Smart, too.
I'll second that. The anti-McCain contingent on Free Republic lambastes him mainly because of his support last year for a limited amnesty for illegal aliens. Obviously, many of these FReepers don't live out West, like McCain and I do. You'd almost HAVE to have some sort of amnesty for the illegals already here, or else my city and hundreds of others would be spending all their time and limited cash rounding up kitchen staffs and grounds workers and ranch hands and loading them onto buses for the trip back home.
We ain't got that much civic green, and since our cities don't have an army of federal immigration people ready to do the job, it would fall to our local cops and our deputies, who are already overworked enough with our usual crooks and meth heads.
McCain's plan -- close the borders good and then figure out how to deal with those already here -- is about the only one that works when reality is factored into the equation.
That is, of course, never a plan that appeals to the terminally pissed-off.
Seriously folks, I think I need a shower. MSNBC is never very good, but the slathering and slobbering there is nauseating. You can tell these guys are in their element- they’re downright giddy. I can’t ever remember them being so bad. It’s embarrassing.
