudy Giuliani
Barack Obama
John McCain
Mike Huckabee
HIllary Clinton
John Edwards
Dennis Kucinich
Joe Biden
Bill Richardson

Answer 3

I don't think any candidate is 100% pro-amnesty. Most of the Democrats do favor guest-worker programs, and programs to legalize children who were brought here against their will as minors, and who have lived here their entire lives and know no one in their "home" countries.

As far as saying Democrats are pro-amnesty because that's their base - that is SO false. Think about it for a second. Can illegals vote? Of course not. Can people with residency (not citizenship) vote? Of course not.

Democrats simply recognize that our economy would completely collapse without the immigrant work force, and instead of spending millions on walls (which is barbaric), they're looking for long-term solutions to the problem.

Answer 4

It depends on how you define "pro illegal alien amnesty." If that means anything other than forceably expelling every illegal alien in the country and not allowing them back (which the wording of your question suggests is your position), then they're all "pro." They have to be. It's impossible to expel everyone - many have American spouses or children who were born in the USA, hence those kids are American citizens. Plus we're talking about 12+ million people spread throughout the country, many of whom have been here for years and are deeply tied to their communities. Just finding them, let alone removing them, would be prohibitively expensive, if nothing else.

The candidates only vary on where they place the emphasis of their strategy for dealing with illegal immigration: (1) punish employers who hire aliens, (2) punish aliens, (3) ramp up border security or (4) create a legal path to citizenship and get them documented for starters.

On #4 they vary as to the length, complexity and difficulty of the processes they propose; on #2 they vary on tactics - explusion, imprisonment, denial of public services like medical care and education, etc.

Answer 5

Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton, Bill Richardson, Barak Osama, Fred Flinstone, John McCain,

Answer 6

Pro amnesty I would have to say just McCain for the GOP but I would say that Giuliani and Huckabee are soft on it, possibly Romney.
On the Dem side I would say from watching debates just about all of them are soft on it or for it.

Oh and hi Chi, was not on for awhile there, so kinda back now.

Answer 7

All except Gravel on the Democrat side. Rudy, John, Mike and possibly Mitt on the republican side though at a slightly lower level than the Democrats.

Answer 8

Chi Bro,

How's the war going?

In answer to your question, the majority of them are for pro illegal alien amnesty.

Answer 9

I hope Steven Harper is pro-immigrant because I am moving to Canada if these candidates are the best we have

Answer 10

I see that this internet site mentions that Hillary helps gay marriage. this could be a great subject count number to boost in the debates because of the fact the overpowering majority in this super u . s . help classic marriage. i in my opinion think of Fred Thompson has the journey and the wherewithal to be an remarkable chief. somewhat no dem has center type u.s. in techniques while they are already speaking approximately raising taxes.

Answer 11

All the democrats

McCain, Romney, and Giuliani for the Republicans
