Rep. Duncan Hunter is a credible presidential candidate unlike limelight-lover Joe Biden--

Republican presidential hopeful Rep. Duncan Hunter Sunday lauded San Diego's success in cracking down on illegal immigration and said the United States should be wary of China using U.S. dollars to build a "war machine."

Appearing on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," Hunter said criticism of President George W. Bush's Iraq policies in the media was lowering morale of the troops.

Hunter, whose son is serving his second tour of duty in Iraq, said he believes the American people support sending more troops as reinforcements to Iraq.

Hunter, R-Alpine, also said he opposes amnesty for immigrants in the United States without legal papers.

"We send thousands of people back every week and I think it's wrong for us to send a message to the great Border Patrol of this country and all of the people that work to make sure that people are here legally to say 'you know we really don't believe that stuff,"' Hunter said.

"All we're saying with respect to the fence is we've got this big front door in America -- legal immigration. Knock on the door if you want to come into the United States."

The wall in San Diego, he said, was proof that a massive fence across the U.S-Mexican border could work.

"We have reduced smuggling of people and narcotics by more than 90 percent in that smuggler's corridor between San Diego and Tijuana," he said. "That the fence works in San Diego."<<
