Wow...the platform sounds tough on illegals...great.

Now lets keep McCain with the platform...and keep the Chamber of Commerce/Collective of Communists out of this issue.

The fact that “illegal aliens” are referred to as “illegal aliens” probably is most telling. Tired of hearing so called “conservatives” using the “illegal immigrant” term

Referring to “illegal aliens” as “immigrants” is like referring to “bank robbers” as “depositors”

I posted the portion of the platform text relating to immigration yesterday:

You can't be an "immigrant" anywhere in this world without an immigration visa of some sort.

That means the illegal entrants in the United States are not "immigrants" of any kind.

At best they are simply tourists without visas.

I’ll never forget Chertoff’s referring to them as “economic migrants.”
