Is illegal immigration shaking out to be the single biggest issue for Republicans in the upcoming election?
.
Following his prepared remarks during an event this past Friday, Senator McCain fielded nearly a half dozen or more questions from people in attendance about America’s illegal immigration problem. It appeared most people wanted to know whether or not he learned something from the outpouring of dissatisfaction shown by folks nationwide regarding the failed "comprehensive" plan he so vocally supported. He now promises to secure the borders before anything else gats done. Apparently, he’s "seen the light" on this.

This week, Rudy Giuliani came out swinging against illegal immigration and did it on no less an important venue than on the O’Reilly Factor. O’Reilly has been wanting toughened border controls ever since he first hit the scene, and hasn’t let up. Rudy Giuliani’s proposals in this regard seemed to have been met with some satisfaction on O’Reilly’s part. View the YouTube here. On Tuesday, during a campaign stop in South Carolina, Mayor Giuliani
said he would require a uniform identification card for foreign workers and students and create a central database to track the legal status of visitors to the country. He told the crowd of more than 300 that 12 million immigrants have entered the country illegally..”That’s a lot of people to walk over your border without being identified,” he said..Giuliani also said he would continue construction of a border fence, deport any illegal alien who commits a felony and propose that all immigrations who want to become citizens learn English.
While it appears that Rudy has grabbed the issue and intends to run with it, fellow Republican wannabee Mitt Romney isn’t going to allow Hizzoner to claim the high ground without having his say. Following a campaign stop in Londonderry, NH Thursday evening, reporters had only one thing on their minds, and Mitt was more than happy to oblige, coming down hard on Giuliani…
