Thompson makes illegal immigration issue once again


For those of you following illegal immigration as your "issue" story, some interesting news just out from one of the leading Republican candidates, actor Fred Thompson. I guess somebody DOES want to make this an issue...
As so often happens, one candidate decides to make a campaign statement, and now others need to keep up. Rudy Guliani's campaign was ready for Thompson's immigration plan ahead of time.
By the way, this David Greene piece on NPR gives a good example of political issue reporting.

I think I struck numbers gold and being that it's the night before our rough drafts are due - for those of you looking for some last minute statistics, these Washington Post polls that I've found have helped prove my "point" a little clearer...http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/polls/postpoll_100307.html - they range on several topics!
