And that's typically fines, very substantial fines, they get larger and larger. But a first offense employer hiring someone who's not legal, putting them in jail, I, I doubt that's...
MR. RUSSERT: But if you wanted to end illegal immigration, if you...
GOV. ROMNEY: Well, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure...
MR. RUSSERT: ...came down hard on employers.
GOV. ROMNEY: I'm sure capital punishment would come down hard as well, but I'm not, I'm not suggesting that kind of penalty. But I do believe that, that sanctioning employers with substantial fines--and potentially worse if, if they were egregious, continuous offenders could be called for. But what employers tell me, and I, and I talk to a lot of people in small business, they say, "It is almost impossible for us to know who's here legally and illegally.
START ENFORCING THE LAW.....AND THIS WILL CHANGE!!!!!!!! PUT THESE DIRTY CORRUPT EMPLOYERS IN THEIR PLACE....!!!!!!!! If they were afraid of fines.......WOULD WE BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY????????
GET REALl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PUT THEM IN PRISON WHERE THEY BELONG!!!! [/quote:2addl0ft]
Obviously, Tom Tancredo trusts him and believes what he is saying----as this is who he picked to endorse."We call things racism just to get attention. We reduce complicated problems to racism, not because it is racism, but because it works." --- Alfredo Gutierrez, political consultant.

It's not amnesty. I don't like the way Mitt put it in that interview, but I do believe he will cut them off at the knees. No employment, no sanctuary cities, no drivers licenses, no welfare; they leave thru attrition.
I love Hunter, but you are ignoring Tancredo's message. Hunters numbers were lower than Tom's. He ain't makin it.
So the question is Who will you get behind when Hunter pulls out. You best start thinking about it. You have Thompson, Paul, or Romney.Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. - George Bernard Shaw

Romney goes on to say that illegal aliens children should not be given any special treatment, etc, blah blah blah and that they can sign up to stay here, but can't go to the front of the line. WELL, THAT IS AMNESTY. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT CITIZENSHIP, THEY JUST WANT TO LIVE HERE. Letting them stay here is a priviledge. Besides that, THEY ARE TAKING UP SPACE THAT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED TO IMMIGRANTS WHO COME HERE LEGALLY.
Quote:
And then for the 12 million who've come here, welcome them to get in line with everybody else, but no special pathway.
WHY DOESN'T ROMNEY JUST COME RIGHT OUT AND SAY IT? SINCE ILLEGALS ALREADY STEPPED ON THE "WELCOME MATT" THEY MIGHT AS WELL "MAKE THEMSELVES AT HOME" BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY HERE.RIP Butterbean! We miss you and hope you are well in heaven.-- Your ALIPAC friends

