What a great line up we have. I wonder what DeMint’s rating would be.

DeMint has an A+/A on a different immigration report card.

So, for this one it’d likely be an A or a B+.

It’s the fault of the voters. The idiots in Arizona renominated McCain. In Colorado, Tancredo lost. In Nevada, Sharron Angle lost.
Of course NumbersUSA forgets some candidates. Michele Bachmann and Jim Demint come to mind.

I know why Ron Paul got a C- he is not for sealing off the border with a fence. I used to be for this position but I am sure anymore because with the way the government is abusing our rights they might use the fence to seal us with no means of escape. Cut off welfare benefits and increasing border patrol with soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan could be sufficient without a fence.

Timothy,

I suppose there’s always Canada.

I remember in the 90s when Buchanan was painted as an “extremist” for proposing a border fence. It’s good to see John Thune taking that same stance today.

NumbersUSA update: Haley Barbour receives a D- !!

Of the 2012 candidates, only Obama is worse.
