GOP's and Immigration

Last week I gave you a small glimpse into the GOP candidate's bios and so this week I am going to give you their stance on the immigration issue.

Mitt Romney:

• ·      favors completing a high-tech border fence
• ·       Requiring employers to use electronic databases to verify employees' legal status.

Rick Perry:

• ·      supports a 2001 Texas law that allows children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state college tuition
• ·      signed a law banning illegal immigrants from receiving driver's licenses
• ·      Backed a proposal to allow local police officers to inquire whether detainees are in the country legally.
• ·      Opposes the proposed federal Dream Act.

Ron Paul:

• ·      end the automatic granting of citizenship to children born to illegal immigrants, a process that he asserts encourages people to come to the U.S. only to have children
• ·      he would also "abolish the welfare state," which he claims is also an incentive for people to come to the U.S. illegally
• ·      he would also enhance border security
• ·      prevent "amnesty" programs, among other plans

Michele Bachmann:

• ·      Does not approve of Perry’s law that allows children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state college tuition saying that it isn't the "American way."
• ·      supports the construction of a fence along the entire southern U.S. border.

Rick Santorum:

• ·      against any type of amnesty that would grant immigrants legal status
• ·      believes in strengthening borders

Gary Johnson:

• ·      opposes border fences
• ·      Supports employer verification systems.

This is their opinion on Immigration, so what is yours?
