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.
McCain fails to answer how he will address the 15 to 30 million illegals already here. That is the real issue.

" Ole, amigos, let's go have a horchata and a churros in the Senate tacoteria....Viva Mexico."
He used the word “immigration” or “immigrant” 7 times.
The word “illegal” in conjunction with “immigrant” exactly ZERO times.
Why?
Ouch...that’s gonna leave a mark. LOL.
He skirts the issue of the illegals already here; he doesn’t want to talk about that ‘cause he’s going to make sure they all stay here draining our resources.
“Would it be possible to make how McCain has staked himself out on this to WORK FOR US and possibly get MOST or ALL WE WANT on this issue?”
The only way to do that would be for him to get elected and to solve the problem, AND NOT BY WAVING HIS MAGIC RINO WAND and making them all citizens!
Because at this point, we have no reason on earth to trust him and his own history of backstabbery (is that even a word) showing us why. Now should he get elected (without my vote) AND do what needs to be done (NOT amnesty, NO path to citizenship) on the ILLEGAL Immigration issue THEN and ONLY THEN will I consider voting for his re-election in 2012....assuming he makes it that long.
Besides in a moment of McCain speaking the truth he called himself a LIBERAL republican, well he should have run as Kerry’s running mate and stayed a democrat.
Maybe he can get Sen. Clinton as his VP?
You notice how, when reading this, McCain actually shifts away from actually talking about any details involving both border security (How will you exactly secure our borders, John McCain?) and immigration reform (Lets “get along” with Mexico and all other Latin American countries who really are anti-Chavez as well as say just positive things about all immigrants here in the U.S.-both legal and illegal-without actually talking in detail about all of the problems that illegal immigrants truly create throughout the U.S. as well as not talking about all of the decent ways of successfully resolving all of the problems throughout the U.S. as they are related to illegal immigration.)
This has always irked me. What *is* the number in our country illegally? Hillary mentioned 12 million recently, and other liberals become quite 'conservative' in their estimates whenever the subject comes up. Why zat?
Some dictionary work needed. The word “reform” is widely used to conceal noxious changes. Immigration “deform” is more likely to be the result of new rewards for illegal behavior.
Thank you.
Ain't that sweet?
Sen. McCain has no problem passing policy that puts U.S. citizens out of work as long as he offers another social re-education program to train "displaced" workers. I'm sure U.S. citizens who were previously meat-cutters and construction workers are happy to become call-center operators competing with wage rates of India.
"Undermine US national security. Vote for McCain."

Not that McCain himself has any.
And let's not forget to (ahem) "think" about this:
When anyone asks him about amnesty at campaign stops, Juan has the questioner ejected.
We gotta get that on a tee shirt.
“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.”
He is talking about amnesty or Z visas here. When an open borders person talks about “labor mobility” or “flexible labor” that’s code words for amnesty. Additionally, McCain has embraced the elitist, anti-Average American discourse. Notice how he says “skilled” Americans. The latest immigration bills are all couched in demeaning so-called “unskilled” jobs as ripe for wage deflation via insourcing people from beyond our borders.
Just saying, if you know their lingo, and how they rationalize things, as McCain does here, you will see just how bad, even evil, they are. McCain’s posting here are not “moderation” but show that he really is one of the worst.

CNN’s televised presidential debates highlighted the chasm between the two parties on this issue. When Wolf Blitzer asked all the Democratic candidates “to raise your hand ... if you believe English should be the official language of the United States,” only Mike Gravel held up his hand.
A few nights later at the Republican presidential debate, Blitzer asked any candidate to speak up “who doesn’t believe English should be the official language of the United States.” Only John McCain spoke, hedging his reply by talking about the sovereignty of American Indians in Arizona.
Blitzer followed up with the question “is there anyone else who stands with Senator McCain specifically on that question?” No Republican candidate responded.
