As a life long registered Democrat I've been trying to find a candidate to support for President. So far I've yet to see anyone on the Democratic side who is not pandering to the pro-illegal immigrant groups/lobbyists while they continue to ignore middle class peoples concerns regarding the illegal immigration problem and costs in their communities.
The Republicans on the other hand have several candidates from Ron Paul (a Republican who also voted against the war) to Tom Tancredo who has been a leader against amnesty proposals that reward illegals who have violated our immigration laws.
Now the Washington Post reports that Republican Fred Thompson may enter the fray. I think the Democrats and Republicans like McCain should be very afraid. Thompson seems to be the most centered of the candidates of all the people running Republican or Democrat. An example of Thompson's no nonsense stand on illegal immigration:
"I think its time for a little plain talk to the leaders of Mexico. Something like: hey guys, you’re our friends and neighbors and we love you but it’s time you had a little dose of reality.
A sovereign nation loses that status if it cannot secure its own borders and we are going to do whatever is necessary to do so, although our policies won’t be as harsh as yours are along your southern border. And criticizing the U.S. for alternately doing too much and too little to stop your illegal activities is not going to set too well with Americans of good will who are trying to figure a way out of the mess that your and our open borders policy has already created. "
Right said Fred!
