As Ed Koch said on Steve Lazberg today “Rudy’s dead...forget about it!”
Skipped a few posts but I have to comment when people say McCain favors “amnesty”. That is just not true.
Do y’all realize that the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill actually PUNISHED the immigrants who were/are here illegally? ($2000. fine) And it required them to pay back taxes. It also provided for increased border enforcement, including funding for 300 miles of vehicle barriers, 105 camera and radar towers, and 20,000 more Border Patrol agents. Also the bill would have required an immigrant to be IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY when they apply for their green card.
Before you criticize McCain for actually trying to fix a big problem, how about reading the provisions of the bill. Check out Wikipedia, that ought to be simple enough for you.

And please do not fail to understand that by NOT acting on this problem, and leaving things AS THEY ARE, all the current illegals have in effect - AMNESTY!
Give McCain some credit for actually addressing the problem - that’s a heck of a lot more than is getting done NOW!
