Santorum opposes Chain Migration & Visa Lottery‏!!!!!

A very interesting post from http://www.numbersusa.com/ analyzing the best current candidate on immigration. This follows this post analyzing Arizona's immigration law passed a couple of years ago. This follows this post about the new congressional districts in Texas being redrawn so that the new seats favor the Democratic party in a Republican state.  This follows this post  about Louisiana suing about the appropriations of House Seats and the Electoral College(think about redistricting in your state)!   This follows this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants such as the 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso, where President Barack Obama recently bashed immigration enforcement! For more that you can do to get involved click HERE and you can read a very interesting book HERE!

And Remember when contacting public officials to please be firm but respectful. Any over the top messages could result in law enforcement action against you. Just let these politicians know that you are aware of what they have done and that you intend to remove them from office in the 2012 elections.


Santorum opposes Chain Migration & Visa Lottery‏







SEN. SANTORUM COMES OUT AGAINST

CHAIN MIGRATION & VISA LOTTERY



HE SOARS AHEAD OF ALL OTHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES WITH AN A-minus IMMIGRATION GRADE



Former Sen. Rick Santorum zoomed from the back of the GOP pack on immigration issues to way out FRONT at a C-SPAN televised event in South Carolina on Friday.



For the first time in many years, we have a top-contending Presidential candidate who says LEGAL immigration numbers are too high!



Look at Santorum's new ratings in 10 categories, plus all his statements that led to those ratings at:

Congratulations to all of you Santorum supporters who have been pushing him to greatly improve his immigration platform. You succeeded beyond most of our wildest dreams.



Now, the rest of you who are supporting other GOP and Democratic candidates need to increase your pressure on them to catch up to Santorum.



Look at the ratings and grades for all the candidates at:

READ ALL THE DETAILS, ANALYSIS AND JOIN THE DISCUSSION

ABOUT HOW SANTORUM WENT FROM D-minus TO A-minus

IN A RELATIVELY SHORT RESPONSE AT A CANDIDATE FORUM



When Santorum began moving up in the public opinion polls late November and December, we devoted blogs and webcasts to his poor record on immigration that worked out to a D-minus.



Santorum rose to the occasion at the barbeque event Friday for Greenville and Spartanburg Counties, hosted by a couple of South Carolina congressmen.



You can read the details on how he did it at:

SANTORUM SAYS VISA LOTTERY IS 'SILLY'



For the first time in the year-long Presidential campaign thus far, we have a candidate who has brought up the Visa Lottery and Chain Migration.



Santorum wasn't asked about them.



No, he was asked other immigration questions and brought up Visa Lottery and Chain Migration on his own!



Santorum said:



"I think legal immigration is a great thing. It has to be a lot more ordered than it is today. And the fact that we have a lottery system for people to come into this country is, in a word, silly. People should not be in a lottery to determine whether they come to this country."



On Chain Migration, Santorum didn't define what he means by "immediate family," which we define as "spouse and minor children." His lack of detail keeps his rating at a GOOD for now. But we are ecstatic to have the following added to the debate:



"(Immigrants) should come to this country based on a whole bunch of different criteria and one of them should not be chain immigration where relatives come into the country because somebody is here. Immediate family is one thing, but extended family is a very different thing."



Read his further statements about why overall legal immigration numbers should come down and his statements of support for many kinds of immigration enforcement at:

We'll be watching Sen. Santorum carefully. His record of promises on these things is recent and somewhat thin. If he begins to back away from any of this, we will immediately start downgrading him.



So, people need to thank him and encourage him to stick to these newly stated positions at:
