The stand against illegal immigration is an up front topic for the 2008 presidential election. A meet of the presidential candidates was thrown head on with questions concerning how to resolve the issues of illegal immigration. This has become a centerpiece of Tom Tancredo's campaign. He stands to secure our countries borders and states that this is not based on racism; it is based on the rule of law. Duncan Hunters approach begins with a fence that will cover 854 miles along the southern border of the United States.
According to USA Election Polls (USAElectionPolls.com), Duncan Hunter is polling best in Western States. But with his low polling numbers, his small portions are not likely significant.
He plans to have this accomplished within a six-month time frame. In San Diego, California 17.9 miles have already been built since a bill for this was passed on October 26th. This has already lowered the rate of the smuggling of drugs and people. After this statement the concern of manning the fence was brought about. As well as once the fence has been built how will the millions of illegal immigrants that are already living in the U.S. going to be handled?
It is understood that the INS is understaffed and unable to handle the massive numbers of people who should in-fact be deported under U.S. law. The former governor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani understands this difficulty from facing this problem head on. As governor of NYC he had to turn over illegal immigrants to INS and unfortunately these cases were never dealt with. No deportations ever took place. The first step in solving this issue is to stop immigrants from entering the country. There are technologies in use by other countries that have proven successful. Such technologies include photo, heat and motion detectors. All of the candidates for the 2008 election have illegal immigration heavy on the mind and as Americans we have to put our faith in these candidates that this growing concern will in fact be taken care of.
