We will look fondly back on GWB's and Chertoff's 'tough' border plans when we get a new prez in Jan. 09.

If McCain would keep his mouth shut he would win this thing in a landslide.

I knew he could not let “cinco de mayo” go by without this kind of crawfish act .

Pissant...THIS is why it is IMPERATIVE that we elect those on a more local level that will do our true will. We can win our country back. We showed them we meant business before, and we can do it again.

Let's Roll!

comprehensive immigration = let’em all in

[DuncanWaring]

The need for workers from outside the nation is likely to increase as the "bubble" of the baby boom generation passes into retirement and there are fewer available American workers to replace them.

The "bubble" of the boomers is generally skilled labor.

Immigrants from Mexico are generally unskilled and illiterate.

They're gonna fill in for us?

That'll be the day.

McCain courts Hispanic voters

John McCain said Monday the tenor of the immigration debate has hurt the way Hispanic voters view the Republican Party. "I believe the majority of Hispanics share our view that the border must be secured, and the border must be secured first," McCain said in Phoenix, Arizona. "But they also want us to have an attitude which I think most Americans do, that these are God's children and they must be taken care of." The senator from Arizona used Cinco de Mayo as a launching pad for a new Spanish-language Web site on Monday, and he emphasized his stance...

True ...but those with egos the size of Montana have a hard time doing so.

Any one of the three liberals will screw this country bigtime with regards to amnesty.I hope everyone knows just how screwed we all will be.Man,I despise rinos even more than the commies.

McCain is what we get when people vote out of fear. First it’s get behind Rudy because he can win. Then it’s Mitt. We need to use our heads next time and start grooming a real candidate for 2012. Especially if McCain wins ‘08 and wants a second term.

What will he tell La Raza? No mas?

[freedomfiter2]

We were pleased to see that McCain continues to believe, as we do, that immigration and border security are federal issues and not state issues.

They are not issues they are responsibilities. The Federal government is constitutionally obligated to establish immigration law, and punish/deport the lawbreakers.

Tomorrow I vote for Barrack.
Next fall, I stay home.

Go to hell, McInsane.

McCain says he got the message; Border enforcement first, but after that, let everybody and all their kin in.

[Haddit]

300 Million people and not one conservative leader to step up to the plate and lead us.

[pissant]

His bill would have given amnesty to all except those aliens prosecuted for other crimes. Meaning 12 to 20 million get a stay in US free card. Then they would have chain migration rights to family. Uhg.

[pissant]

I tried my damndest to get the father of border enforcement nominated. He also was the best on military matters, US sovereignty, and trade policy, but he wasn’t a rich celebrity candidate, so it went nowhere.

I think you are lost and confused.

This is a conservative site first, and then possibly a GOP site if the GOP is backing conservative issues.

Amnesty, especially in this case, is rewarding criminals (who have committed multiple felonies) with the greatest of awards, US Citizenship.

If you are for this, you are on the wrong site.

Try either DailyKos, DU, or a progressive GOP site.

You aren't going to convince anyone to reward lawbreakrs here.
