New Mexico Governor and Democratic Presidential candidate Bill Richardson seemed to call for illegal alien amnesty today. "We need comprehensive immigration reform in this country-- one that includes a path to legalization," Richardson said.

Richardson also criticized opponents Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for voting in favor of a wall on the border to aid border security. Richardson said:

"Part of that is increased border enforcement with smarter technology and more guards. That is a workable solution. You know what will not work? A wall. I think that Senators Clinton, Obama, and Biden were wrong to vote to build a wall between the United States and its neighbors.â€
