It was on Special Report a few weeks ago. I recall being shocked by him admitting that he thinks we should have completely open borders with absolutely NO limitation on immigration whatsoever! That he's not changed his views from comments he made 15 years ago is astonishing. That's a man who can't process what's actually happening under his nose and adjust his ideology; he's much like Obama in that regard. Here were his comments in 2001: Open the border; flood of Mexicans would become taxpayers Q: What is your view of the immigration issue? A: Hispanics who immigrate care about their families like other Americans care about their families. They're living in poverty in Mexico and can come to the US and do a lot better. Q: By--according to some--taking away jobs. A: They work the lowest-paying jobs. And they are taking jobs that other Americans don't necessarily want. They're hardworking people who are taking jobs that others don't want. That's the reality. *Q: Would you open the borders and make it easier to immigrate legally? * *A: My vision of the border with Mexico is that a truck from the United States going into Mexico and a truck coming from Mexico into the United States will pass each other at the border going 60 miles an hour. Yes, we should have open borders.* Q: Many Americans fear the flood of immigrants that would follow. A: They would become taxpayers. They're just pursuing dreams---the same dreams we all have. They work hard. What's wrong with that?

Voters passed a proposition that would deny them medical & other services. A: It wouldn't be a problem if they were legal, so the process to make them legal should be easier. Q: Many Americans fear the flood of immigrants that would follow. A: They would come over and take jobs that we don't want. They would become taxpayers. They're just pursuing dreams---the same dreams we all have. They work hard. What's wrong with that?

How in the hell can someone support a candidate when they know nothing whatsoever about his views? Idiots! -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
