Kavanaugh is not going to be a wild card on that issue, which IMO, is what counts most of all.
1. Kavanaugh
2. Barrett
3. Kethledge.
In order of preference
Well it's what counts for button
Kethledge, as we see here, has a relatively abysmal record on the issue of immigration, and apparently Barrett has some adopted children from Haiti, which could end up causing a sort of conflict of interest when it comes to making a tough ruling on that issue.
Ehh
I'm not sure it would
Hi not sure it would, I'm Dad!
hehe so glad I blocked dadbot
We don't want to take any chances
The adopted children were adopted legally, and thus there should be no issues with cases against illegal immigrants, however this **might** be an issue and so she is not top pick, yet above Kethledge who has a horrible record on immigration as proven by his voting
oops
let me fix that hold on
This is the thing
Immigration of all forms, legal and illegal is an issue.
We must be as hardline as possible when it comes to that issue or we're going to be buried.
So it's very important to have someone strong on it and we know will deliver.
Ok I edited in all I wanted to say
It sent to early first time
Anyways, here's some rulings Kavanaugh had on immigration
So was my 1 2 3 ordering correct?
on the issue of immigration, yeah
Ok
Overall?
Probably that as well because it's really the main priority
Ok
Kavanaugh denied illegal aliens from being able to vote in union elections (2007)

That's good
But that's 11 years ago
Kavanaugh opposed the grant of immigrant visas at expense of American workers (2014)

That's more recent
And also good
Kavanaugh has recognized the government’s interest in “supporting American farmers and ranchers against their foreign competitors.” (2014)

So, yeah, on this issue, he's shown a consistent, solid, hardline stance.
Yeah
Other issues?
Guns for example? Since that's more of my area
alright, let me see if he has done a ruling on that issue
Ok
"In my judgment, both D.C.’s ban on semi-automatic rifles and its gun registration requirement are unconstitutional under Heller" (2010)
