McCain said conservatives who want to focus exclusively on securing America’s borders are missing a major part of the problem: that 40 percent of the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States are here because they overstayed their visas, not because they entered the country illegally.

Hello Mc Cain - WTF is the difference ?

Okay, Senor Juan Mequain. 12 million minus 40% equals a little over seven million. America will take it's chances with that reduction as a starting point. Get to work!

Linseed Graham, SHUT UP, you BIGOT!

Hello Mc Cain - WTF is the difference ?”

We have 2 holes in our system:
1. one of them is the visa overstay hole (40% of problem)
- to plug it you need to track entries and exits from the country (US VISIT program) and hunt down the sponsors of visiter
2. Another is the border crossing hole (60% of problem)
- to plug it you need to build a fence.

Both holes are driven by economic reasons (jobs and govt goodies) so you need
3. The employment attraction needs to be diminished with employment verification and workplace enforcement
4. End govt services to illegal aliens (there are many places where immigration status is never checked)

OR YOU CAN SAY MAKE ANOTHER HOLE VIA AMNESTY FOR 12 MILLION AND CALL THAT A “SOLUTION”...

“I think the American people are sophisticated enough to know that the way you stop illegal immigration is not to start by announcing you’re going to reward illegal immigration,” Bilbray said. “I know the senators may think that it’s logical what they’re doing, the president may think it’s logical, but it’s as logical to give amnesty at the beginning of immigration reform as it would be to drill a hole in the bottom of a boat to let the water out.”

Screw you, MeCain. The 12 million number is 5 years old and is more likely over 20 million.
