McCain Back Peddles On Border Enforcement?

Remember when he said “The lesson is they want the borders secured first.” That was then. This is now.

“Unless we enact comprehensive immigration reform I don’t think you can take it piecemeal,” he explained Monday, answering a question about providing visas for skilled workers.

“In other words,” he said, “because as soon you and I start to talk about the highly skilled workers, our agricultural interest people are going to say, ‘Look we need ag workers, too.’ And then somebody’s going say, 'We need the DREAM Act,' and then somebody’s going to say, 'We’ve got to enforce our border.'”

“We get in this kind of a circular firing squad on immigration reform in the Congress of the United States," McCain said, "and the lesson I learned from it is we’ve got to have comprehensive immigration reform.

A slanderous statement if there ever was one.

Right! If you were watching Fox News they showed pictures of them when Hillary was speaking and used one of those little ‘circles of light’ on Bill’s face.

Brit made somewhat the same comment you did but then said he is probably tired, lol

Sure if you want an anti-American Ron Paul clone with zero chance of getting 1% of the vote.

$10 each “Buy It Now” on eBay

Wearing those in November would change results more than you can imagine

Are you certain that they would allow you to wear that into a voting place?

Should be ok although it certainly would be disruptive , especially if you had a small notepad and pen in your hand,,, after all ICE isn’t a political group ,,, they wouldn’t dare stop you if you were wearing a ballcap from USPS.

You would rather have one of the three socialists who supports globalism and amnesty?

I called it the “Globalist Amnesty and Mexico Ass-Kissing Act of 2007” over at Town hall last year. That post didn’t last long

One freeper suggested that McCain should be referred to as The Mexican Candidate instead of the Manchurian Candidate.

Thank you Neidermeyer, devolve told me that on another thread too.

Since ICE is the largest investigative branch of the Department of Homeland Security, it would be pretty disconcerting to have ‘them’ appear. Even more so than a Police officer or a Sheriff I think.

Add a cellphone/camera and a mini-tape recorder to your “toolkit” when voting

Those are not illegal either and would provide irrefutable evidence of poll worker bias and denial of your right to vote - and provide a basis for a civil lawsuit against the state, the poll worker(s), and the political party that behind any shenanigans

Sean Hannity would air the video &or audio that night on Hannity & Colmes and Rush & Sean would air it on their radio shows the next day!

That’s something else I wasn’t sure of, if you could take a camera into a voting spot. BUT, with camera phones in everyone’s pockets nowadays, it makes it much harder to get away with things.

Official poll workers would be required to produce an actual state statute to prevent a US citizen from carrying &/or using a cellphone/camera &/or a mini-audiotape recorded into a polling place

The best thing to do is also to enter with a group who can be depended on to be your witnesses

The current illegal intimidation and threats by the Ohio Attorney General (his staff has just been caught in a number of sexual harassment lawsuits!) and Indiana and other political hacks of criminal felony fraud

But do you ever hear of them prosecuting illegal aliens who have voted illegally? Or ex-cons? Or minorities who vote 108% of the total registered voters in a precinct? Or NJ, NY, CT voters who voted in their home states and also in Florida or Arizona?

In 2000 over 25,000 New Jersey registered democrat voters also registered and voted for algore in Florida as well as New Jersey!

So I guess George W. Bush won Florida by many more than several hundred votes in 2000!

Idiots like John Kerry and Chris Matthews are all bent out of shaper over Rush Limbaugh and Operation Chaos -

But lets recall that Barack Hussein Obama (Junior!) was on live TV asking Republicans to re-register as democrats and to vote for him as “Obamicans” in the primaries

In 2000 the demorats and Independents and the MSM organized a primary campaign to push John McCain - this year they were finally successful!

That would put Obama as #1 target for a civil rights lawsuit against him first

Attempting to file charges against Rush or any Republican for “vote fraud” would result in an immediate countersuit by Rush and referral to the US Supreme Court

The democrats would never survive that and would end up with a permanent anti-civil rights stain on themselves

[Idiots like John Kerry and Chris Matthews are all bent out of shaper over Rush Limbaugh and Operation Chaos ]

There are many here who do not like it either. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I would think if many followed his ‘directions’ that Hillary would have won big in Indiana??

I warn people. I’ve been called all sorts of names on FR. I’ve called McCain a liar. I’ve pointed out his lies. I’ve pointed out his past.

We have too many on FR that have lips firmly attatched to McCain’s rear.
