If he wants to make it too easy to immigrate, then he has an escape plan from the amnesty question. He can afford to oppose amnesty in any form because nobody is asking him what he means by "fixing" the VISA and entry process.
If one opposes amnesty, then one must have something in mind as to what to do about illegals who are in the country. If he is not outspoken about throwiing them out, then what does he have in mind for them? Illegal immigration is an "entry process". Get it? See, if you "fix" the entry process so that illegals can leave and then re-enter some way, or maybe even be considered to have left without leaving or create some kind of loophole so that illegals can appear to have engaged the "fixed entry process", then this is in no way amnesty. Amnesty is just that, no matter what form it takes. It is the legal declaration that people who have entered the US illegally are not to be prosecuted for doing so. They are allowed, by law, to reside in the US without having received permission to do so.
Given the occasion, I would ask this guy, "You say that you intend to fix the VISA and entry process. Do you intend to make it
easier to get into the country or
harder."
If he says he intends to make it harder, that sounds better, but still leaves too much wiggle room. I would ask him, "
How do you intend to make it harder?" Do not let these guys rest for a moment unless they exhibit real aggression against illegal immigrants and anyone else who thinks the United States is just a big parking lot that anyone can pull into.
