I think they've been led astray by a couple of individuals that very frankly have done some things which I find reprehensible in American politics. Both Republicans followed full schedules today and took questions from the press and public on a range of issues including controlling illegal immigration across the border with Mexico. Now this is a long border, it's a very long border, and makes it awfully difficult to completely enforce. People are coming to America because of the hope of America. And moms and dads come to our country to feed their children.
Family values are powerful amongst a lot of people around the world.
We must enforce our borders. But one of the reasons I'm a strong supporter of trade in our hemisphere is because the real solution, the long-term solution to take pressure off our borders is for moms and dads to be able to find meaningful work closer to home. I will do whatever is necessary as far as enforcing the border. But I would also point out that we must realize that as long as the Mexican economy and the countries south of there, that their economy is so bad that people can't live and feed themselves and their families where they are, then they are going to try and come someplace where they can. The three Republican candidates will debate tomorrow night from Los Angeles, but only Governor Bush and Alan Keyes will be at the debate site.
