Ron Paul could have sewn up this straw poll had he addressed immigration in some fashion similar to this:
“Once all humane removal (of illegals) was accomplished my administration would then endeavor to collect by whatever means necessary– from the government of Mexico and the rest of the southern hemisphere — all of the billions of dollars the American taxpayer lost by subsidizing the public assistance, health care and education during their people’s stay.”
Money talks. You know the rest.
