Yes, immigration is where I disagree with Johnson/Weld.
They are somewhat vague on their website. Don't want a wall and want more work visas and
Better vetting. They don't mention sanctuary cities.
That's why I want them in the debates. Hopefully, they see the huge amount of voters that what stricter immigration policies, and at least will enforce our immigration laws on the books already which Obama and liberals have refused to do.
Their site is vague on a few issues. I just need more information!

Johnson is against giving illegal immigrants government benefits. He is for deporting illegal immigrants who have committed other crimes. If an illegal immigrant works at a farm with no other criminal record, he is okay with getting that illegal immigrant a work visa. This way we have tax increases and lower the expenses for government benefits. Johnson does not want amnesty or citizenship for illegal immigrants. If an illegal immigrant transfers to a work visa, they can eventually apply for a green card and then citizenship, the current process typically takes about 10 years to gain citizenship.
I think that is a very reasonable plan.
I do not know Johnsons positions on refugees, but I believe he is against refugees coming here.
As far as border security, I believe he is mostly for the status quo.
^^^ okay, good to know! I can go with that.
Where did you find all those details?
Has he said anything about sanctuary cities?
I don't know if he has said anything about sanctuary cities, but taking bits and pieces from things he has said, I'm not sure if he would do much against sanctuary cities. I do know there are many many sanctuary cities, so I'm not sure how effective a battle against them would be. Time and resources would likely be spent better elsewhere. The federal government has enough problems, I'm not voting for someone to solve city problems. If a city wants to spend their tax money on illegals, they can do so, but seems stupid to me. But, from everything I have read and seen, Johnson won't be spending federal money to subside illegal immigrants living here.
I supported Johnson in 2012 as well, so I've been paying attention to him since then. I'm not a Libertarian or a libertarian, but he was a great governor, a successful businessman, surprisingly honest and open about his political and personal beliefs, and I think he is best for the job.
There are lots of interviews on YouTube with him, so that may be your best bet for information on him. I prefer to hear from the candidates mouths what they say on issues.
