Immigration

"People don't go to their contractors and inspect the IDs of their employees"--this is Romney's line for why didn't catch the illegal immigrants working in his own front lawn. I doubt this is going to cut any ice with the public.

Ghouliani says that he made New York a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants only in order to deal with the high crime rates: he wanted illegals to report crimes committed against them, without fear of deportation, so that the criminals can be caught. The audience seemed to like this.

The moderators are asking Huckabee about his claims that immigration restrictionists are racists. He's using the old Newt Gringrich line now about FedEx tracking people. What he hell--who wants the U.S. federal government tracking people as efficiently as FedEx? As if that tracking would be limited to illegal immigrants!

Tancredo is getting the same question about mean-spirited and racist restrictionists. He's accusing Huck, the Ghoul, and the Ken doll of opportunism. That's true, I suppose, and Tancredo may not be an opportunist. But he's a bigger warmonger than any of them, which is really saying something.

Duncan Hunter, zzzzzzzzz.......

Now it's going back to Giuliani and Romney again. I get sick of Fox giving so much face time to these guys. If you have a debate with all the candidates, give them all face time. Not that one expects fairness from this network--or any other!

McCain is seguing from immigration to war, talking about the conferring of citizenship upon foreign nationals who sign up to fight in Iraq. He'd like Max Boot's idea of an American Foreign Legion, I suspect.

C'mon, let's hear from somebody who's for less government -- not this joker Romney, who just said he would cut federal funds to "sanctuary cities." Why not just cut the federal funding regardless of whether they're "sanctuary cities"?
