The Republican Presidential candidates have all been debating with each other, preparing for the future caucuses and primaries that will decide which one of them will go head to head with President Barack Obama. The topic of immigration has come up in the debates and how a candidate feels about illegal immigration says a lot about him/her. Voters often think of candidates simply as how they feel about a few key topics like immigration. Usually for a candidate, its either a hit or miss.Newt Gingrich apparently favors a "humane" immigration policy, a significant departure from intense Republicans who believe in erecting a fence (double fence, fence with electrocution) along the border. Texas governor Rick Perry also believes in a more moderate approach and has come under fire for his support of a peice of legislation similar to the California DREAM Act in Texas, a bill that would allow illegal immigrants to go to local colleges and universities.
On the other side, Mitt Romney and Michelle Bachmann think that Gingrich and Perry's approach is favoring amnesty and would much rather build a fence across the entire border. Perry suffered in the polls for his dealing with immigration with a "heart" but Gingrich will probably not suffer in the same way because his policy seemed more logical.
