VP's stances on immigration

Let me start off first by replying to tommy's comment. I would have to say that the stances of the each candidate are so similar that immigrant voters and just regular voters have little choice over which one is better based solely on their stance. So to answer tommy's question, since the candidates' stances are so similar voters look to the implications of the candidates' plans and also their history of the issue.

So now that that is done I have found some new news. Everybody has been worrying about Obama's and McCain's policies for illegal immigration, but what are the views of the vice presidential candidates? Do the VP candidates even have anything to say about illegal immigration. Well as of last week we have found out what Sarah Palin has to say about immigrants. Sarah Palin sat down with Univision anchor Jorge Ramos and talked to him about her policy. From the interview, Palin's down to earth quality really comes out. She doesn't know how many undocumented immigrants are in Alaska and she only knows one word in Spanish but she believes that the Latino votes is crucial. She also thinks that total deportation of aliens is improbably but total amnesty is out of the question. She relates to immigrants who want the opportunity to come to America but thinks they should go through all legal processes to do that. In essense she shares the same views as McCain which helps them in the fact that they are a united front. http://blogs.chron.com/immigration/archives/presidential_election/

Since I found this interview of Sarah Palin's views I thought I would go ahead and seek out Joe Biden's views in order to see unbiased. There are several interesting things about his views. First of all he has the same views as Obama on certain issues like a Guest Worker Program and building a fence along the Mexican border. One of the things that struck me as interesting was his voting on a specific bill. With the acceptance of this bill all illegal immigrants would not be able to share in the benfits of social security. Biden said "YES on allowing illegal immigrants to participate in Social Security". The other thing that was interesting was his 8% score by the U.S. border control. According to the scale used by USBC, Biden is strongly supportive for keeping the borders open. This would not be a bad thing for those immigrants who want to support our nation but it would be a bad thing for allowing terrorists into the country.

As I was studying Biden's plan for border security I found that he shared the same views as Obama but he had different reasoning for border security. Biden wants the borders to be secured not so that more aliens can illegal cross but so that drugs could be more readily halted at the border. http://immigration.about.com/od/immigrationlawandpolicy/a/Biden.htm
