====================

Points are based on candidate promises as of 2JAN08 on
(a) amnesty,
(b) stoppping future illegal immigration and
(c) reducing importation of foreign labor competition, plus
(d) rating of past immigration actions in political office.

Hey Phred you need to clean your ratings up a bit,Huckabee only has 8 points not 18 and Romney is consider Fair along with Paul.

No, Numbersusa has upgraded Romney's rating to good!!

Many of the pundits are already counting Rudy out, and calling his strategy a disaster. I still think he'll make a comeback. He has the resources and I don't think conservatives in many other states will accept Huckabee & McCain, if they win Iowa and NH.

Hugh Hewitt (a Romney supporter) said that if Romney loses both Iowa and NH, he predicts a long race, like 1976 with Reagan and Ford. He doesn't think Huckabee has a chance for the nom, but conceivably McCain. Resources will matter. But then McCain's record becomes scrutinized and he'll be asked if he will accept public financing.

I knew he would do this, just look at him. He looks like a salesman." If Bush would have done something about the illegals many of the anti-illegal Conservatives who voted for him wouldn't be calling him dumb or stupid. When the guy turns his back on this one issue it's suddenly "He sucks! I never liked him". lol. Make up your minds people!

So, what exactly is your suggestion? Who in your mind will do something about the borders, overstayed visas, national security etc?

What should our immigration policy include?
