On Immigration: Secure the border, then illegals can stay if they pay fines

Both Dan Sullivan and Mead Treadwell refused to sign a pledge offered by Joe Miller to oppose all efforts at "amnesty" for people here illegally if elected to the US Senate, with Treadwell chastising Miller for sending out a mailer on immigration featuring menacing Hispanic gang members.

Miller, in turn, noted that several of Sullivan's backers, like GOP strategist Karl Rove, favor allowing many of the 11 million immigrants in the country to eventually become citizens. "It's because it's the truth," Miller said when challenged about the pictures on the flier. "This is real-world stuff."

On immigration, all three candidates bashed the Obama administration for failing to secure the border. Treadwell said he supported letting some people here illegally stay once they pay a fine and wait for permits behind those who immigrated legally. Sullivan called for more border security.
