New Mexico Governor and Democratic Presidential candidate Bill Richardson outlines his views on immigration policy.

-----

Get to Know the Candidate: 2008 U.S. Democratic Presidential candidate Governor Bill Richardson in a conversation with Fernando R. Zazueta hosted by The Commonwealth Club of California.

Richardson engages in a wide-ranging conversation about his political views and background. As a seven-term congressman from New Mexico, Richardson focused his energies on major foreign policy and energy issues. In 1997, he was appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and was later secretary of energy under President Clinton.

Since 2002, Richardson's moderate approach to politics has characterized his leadership of New Mexico, where he has been devoted to clean energy use. Richardson's Hispanic heritage and approach to immigration issues make him an important figure in the long-term debate over border security and how to deal with illegal immigrants. -- The Commonwealth Club

Governor Bill Richardson was elected Governor of New Mexico in 2002 by the largest margin of any candidate since 1964. Governor Richardson just completed his third legislative session, successfully cutting taxes for more than 500,000 working New Mexicans, creating opportunities through a statewide Pre-Kindergarten program, revamping the state's higher education system, and increasing access to quality health care. He is a candidate for the 2008 presidential election.

@Avatarblackwolf British settlers turned a vast empire into a killing field in the 1600s, and gradually turned it's army into it's largest and most expensive institution in the land. We've terrorized and taken resources out of the hands of the displaced and unprepared. Call it what you will, but at least understand it for what it is.

@erik4727 British settlers turned America into the greatest country in the world while Spanish invaders destroyed Mexico and all of South America. So kiss my ass.

What a loser bill richardson is he couldnt identify illegal mexicans on a street west of the roundhouse, 150 yard from the "roundhouse" chambers in Santa Fe. Illegal mexicans within eyesite from the where the former gov gives B.S. speaches when the cameras were rolling. Typical politician full of B.S. when the cameras are rolling and doing nothing to stop illegal mexicans in the Broke State of New Mexico. Glad he didnt go anywhere in failed pres. bid do to corruption charges in NM