Here are some reasons I like Duncan Hunter
Duncan Hunter
by Sen. H.L. Richardson (Ret.)
I've personally known Duncan Hunter for over thirty years, both as a fellow conservative legislator and a big game hunting companion. We have bow hunted mule deer in the high desolate mountains of Nevada and stalked elk in deep snows of Montana.
Hunting is a passion to him as it is for me. You get to know a man very well around a campfire in the wild. Duncan has a deep appreciation and hands on love of America's great out doors. He is deeply committed to preserving our American heritage and our Constitutional rights. Duncan has no trouble understanding and defending our Second Amendment.
If Congressman Hunter is successful in his run for the presidency, I wouldn't be surprised if sometimes he will be compared with Theodore Roosevelt, since both have much in common. Both are avid hunters and practical conservationists. Both believe and were active in building a strong military. Both are war veterans and both had sons in active combat. Both believe and were active in protecting our borders. Both are outspoken on key issues and both are willing to confront militarily Muslim extremists. Both are fearless and have a proven love for our country. The more one investigates the lives of these two men, the more one finds what they have in common.
Americans who believe the Second Amendment is crucial to freedom, especially hunters, aren't easily fooled by the campaign ads of candidates who take off their suit coat and tie, pull on a newly purchased hunting coat, stand out in a local field and hold a rifle or shotgun for the news cameras. Posing for these "pro-gun" commercials doesn't make a candidate a "pro-gunner." It takes a deep understanding of the Constitution and years of voting and speaking out to protect our rights. And it doesn't hurt to really be a hunter, shooter, or collector of guns. Congressman Duncan Hunter is all of these things and would serve our nation well as President.
Congressman Hunter's Biography below is worth reading as you're thinking about Presidential candidates you might support.
About Duncan Hunter
Since first being elected to Congress in 1980, Duncan Hunter has devoted himself to ensuring that our military is second to none, securing our nation's borders, and protecting American workers from unfair competition. Hunter works on these issues because he believes that America's greatest strength is our freedom and its protection requires our effort in all areas.
A Vietnam veteran, Duncan Hunter served in the 173rd Airborne and 75th Army Rangers and, after coming home, utilized the G.I. Bill to attend Western State University Law School in San Diego (now Thomas Jefferson School of Law). While completing his degree, Hunter supplemented his income by working in farming and construction, and opened a storefront legal office after graduation where he began serving many in the Hispanic community, often without compensation. .
In 1980, Hunter was asked to mount a challenge for the Congressional seat held by 18-year incumbent Lionel Van Deerlin. Despite the district having a 2-to-1 Democrat registration, Hunter won the seat in an upset. Coming to Washington, Hunter successfully sought a seat on the House Armed Services Committee where he could work on America's national security needs. Serving on this committee throughout his career, Hunter became Chairman of the full committee in 2002, overseeing a $532 billion defense budget. During his chairmanship from 2002-2006, and now as Ranking Member of the committee, Hunter focuses his efforts on providing President Bush with the necessary resources to win our nation's military conflicts, protecting our men and women in uniform, and developing modernization initiatives that will move new and more effective technologies into the field of battle.
Living in a border community, Hunter also came to Congress to make securing the California-Mexico border a top priority. Hunter's goal was to make the region safe for communities on both sides of the border by providing the necessary resources to our border enforcement agencies. September 11th, however, made border security a national security issue and Hunter responded by leading efforts in Congress to seal a porous border susceptible to illegal aliens, drug trafficking and terrorism. Hunter's efforts have resulted in over 59 miles of fencing and border infrastructure to date in San Diego County. Hunter also wrote the Secure Fence Act, extending the San Diego fence 854 miles across California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. These fence provisions were signed into law by President Bush on October 26, 2006.
On the House Armed Services Committee, Hunter has protected U.S. defense jobs in aircraft, ship repair, machine tools, textile, steel and titanium to ensure that what he calls the "Arsenal of Democracy," the U.S. industrial base, is maintained to provide security in time of war. Hunter's other legislative priorities include retaining and increasing jobs across this nation, providing tax relief to hard-working families, keeping our promises to America's veterans, protecting Social Security for present and future generations, and promoting strong family values.
Hunter resides in East San Diego County with his wife Lynne where they, like many of their neighbors, just completed re-building their Alpine home after it was lost in the October 2003 wildfires. In 2006, Duncan and Lynne celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary; they have two sons, Duncan Duane, who served two tours in Iraq in the U.S. Marine Corps, and Sam Hunter, a business student at San Diego State University. Duncan D. and his wife, Margaret, have three children, Duncan Lee, Elizabeth Grace and Sarah Louise, and reside in Boise, Idaho. Sam was married on Valentine's Day 2004 to the former Theresa Heger of Jamul and they had their first child, Marin, in October of 2006.

Hunter is far and away the best man to be president. Huckabee came from nowhere to the level he's at now, we can hope that Hunter will also.
He is just so obviously better than the rest I wish our clueless electorate would wake up.<div>Thank you Governor Brewer!</div>

It is obvious that I am NOT as knowledgeable in all of this as many of you... but I am trying to sift through everything I can to make the right choice. This is probably going to be the most important election in the history of the United States... since this one will either SAVE our Country or it won't! So, I am NOT trying to step on any toes here ... just trying to figure out WHO to GIVE MY VOTE to.
... but what I feel like I am hearing is that Romney is a candidate that is capable of winning... unlike Hunter or Paul... and sadly Tancredo is gone.
I would prefer AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE...and I am hoping for a miracle that someone like Lou Dobbs ... if not Lou himself, will run!
If not... the supporting Romney because he is the most electable... the question I am asking myself... is are we still PLAYING THEIR GAME... are they FORCING US TO PLAY THEIR GAME by basically playing our hand for us with THE ONLY ELECTABLE CHOICE??? I am just asking... I AM STILL SEEKING!!!! Maybe he is the right one... maybe not. I'm STILL SEEKING!!!!
Lou Dobbs rallied the troops to BECOME INDEPENDENTS... and millions of us have.......... but why???? If we are still playing the same game??? I am thoughly CONFUSED!!!!!!Please help save America for our children and grandchildren... they are counting on us. THEY DESERVE the goodness of AMERICA not to be given to those who are stealing our children's future! ... and a congress who works for THEM!

Yes, ... and I am having problems with statements like this:
GOV. ROMNEY: Well, that's a choice, of course, the parents would, would make. But my view is that those 12 million who've come here illegally should be given the opportunity to sign up to stay herePlease help save America for our children and grandchildren... they are counting on us. THEY DESERVE the goodness of AMERICA not to be given to those who are stealing our children's future! ... and a congress who works for THEM!
