Kenneth Eaton on Immigration

Democratic Senate challenger

No deportation; embrace immigrants & correct our mistakes

While some feel the best course of action is deportation, this option is costly, when considering jailing and the cost of transportation. Deportation also goes against the melting pot spirit of America. We must understand the plight of good people who embrace the American dream. We must embrace these immigrants and correct our mistakes at the same time. We need to offer amnesty to some of these illegal immigrants. The cost of this amnesty will be registering to become tax paying citizens. Source: Campaign website, www.kennetheaton.com, "Issues" May 2, 2008
