With prominent topics such as the economy, unemployment rates, Occupy movements and income disparity at large ; It seems as though immigration has fell to the wayside , however immigration ties right in with these other huge topics. Immigration has been a hot topic of controversy for the GOP Candidates. From Perry to Cain to Gingrich ; It seems like everyone has their separate opinions and resolutions for the immigration issue.
Gov. Rick Perry signed the 2001 Texas Dream Act which allows Texas students to pay in-state tuition even if they were illegally brought to America. When Perry’s GOP opponents opposed this act, Perry fired back stating that they lack a heart. Of course with this dropping his polls, He apologized. It’s quite funny and ironic , yet not surprising , that Perry supports his own Texan bill but opposes the bill that allows these students to become legal citizens. Okay, so give the taxpayers money for an education for students who aren’t even allowed to be apart of our country, thus meaning they cant pay any tax?. Makes sense, at least to Perry.
Herman Cain isn’t any better by wanting to implement an electric fence on the border to kill anyone attempting to climb it. Okay, so electricute the people trying to get a free education in Texas thanks to Perry?. Good Job Cain. Oh it’s a joke? that’s just what we need, a President who makes jokes about killing immigrants. Oh its not a joke?. Mr. Cain, which is it?.
Newt Gingrich, wants to allow some immigrants who have been in the country for 25 years to become legal residents (in order to not separate them from their family), but not citizens. When comparing him to the other two candidates previously mentioned, Gingrich seems pretty sensible, or at least coherent.
