But immigration is still a critical issue throughout the state, where 83 percent of all voters say they favor some kind of amnesty, if certain rules are followed.

I guess ‘unbiased’ reporter, Julia Prodis Sulek, just forgot to give us the source of that poll, but I believe her. Don‘t you?

Among GOP voters, ire over illegal immigration

The RINO we elected doesn't care about our ire, neither will the RINO we're about to elect.

I’m starting to believe it. Why then, would any Republican vote for McCain?

I guess I'm part of the "fringe" 17% that believes immigration reform does not include rewarding criminals with citizenship.

Too many idiots voting for electability over principle.

I hate to say it (OK, I say it all the time) but 90% of the voting public treats voting like American Idol. More recognize McCain's name, therefore they vote for him. (No, I do not endorse him, nor support him.)

Down to four, on this issue, none of them want to rock the CA, AZ, and until yesterday, FL and a few other states’ boats to lose votes. Will it change for the general election?

If there was another America discovered, I’d be there. Or maybe there’s a way to make money off of their stupidity, I own some land, maybe I can sell carbon credits.

It ain’t rocket science...

Secure the border; build the fence like we asked.
Deport illegals.
Prosecute employers who use illegals.
Cut funding to so called sanctuary cities.
Redefine ‘anchor baby’ to mean one born to non citizens in the US LEGALLY.
Refuse welfare and medical coverage to illegals.
Tell the Mexican government to fix its own problems, starting at the top of their corrupt system.

Don’t worry, all is well. Republican voters have chosen four front-runner candidates who have no record of taking real action to secure our borders.

If they crow about funding, I’d much rather pay for the fence than fund Aids at this point.

Why vote for any of them?

They’re all OBL’ers.

This next president will be the one that puts together the NAU. They don’t plan to reform immigration except by eliminating the border completely.

The elites of both parties seem determined to turn the US into a Third World Banana republic where the rich and privileged rule over a rable of poor..with a struggling middle class subservient to their needs. If they bring in enough poor, undereducated people they will succeed.
Then throw them socialist solutions to quiet them..just like Mexico, Venezuela etc.
I keep telling my kids that this is what they will need to deal with.

John McCain Makes Mexican Con Man Top Aide

Quotes from Hernandez:

“I never knew the border as a limitation; I’d be delighted if all of us could come and go between these two marvelous countries.”

“We have recognized that the Mexican population is 100 million in Mexico and 23 million who live in the United States...We are a united nation.”

Mexican immigrants “are going to keep one foot in Mexico and are not going to assimilate.”

“We are betting that the Mexican population in the United States ...will think Mexico first.”

We though should not be surprised that John McCain would be so closely associated with someone who advocates for the invasion of the United States by Mexican nationals. after all, he himself has spent many hours working on behalf of those same invaders.

After the massive illegal alien protests of 2006, McCain made the following statement; “If such demonstrations continue, I think we will have a bill for the President to sign soon. The more debate, the more demonstrations, the more likely we will prevail.”

Under McCain’s immigration bill, even members of Mexican drug gangs would have received amnesty by simply signing a statement in which they renounce their gang affiliation; the so-called ‘background checks’ that illegal aliens would have received were only of the 24-hour variety, which reveal very little (if anything) and would have then been given a six month worker card; Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents would have traveled the country handing-out amnesty applications to suspected illegal aliens (Not kidding!), and all immigration enforcement would have ended.

We are currently in the eighth year of a U.S. President who has continuously placed the needs of foreign nationals above those of his own people, and has allowed American citizens to be placed at risk from disease, job loss, and violent crime by refusing to defend our border. We simply cannot afford to elect as President another disloyal American such as George Bush or John McCain.

To those who say they are going to stay home on next November’s election day, to those who think they can just sit by and just watch as the country goes down the raod to socialism.. You are only fooling yourselves!

The democrats will tax anything and everything... and still come up short! Do you think you job is safe? Well, think again! A $.50 a gallon tax on gasoline, a carbon tax on your electricity and natural gas that you use in your home.. that’s another $1000 a year for the average family. An end to the Bush Tax-Cuts.. that’s another $1000 increase in taxes for the average family.

When I say democrats, I’m including Jaun McCain!

If McCain or Hillary or Obama becomes President, there will be amnesty. The border will virtually disappear.
