This is a real man not a wimpy draft dodging republican. VOTE THE PARTY OF OBSTRUCTION, THE PARTY OF THE ELITE RICH THE PARTY OF THE CORPORATION OUT OF OFFICE NOW. NO MORE REPUBLICANS - THEY SENT 5000 YOUNG AMERICANS TO DIE SO THAT THEY COULD PROFIT THROUGH THEIR STOCKS WITH DEFENSE CONTRACTORS, AND THE OIL COMPANIES - THEY HAVE KILLED MORE AMERICANS THEN BIN LADIN - NO MORE REPUBLICANS IN OFFICE.

All of this, is exactly so.

I wish the system was much different, but from where we are right now there is little choice. Senator Sanders, has it correctly.

@Fashionificationful: Illegals are not the problem, they take a very small percentage of unskilled jobs. Companies sending jobs to India and China is the problem, that's why there are no jobs in this country.

A great beginning is to deport all illegals, and deal with the anchor baby issue.

@Fashionificationful: This is a diversionary tactic by the right. The problem is NOT the illegals in this country who take a small number of mostly unskilled jobs. It is the whole scale corporate practice of shipping jobs overseas!

@Fashionificationful: We can't allow the civil rights of individuals to run over roughshod either. You people go on and on about state's rights vs the feds.

We can't allow local cities to make sanctuary cities policies, because they will bring our inner city turf wars to epic proportions by bringing in the drug cartel and Columbian gangs. (Mexican Gangs don't recognize US borders established Treaty of Guadalupe) C SPAN "Black Republican Forum" Session 2 (begin at 11:30) Allen West stated part of Amnesty of 1986 was to secure our borders and enforcement our laws, but haven't happened. (We're still talking about new amnesty like DREAM Act.)

GOOGLE “illegal immigration counters”, There are 11,941,812 (or 11.9 million) skilled jobs provided to illegal immigrants. the 15.1 million unemployed could take the 11.9 million available jobs.

@stonerj0e: To bring back jobs and raise wages they need to create competition for American workers. To do that, make it tougher for companies to send jobs overseas!

@treon123456: How much are you being paid by the Republican party to sit at the computer and peddle this crap?
