Pro-Immigrant Group Calls For Cain To Leave Race

Written by FrumForum News on Monday July 11, 2011

The Huffington Post reports:

Somos Republicans, a national pro-immigration organization, wants former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain to abandon his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination in the next election cycle.

Controversial remarks Cain recently made on the issue of border security are at issue in the Hispanic group's call for the Republican hopeful to drop out of the race.

ThinkProgress relays what Cain had to say during a stop in Iowa last month:

"I just got back from China. Ever heard of the Great Wall of China? It looks pretty sturdy. And that       sucker is real high. I think we can build one if we want to! We have put a man on the moon, we can build a fence! Now, my fence might be part Great Wall and part electrical technology…It will be a twenty foot wall, barbed wire, electrified on the top, and on this side of the fence, I’ll have that moat that President Obama talked about. And I would put those alligators in that moat!"
