Immigration is an ever growing threat to our country, and in times like these we need a person in office who can stand with unwaivering resolve to confront the threat and take it head on. The Conservative party is known for it's resolution to try and make the odds as best as possible for ALL Americans, and when I say all I even mean the ones who weren't born here but have gone through the system and pledged their loyalty with that desire in their heart to be true, heartfelt, dedicated Americans. Committed to pursuing the American dream of providing for themselves and their families, and living decent moral lives.
But in todays Conservative line up, we find a few questionable records, a few men that ... if you take a hard look at their record you'll find some gaping cracks that could come to be fatal weak spots in their armor. Never the less, we have to get to the core of the issues, because threats to America must be faced head on, and we need a fully armored candidate who we know can face the conflict without a flinch when push comes to shove.
So ... just who stands where?
Romney: Has been known to hire companies to do his personal bidding that have active workers who are illegal immigrants, as we found in the last Republican debate. Courtesy of Mayor Rudy. While not something that Romney can control per se, it is something he definitely should have confronted and have took a stand on.
Romney never denied the allegations of hiring these companies, but he never really took a stand as to whether or not he confronted them, the Supervisors/Bosses, about. All-in-all, it's a case of illegals effectively stealing a job(s) that could have significantly helped a not so fortunate family(s). He made his case as to not really having control over what types of people companies hire, but it gives no explanation as to why he didn't confront the head people involved about it... One crack in the armor.
Mayor Rudy: Effectively created a city of refuge out of New York city for any and all illegals who came there. They received free health care at the drop of a hat when they got involved in street brawls/shootings, and not a word was mentioned otherwise. It was dust swept under the rug, and I'm sure he never thought that skeleton would ever drop out of the closet. During the debate, Mayor Rudy acted like a cornered cat when the issue came up. For the first time we seen an effective public speaker, one who had been through fire and brim stone during 9/11, begin to stutter and stammer as he tried to give explanation as to why he created a harbor city for people who should not be in this country.
While I don't believe it's ethical to let any man die due to injuries received from a fight where two people are involved, I don't believe it's right to let such people go off scott-free after they've been handled with kid gloves in hospitals that are held to high standards, American Standards. These people should have been turned over to the authorities for the proper handling procedures, and have been put in the line of people going through the naturalization process.
I guess Rudy didn't seem to think so... A gaping crack in the armor.
Huckabee: Never really got questioned about the issue, and so far hasn't really been pinned down about it. Why? Well, the only natural explanation seems to be that he's stood firm where it counts, and he's confronted the issues when they came to knock. He performed well during his tenures in public office, and honestly he seems to be one of, if not the best, for President when it comes to this issue.
Huckabee is a man of standard, his armor has stood the test of time and he's not let the enemy strike a blow against him.
Thompson: Has taken a strong and decisive stand on the issue and has pointed out the weakness and problems with past failed attempts to solve this ever increasing threat against America. In a bully-pulpit fashion interview with the National Review recently, he told it straight up and no holds barred. 'No matter how much lipstick you try to slap on this legislative pig, it isn't going to win any beauty contests' and I don't believe anyone has said it better. The issue, at the core, is downright ugly. It has to be faced, and it has to be done now.
Thompson's approach is a good one, and I believe he has readied his armor well for the fight. Let's hope that should he get the nomination, he can follow through on his words.
R. Paul: Seems to have a disconnection with reality. In past debates he has proposed some off the wall theories. In all honesty, I don't know if he plans to go into this thing suited up in armor or if he plans to try and sneak in the back way in his stockings with a butter knife.
Given his whole disconnection with reality, I don't really know if his stand on this issue is going to be a make it or break it one.
McCain: Wants to give temporary Visas to illegals and give them a whack at jobs that would otherwise be bringing income to needy American men, women and their families. He and Ted Kennedy brain stormed the bill to do it to boot... I think McCain forgot his breast-plate at home when it comes to this issue.
The American people want an end to the job stealing, plain and simple. I'm afraid McCain better re-think his stance. Because temporary visas are going to lead to permanent ruination if we don't stop it.
Tancredo: Is Die hard against it, and is even part of a group of people who call themselves 'The Leauge of the South'. Tancredo wants to work toward a common objective of all Americans, secure the fence. His rallying and his stance are a good testimony of his dedication to stopping the beast before it gets out of hand if he gets in office... Tancredo is suited with a thick set of armor.
Lastly...
Hunter: Has a track record that is straight and true. He's helped to build fences in the So. Cal area where immigrants like to get across. He's done more than talk, he has performed. He's shown to be a guy of dedication when it comes to securing our borders and trying to help preserve jobs for willing to work Americans. Hunter looks to be a great man for the job, we need a guy who is willing to take control of the situation and give him the authority to build big fences not only in San Diego but in all areas of weakness on the border.
The battle has only just begun, it's going to be interesting to see how this pans out in the future. As for me, all my bets are on Mike Huckabee.
