Illegal Immigration Battles Loom with Obama [McCain's unholy alliance with Reid]

Despite their victory in the huge fight over amnesty for illegal immigrants in 2007, conservatives can’t rest easy: it’s all about to happen all over again.

The Democrats’ (and RINO Republicans’) push for “comprehensive immigration reform” has returned and will be a major issue this year, and perhaps next year as well if the pro-amnesty groups don’t get their way.

Whether Barack Obama wants to risk another public backlash over such a comprehensive effort early in his first term -- knowing that polls indicate the large majority of Americans oppose illegal immigration -- is a big question mark. But we do know that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, (D-Nev) said just two Sundays ago on Meet the Press that John McCain had promised him to work “real, real hard on immigration reform, and I’ll work with him.”

Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.

McCain betrayed conservatives for free.

We’ll probably have to stop amnesty a lot more than twice.

So much lettuce to pick, so little time...

You should contact a physician. Your little boner for McCain is contrary to good mental health.

[EagleUSA]

Just more “compassionate conservatism” coming our way — in the form of just another arm of the Socialist Obama voter army.

[Mojave]

McCain is the ultimate open borders champion. Heck, he even gave us a Kenyan President.

[TomGuy]

Around election time, Reid said that immigration reform HAD to be done within the first 30 days or it would get pushed aside by other more pressing issues.

Of course, both candidate McCain and candidate Obama promised La Raza that they, as president, would put immigration reform up front.

President-elect Obama, via his spokespeople, has more recently hedged on that commitment.

Hopefully, Obama has sense enough to know the mood of the American people and, like his predecessor, will wait until his second term before trying to push such an unpopular issue through.

McCain...mental health...LOL. Oh the irony!

[Azzurri]

With the economy in shambles and with rapidly rising unemployment...well, my guess is they will face a much louder and vocal opposition than they did even last time. Of course, enough (stupid) Republicans will go along with it so any chance to differentiate the parties on this issue will not be forthcoming.

“Your little boner for McCain is contrary to good mental health.”

LMAO....In case you haven’t noticed Jacquerie, you’re far outnumbered by the opposition and so, mental health aside, I’m inclined to question who it is that really has the boner for McCain.

[TomGuy]

Of course, enough (stupid) Republicans will go along with it so any chance to differentiate the parties on this issue will not be forthcoming.

Pubbie leadership and Congresspersons are so afraid of being accused of being racist if they criticize Obama, they are bending over backward to give him anything he wants.

It was bad enough to watch the Pubbies fold on so many issues during the last 8 years. It is only going to be worse for the foreseeable future.

That race card is still one of the most powerful instruments. It caused candidate Clinton cower and candidate McCain to cringe and Majority Leader Reid to reverse himself. We will see it used allot during the coming months.

Until the people of this country get real about holding our elected officials accountable to do our will, they will eventually get their way on this issue. It's become the bad penny syndrome. I suggest we get ready to heat the tar and start sacking up the feathers, we'll need em.

Listen you. Rabscuttle385 was the canary in the coal mine while the rest of us were going ga-ga over Palin, and by default McCain. I too was one of the FReepers criticizing him and now I'm eating a sack full of crow about it.

McVain’s missing the adoration of his pressie friends. Look for their darling RINO maverick to return and screw America again...and again...and again...

And please spare me the “But he’s a war hero!” BS. McVain used up all that good will and more long ago.

[potlatch]

Thanks, forgot I had that with McCain in it!

Lol, looks very good devolve.

Thanks potlatch

Juan and Teresa are back!

I should added Reid!

[potlatch]

What’s with Teresa? I haven’t even looked at the Drudge Report today. Whoops, just turned the TV on!

Lol, your fingers were typing faster than your mind, huh?
I didn't know because I did catch a glimpse of Kerry interrogating Hillary today and thought ‘what's happening’?

Elections have consequences.

We are so screwed.

“You should contact a physician. Your little boner for McCain is contrary to good mental health.”

B.S. McCain is contrary to good mental health.

[AuntB]

Yep. I’m still spitting the feathers out of my mouth.

[Rastus]

I believe we have a better shot at stopping it with the big O than we would have with McCain. Obama would love it, but he’s not going to tank himself to get it. McCain just didn’t give a damn. It’s his issue. It’s all he cares about. He thinks those of us who oppose amnesty ate all of his strawberries or something.

[Katarina]

That is great.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

>>Hopefully, Obama has sense enough to know the mood of the American people and, like his predecessor, will wait until his second term before trying to push such an unpopular issue through.<<

If Obama did get amnesty passed early, seems like that would make it harder to pass “universal health care,” since it should be obvious that after amnesty, the number of uninsured people would be a lot bigger.

Of course Obama wants both amnesty and “universal health care.” He might be able to hide the health coverage for illegals in the health care legislation.

[Ev Reeman]

If there is any hint of an amnesty, the American people all across the country need to mobilize like they did last year. Send wires, letters and emails, make phone calls and keep on doing it until the self-serving and dumb politicians in Washington get the message. A clear message needs to be sent to those !@#$%^&*! SOBs.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

You are correct we can't relax. Pro-amnesty crooks from both parties, like terrorists, know that they can lose 99 times but still win if they succeed only one time, and after the damage is done, it is irreversible.

[potlatch]

[That is great.]

Thank you so much Katarina!

[devolve]

Never at any time do my fingers leave my hands.....

[potlatch]

Lol.
