NumbersUSA, the group that can rightly claim to be one of the major forces that thwarted President Bush's immigration bill this year, has just posted a new look at all of the major Democratic and Republican presidential candidates and finds most of them lacking.

Roy Beck, the group's executive director, says nie of the 15 candidates oppose "most of the measures that experts agree would be necessary to actually stop the illegal flow."

There are 16 different measures, ranging from opposing driver's licenses for illegal aliens to committing to stopping future illegal entry. Only one Democrat scores one "excellent" rating in even one category — Chris Dodd, whose opposition to driver's licenses for illegal aliens helped put Hillary Rodham Clinton on the spot several weeks back.

On the Republican side, Fred Thompson, Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter all scored overall "excellent" ratings for opposing amnesty, while John McCain and Rudy Giuliani were rated "bad."

Mr. Beck's e-mail went out to 1.6 million people who are on NumbersUSA's mailing list. Given Numbers' success over the last year, here's betting some of the campaigns have their supporters call and try to get off Mr. Beck's naughty list.
