One step at a time now, he said keep the path to citizenship we have now, which is good because that means going through the proper channels, not running the border.

If you think we are going to halt legal immigration too, well good luck on that and I doubt that will happen in our lifetime if ever. Let's first get a handle on the illegal alien situation and that is what Cain is saying, enforce the laws on the books. Very simple and practical. No double-speak there. Unless you are Bill Clinton type who wants to dissect the meaning of the word "is".

I thought about though twoller and I admire your skepticism. It is always good to question and get your info. Good for you.

The terrorists who launched 9/11 were in the country legally. All of the Muslim terrorists that we keep running accross are in the country legally. We are going to see more and more who are born of people in the country legally. If we are going to confront illegal immigration we cannot do it without confronting it's connections with legal immigration.

All that is necessary for Cain to remove any ambiguity on where he stands with illegal immigration is for him to speak about it more. I'm not going to imagine somebody is going to do something about illegals based on two sentences.

I don't see any ambiguity in his position however, that is one thing I like about him but that said, I still have lots of reseach to do on all of the candidates, especially the ones I might vote for.
