I'm not going to take Arianna Huffington's word for it. She should produce a more credible witness.
“I’ll believe him when he admits that McCain-Kennedy was Amnesty. “
Good point! Not going to happen though.
April, 2006 SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R), ARIZONA: “ My friends, I’ll offer anybody here $50 an hour if you’ll go pick lettuce in Yuma this season and pick for whole season. So — OK? Sign up. OK.

Another McCAin amnesty lie....as we found out, none of this was going to happen in his bill.
“Anything short of rounding up 12 million people and deporting them is called amnesty by the opponents of this legislation,” he said. “I’ll point out that (illegal immigrants) will have to pay back taxes, they’ll have to pay a fine, they’ll have to go back to their country of origin, and it’s at least 15 years before they are in anyway eligible for citizenship.”
