Sen. McCain and illegal immigration
The Washington Times ^ | January 14, 2008 | Editorial

Posted on 01/14/2008 9:31:53 AM PST by Gritty

... there is indeed much to admire about Sen. John McCain ... this has not been the case with his disingenuous blustering on illegal immigration — particularly when his cosponsorship of mass-amnesty legislation with Sen. Edward Kennedy is raised...

(snip)

...it doesn't give Mr. McCain the right to shut people up when they ask legitimate questions about his immigration record — which includes cosponsoring legislation to permit illegal aliens to pay lower in-state tuition rates denied to some students that are in the country legally, supporting Social Security benefits for illegals and voting against an amendment last year that would have permanently barred gang members, terrorists and other criminals from the United States.

In a Jan. 5 debate, Mr. McCain declared that anyone who says he supported amnesty is "a liar, is lying."

(snip)

Following is a partial listing of some of Mr. McCain's troubling actions on illegal immigration:

Supporting mass amnesty...

Supporting in-state tuition for illegal aliens...

Voted to kill border fence...

Voted against permanently barring gang members and terrorists from the United States...

Voted in favor of Social Security benefits to illegal aliens who commit identity fraud...

McCain is well ahead in Michigan in the polls (not always to be trusted.)

There are just as many polls that show Mitt ahead of McCain in Michigan.

Not a strategic thinker? And Romney is not a liberal, anyway.

Obama and Hillary are the real liberals in the presidential race.

amazes me how immigration is a big deal in SC yet you can ask two questions to many voters
is immigration important to you, answer is yes

ok who you voting for
answer mc cain

tyhe mind really boggles
people of SC need to know the truth about this bad tempered man and how he is so soft on illegal immigration
of course I won’t hold my breath for the MSM media to tell the public as mc cain is their darling like huckerbee is knowing huckerbee would never win against clinton or barack hussein obama
yes that is his name but the media won’t say all his name knowing people will look into him a little more and find what a phony he is
