Thompson releases immigration plan

By sage of monticello | October 23, 2007

A politician finally gets it…Attrition by enforcement is what makes the most sense.

As Fred Thompson said these words, he released his comprehensive plan for immigration reform. A topic which MA 5th demonstrated may be a winning issue for Republican candidates next fall.

Some highlights of Thompson’s plan include:

No Amnesty

Enforce Existing Federal Laws

Increased Border Security: Doubling Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents handling interior enforcement, increasing the Border Patrol to at least 25,000 agents, and increasing detention space to incarcerate illegal aliens we arrest rather than letting them go with a promise to show up later for legal proceedings against them.

Attrition through Enforcement

Maximize Legal Immigration Program Efficiency

Modernize Immigration Law/Policy

English as Official Language

Preference for American Military Service
