Did He Really "Get the Message" After His Campaign's Near Death Experience?
According to research compiled by NumbersUSA and Congress Grades, nearly every time there is a choice, Sen. McCain favors business lobbyists’ desires for foreign workers vs. protecting American workers’ wages and jobs. View his voting record.
McCain’s hopes of giving permanent residency to millions of illegal aliens will saddle American taxpayers with huge costs. A 2007 Heritage Foundation study found that a household headed by the typical high-school-drop-out illegal alien costs taxpayers a net of about $20,000 for every year allowed to stay in this country.
McCain has taken the pro-amnesty position in nearly two dozen votes and co-sponsorships. View the long list.
For six years after the 9/11 attacks, McCain held our border security as a hostage to his desires for amnesty. He was willing to work to secure our borders and try to prevent illegal immigration ONLY if it was tied to providing permanent residency for illegal aliens already here.
For the last 2 years, John McCain and Ted Kennedy were the key leaders trying to ram a path to citizenship for millions of illegal aliens through Congress.
Sen. McCain claims it is not amnesty to give illegal aliens U.S. citizenship if they have to pay a fine and learn English. Whatever he chooses to call it, allowing illegal aliens to keep the very things they broke the law to obtain – U.S. residency and an American job – is an incredibly generous reward for violating the rule of law.
After his leadership for amnesties caused his Presidential campaign to collapse last spring, McCain said he “got the message” from the voters and no longer pushes rewarding illegal aliens ahead of everything else. He says he wants to secure our borders first. But he only promises to make 2 million of the 12-20 million illegal aliens go home.
Bottom line: McCain has the worst Republican platform for ending future illegal immigration.
McInsane would be worse than Bob Dole and give us another Clinton.
Or worse...Obama.
Boy this candidate is really racking up the dems huh.....
I will stay home rather than vote for this RINO...
I bet a week after Bush leaves office, people are going to wish he was back, compared to what we have to select....
I will never vote for McCain.
From an email I received:
Does McCain agree with this? Has he offered Hernandez, a former high-level foreign government official who presumably swore an oath to uphold the Mexican constitution, a place in a future McCain Administration? That’s not a rhetorical question.” http://welcome-vote-2008.blogspot.com/2007/11/fiestas-mccain.html

A Talk With Mexico’s Migration Chief Juan Hernández emerges as the architect of new Mexico-U.S. relations
Now, this SHOULD be the end of McCain’s campaign. HERE’S YOUR SMOKING GUN, AMERICA. HERE’S YOUR NORTH AMERICAN UNION. Here’s your ‘WAR HERO”, who teamed up with Ted Kennedy to shove amnesty down America’s throats, who is STILL THE OPEN BORDERS PHONY WE’VE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT. Is THIS what you want, America? Is THIS what you want, American veterans and Republican Kool-Aid drinkers. JOHN MCCAIN IS A DISGRACE. JOHN MCCAIN SHOULD QUIT NOW!

“Actually, this is more like transnationalism. A reader alerted me to the fact that McCain’s “Hispanic Outreach Director” is the same guy who held that job for Mexico’s President Vicente Fox! U.S.-born dual citizen Juan Hernandez was in Fox’s cabinet as Director of the Office for Mexicans Living Abroad and is notorious for having said of Mexican Americans on Nightline on June 7, 2001, “I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think ‘Mexico first.’”
More of little "I'm not for amnesty and anyone that sez so is a LIAR" johnny!
AGGGGHHRRRRR!
"It's not amnesty, it's earned citizenship. That's what it is."
-- John McCain on ABC, Good Morning America, 3/29/06
Romney Lashes McCain Over Washington Record
....McCain acknowledged that the immigration legislation he has sponsored ...is "dead as it is written."
As president, he would still sign such a bill, but first it would have to involve "securing the borders first and articulating those principles."

McCain's vote against barring gang members and terrorists from the US is outrageous. I do not know what is McCain's problem. Is McCain
*confused or delusional,
*corrupt - bribed or blackmailed, and/or
*does he hate this country - possible a Manchurian Candidate?
What else could it be?
Apologies to any who feel I am spamming this message on campaign threads, but it is an important message on a key vote which needs to get out.
John McCain SCREAMS AT 9/11 FSA MEMBERS FOR OPPOSING HIS BILL TO GIVE AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS
It depends on the meaning of “never” (McCain's Convenient Memory)
Only a complete fool would vote for McCain.
Fox news babbling out their typical “we all like McCain” garbage this afternoon, plus giving McCain free time to lie.
I hope people do not listen to Fox prior to their primary.
McCain’s got a serious personality/anger problem.
