Frank Caprio seems bent on drifting rightward as an election strategy. These comments, published last week in The Boston Globe, seem indicative of his current trajectory. Also, Caprio is reportedly getting ready to release the results of a poll – a push poll based on the transcripts of questions provided to RIFUTURE.
Since Channel 12 and Brown University released the questions they asked in their recent polls, it only seems fair for the campaign to release the questions they asked. Wouldn't you agree?
From The Boston Globe:
He would keep a 2008 executive order signed by Carcieri that cracks down on illegal immigrants, even though he did not know all its terms. He supports requiring that companies doing business with the state use an electronic database called E-Verify to check whether new hires are authorized to work in the country.
When asked, Caprio said he also backed a provision in the order requiring state police and prison officials to identify illegal immigrants for possible deportation.
"People in Rhode Island can't pay their own bills," Caprio said. "So why are we going to argue whether we should be paying the bills for illegal immigrants in prison?"
