We oppose amnesty. The rule of law suffers if government policies encourage or reward illegal activity. The American people’s rejection of en masse legalizations is especially appropriate given the federal government’s past failures to enforce the law.

“I’m guessing you didn’t have the religious experience so many others seem to have had last night? LOL”

LOL indeed. I’m seeing it in my friends. All of sudden McCain is the greatest gift God has given our country.

We've seen it all this in the past.

Pretty soon they'll have threads worshiping these politicians, and anyone questioning anything will be attacked and labeled a troll.

lol...It's like a bad movie that never ends.

Yeah I’m thinking pod people myself. These are the same people who laugh about Obama being treated as some sort of messiah.

Gonna be real interesting around here when reality sets in.

>>I believe that the NAU agenda will make illegal immigration a thing of the past and with it (NAU) will go our government as we know it...like the EU, making us beholden to a whole system of laws much different than what our constitution dictates.<<

That would do it. I hope you are wrong, I don’t know.

>>Sarah, or no Sarah, I’m not voting for either candidate.<<

I wish McCain would understand how destructive his “comprehensive immigration reform” is. I don’t have to make up my mind about voting now. Neither ticket is really what I want.

JOHN MCCAIN WAS MAY HAVE BEEN A P.O.W. IN HANOI, BUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION WAS M.I.A. IN MINNEAPOLIS

Sorry to keep harping on this "single issue" folks, the "single issue" of our country being destroyed polito-demographically through massive AMNESTY coming our way next year. Sarah or no Sarah.

I suspect, because McCain ALWAYS uses this scenario as an excuse,he will want that EVERY illegal alien should be given amnesty because a small percentage of non-citizens are in our military.

It’s amazing to me that folks actually believe his V.P. choice suddenly changes all that.

“Passions fly on immigration, but I don’t know anyone who benefits when a mother is separated from her infant child or an employer undercuts American wages by hiring illegal workers.” So it looks like six of one or a half-dozen of another, with a difference being that at least he uses the word “illegal”.

Yeah, the great orator couldn't even take a definative stand on that issue.

[Netizen]

After I heard McCain praise migrant workers and their kids last night, while in the next breath McCain promises to retrain Americans that have lost their jobs..

Yes, people are losing their jobs due to the influx of illegals. I guess he wants them retrained so that they can ask 'do you want fried with that' in spanish.

[Netizen]

50 years from now, I hope we don't have a country in which workers lack the technical skills to compete in the world economy, and lack the skills needed for our own defense.

Defense? Why worry about defense when we are going to be annexed by Mexico. /sarcasm

Bingo! We have a winner! McCain sets the agenda for his administration, not Palin. She has to cede to a majority of his positions if she wants to remain as a voice to be heard. It's amazing how so many have convinced themselves to the contrary.

And we are not at all sure what her current position on immigration is.

[Rastus]

Even if I loved his message—which I don’t—I thought it was a terrible performance. He undercut any good she did him, though I will say the part of her speech where she started lavishing praise on McCain made me puke in my mouth.

[Man50D]

And we are not at all sure what her current position on immigration is.

As well for other issues but we do know McCain supports amnesty for illegals and Palin is his running mate making it at least possible she agrees with him.

That's right. He actually hurts her and the ticket.
