USM Dowdy - Herring Debate

Immigration:

Dowdy: I supported the bill that was supported by President Bush and Senator Trent Lott.
Companies should be prosecuted and jailed for employing illegal immigrants (Herring then agreed)

Herring: We need security including a wall in this time. We must stop "the flood of illegal immigrants."
"We are a nation of immigrants" (How's that for a tired line?)

  1. It seems to me that they said the same thing....Maybe I am misunderstanding.

    We ARE a nation of immigrants, a nation of LEGAL immigrants.

    Every immigrant who came to Ellis Island came here legally. If people want to come to America, then let them come, but make them come legally.

  2. I would have found it to be a tired line if Dowdy had used it; Herring just beat him to it.
