Immigration Questions Abundant in CNN/YouTube Debates

In what may have been one of the most publicized debate in American history, eight presidential candidates, who hope to become the next leader of America, came together on Wednesday night to answer questions posed by YouTube members.

The first topic that was raised by the YouTube videos was the issue of immigration and how to solve the problem of illegal aliens. Congressman Hunter was the only candidate to respond to the question who was able to show that he is and has done something to combat the situation of illegal immigrants. He responded to the question by stating that he was a part of building a border fence in San Diego that "reduced the smuggling of people and drugs by more than 90 percent." He also went on to state, " Now, the administration has $800 million on hand right now, cash on hand. They haven't built a linear inch of that fence in Texas. As president of the United States, I would bill the double-border fence, all 854 miles, in six months." The other candidates who responded simply talked about the different things to take into consideration when dealing with this issue, but none had as strong a response or stance as Congressman Hunter.
