McCain still has immigration on his future agenda

Hi Nord, McCain will be in San Diego to speak at the LaRaza conference 14 July.

The Republican groups here should get together where he
is speaking with signs letting him know he is peeing away his chances.

Except the significant increase in deportations these last couple of years under GWB. McCain has no plans to deport anyone who is here illegally but does not ‘break the law’ otherwise. Just like queen Rudy’s plan. Bush’s ICE is raiding businesses on a daily basis.

In fact, immigration is a key part of any discussion on the economy because foreign workers, both legal and illegal, are a key component of the country’s economic climate. 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.

you know you’re in the presence of a bimbo eruption when this kind of thing is said.

the boomers do the kinds of jobs that aren’t replaceable by illegals.

well that very reason is why I cannot stomach the man.

[television is just wrong]

they both belong in a retirement home.

"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."

Why wait until 2012? He could be replaced at the convention, and I think he should be. I'd wager that McCain didn't even get a majority of republican votes in the early primaries where other candidates were involved. I'd say they should not vote for him on the first ballot at the convention and elect another nominee on the second ballot. It CAN be done!

Sorry, I haven’t figured how to italicize quotes. I don’t mind getting slammed if someone thinks I believe in open borders.

[freedomfiter2]

I’m all for that. Any of the other candidates that ran would be an improvement.

[SoConPubbie]

My apologies freedomfiter2, it is late, and I should have waited a few seconds before posting.

[NormsRevenge]

I enjoy a good slam now and then , deserved or otherwise, around here, ya get used to it. Keeps ya on your toes. ;-)

[pissant]

start your sentence with an i sandwiched between the carrot brackets <>. I did not put the i in there because it would not have shown up, but rather italicized what I just wrote to you. End the sentence with a /i sandwiched between the carrots, followed by a p sandwiched between the carrots for a paragraph break.

If you do not put the carroted p, your next text will be right on the heels of the italicized portion, like this

holy smokes, I did not want my normal text on this text line. I wanted a space after it....

[acapesket]

Don’t waste that vote!
We all hate McCain!
If “Operation Chaos” is a success , as it appears to be.
NOTHING will be accomplished in the next 4 years!
We’ll be safer!
Vote Shrillary! For the Chaos to Continue.

[Bullish]

Juan McCain makes me enfermo!

I just watched a piece on the Phoenix news about a bunch of drunken “immigrants” who put Sheriff Arpaio’s face complete with a Sheriff’s badge on a bunch of pinatas filled with tooth rot and then had their kids beating on them. I guess they were trying to teach their offspring that if you beat a policeman with a stick, you get candy. Those kids are going to make some great “americans.” The “adults” there said that Arpaio is a “racist” for arresting people who are in this country illegally. Happy Sinko da Mayo.

I’m with your team, KoRn. Where do I sign up?

[NordP]

Please at LEAST vote for local conservative representatives. You OWE that to the rest of us who love this country.

[Tailback]

Of course he does, he is the Manchurian candidate. There is a reason why the NY Times endorsed him, why liberals voted for him in open primaries, and why the MSM loves him. The reason is that he is a freaking liberal with ties to Soros!

Good grief, the people here on FR these days absolutely amaze me.

[GATOR NAVY]

It is a little surprising that McCain is willing to step back into the buzz saw of the immigration debate...

Why would it be surprising considering the things he said about those who opposed him last summer? Only an idiot would believe he really "saw the light" about amnesty after he got his ass handed to him. McCain still knows that he knows best and you know he wants revenge too.

If he stuck to what he just said here, he’d be fine — the number of people who want to shut down temporary worker programs, while vocal, is small.

The problem isn’t tracking legal immigrants, or guest worker programs, but letting illegal immigrants stay here and get ahead of the line for citizenship over those who are waiting and obeying the law.
