Immigration is one of those challenging issues that touch on many aspects of American life. I have always believed that our border must be secure and that the federal government has utterly failed in its responsibility to ensure that it is secure. If we have learned anything from the recent immigration debate, it is that Americans have little trust that their government will honor a pledge to do the things necessary to make the border secure.
As president, I will secure the border. I will restore the trust Americans should have in the basic competency of their government. A secure border is an essential element of our national security. Tight border security includes not just the entry and exit of people, but also the effective screening of cargo at our ports and other points of entry.
But a secure border will contribute to addressing our immigration problem most effectively if we also:
Recognize the importance of building strong allies in Mexico and Latin America who reject the siren call of authoritarians like Hugo Chavez, support freedom and democracy, and seek strong domestic economies with abundant economic opportunities for their citizens.
Recognize the importance of pro-growth policies -- keeping government spending in check, holding down taxes, and cutting unnecessary regulatory burdens -- so American businesses can hire and pay the best.
Recognize the importance of a flexible labor market to keep employers in business and our economy on top. It should provide skilled Americans and immigrants with opportunity. Our education system should ensure skills for our younger workers, and our retraining and assistance programs for displaced workers must be modernized so they can pursue those opportunities
Recognize the importance of assimilation of our immigrant population, which includes learning English, American history and civics, and respecting the values of a democratic society.
Recognize that America will always be that "shining city upon a hill," a beacon of hope and opportunity for those seeking a better life built on hard work and optimism. Border security and our failed immigration system are more examples of an ailing Washington culture in need of reform to regain the trust of Americans. In too many areas -- from immigration and pork barrel spending to Social Security, health care, energy security and tax relief -- business-as-usual politics prevents addressing the important challenges facing our nation.
My thoughts exactly.
For a non-girlie-man you are woefully ignorant on politics.
No, you’re not on Soro’s payroll, you’re just a buffoon.
BTW, I have seen several references to McCain supporting in '06 discussions with Hamas.
More newbies trying to paint others as Dem trolls.
Tell ya what—McCain seems to think he can win by reaching out to liberals.
Why don’t you go sell your stuff at DU?
Dang that VRWC!
You're sweatin', Bobbie.
Did Air America return your tapes unopened again?

When laws are broken, somebody’s got to be punished. In the case of Cindy McCain, that somebody is Tom Golinski.
I am ignorant of politics. I just know what is right. McCain is a traitor and is intent upon replacing Americans with socialistic Mexicans. KMA.
“So, do we want to talk about winning or do we want to wallow and whine for the next 8 years?”
I know that I would much rather talk about winning....simply because the results of not doing so can very easily lead to downright sobbing....and for more than 8 years.
AFTER the border is secured, there needs to be an effective plan for dealing with those illegals who are already in the country. What conservatives have offered the best suggestions so far?
Then you sir, are an ass.
Race baiting. Nice liberal tactic.
The only one spewing such trash is YOU!
Stop giving them jobs, free healthcare, free education, do away with anchor babies, etc - for starters.
bttt
It is not very hard, unless you are trying to deceive us. Just say it. Build a wall. Imprison employers of illegals. Cut out funding of sanctuary cities and try their leaders for treason. Deport all illegals encountered. No legal status to children of illegals.
What is so hard about saying this?

“Not very many conservatives will be voting for mccain, I’ve never seen such anger so close to an election yet if you look at recent state polling mccain is beating Obama. And that’s because the liberals and independents are swinging his way, at least for the time being.”
That’s unfortunate. Perhaps they might consider using their brains rather than be controlled by emotions...particularly if the Dems run Obama and Hillary on the same ticket. There’s a lot of scuttlebutt about that already.
Bob J has flamed himself out. He is upset because he is a controller. If people don’t tow his line....well...you know..
Bob J is upset because controllers hate sticking their finger in the dyke and waiting until millions more holes spring free.
Problem with McCain is that too many people are freaked over McCain as the presumptive nominee. It is virtually impossible to shut all of us up and make us bend over and take it up the hiney for Juan.
Bob J needs to face the facts of this election and understand we ain’t all going to be one on this election.
Bob J pointed out to me that I am just a newbie here. Okay Bob, but I am a conservative and all my posts have been that of a conservative. Bob J has yet to understand that in the new world of today, McCain would agree because he is a liberal, that senority means nothing. When it comes to conservatives. Are ya, or aren’t ya?
I think you can take that back a few presidencies and throw in GHWB and Clinton. GHWB started on the environmental front with things like the "Clean Air Act." As his SOS, James Baker was even trying to push this global warming alarmism back in 1989 but they backed off.
I like this. It will take hard work but that’s what anything of value takes.
I’m certainly no stranger to communicating with my representatives and senators. ;-)
