McCain is right. The border does need to be secured first and despite all the hate directed at him Chertoff has done a good job in building the fence. There is a need for a temporary worker program. Not amnesty, but a temporary worker program.

Activist patriot Rosanna Pulido, who many of us know and love as ‘Chicagolady’ , being hispanic, was invited to one such event in Chicago this week. In an interview with AP, she states,
“He’s one John McCain in front of white Republicans. And he’s a different John McCain in front of Hispanics,” complained Rosanna Pulido, a Hispanic and conservative Republican who attended the meeting.......He’s having his private meetings to rally Hispanics and to tell them what they want to hear,” she said. “I’m outraged that he would reach out to me as a Hispanic but not as a conservative.”
Pulido, who heads the Illinois Minuteman Project, which advocates for restrictive immigration laws, said she thought McCain was “pandering to the crowd” by emphasizing immigration reform in his 15-minute speech.
The Article also states, “ After the event, McCain met privately with Martin Sandoval, an Illinois state senator and Democratic convention delegate for former candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. Sandoval said he left open the possibility of backing McCain, citing his immigration stance and pledge to keep business taxes low.”

John McCain’s bumpersticker: Honk If You Want Amnesty for Jesús
Only if we(conservatives) let him... with Obama, we won't stand a chance. Remember... all those calls that overloaded Congress's phone lines(McCain/Kennedy Amnesty Bill) weren't just from us. A lot of RAT's and Independents chimed in as well.
And I’m going to keep my promise to NOT support this sorry RINO turd, Juan McLame.
This is playing out like a cross between a MASH , Catch-22 and Sad Sack script when we need a Rambo, Mr. Smith and John Wayne one.
Here we go again...
The general election in November has become no more than Democrat primary run-off between anti-war Democrat in Obama and pro-war Democrat in McCain.
“Juan McCain is gonna kill the GOP.”
Bush Sr - got the gun, Bush Jr. put the bullets in it, and McCain will definitely fire it. If we elect McCain the GOP will be destroyed for decades. He is not the lesser of two evils - he is evil plain and simple. He is far more dangerous than Obama for the simple reason that he will push the GOP to the far left.
The "winner" had better take a vacation before January's swearing in.
I've got a feeling he is going to need it for the coming four years.
The GOP has been in its death throes for quite some time. Juan will only hasten its end. And to be quite honest not a tear will be shed by this (little “r”) republican!
George W. Bush beat him to it.
A new comprhensive reform ?
Just wait and see after the elections.
First beat Oubama
How can you kill something that's already dead? The GOP's heart stopped about the time Dennis Hastert took over as House Speaker. That was a clear flatline signal.
Well mccain can bring it up but as long as we elect enough GOP Senators back like last time it won’t go anywhere. It’s just that after eight years of beating back amnesty attempts how many times do you have to tell these clowns NO?
Comprehensive Immigration reform.
First close the border.
