After hiatus, McCain vows immigration plan again [amnesty for "God's children"]
The Boston Globe - Political Intelligence ^ | 2008-09-22 | Foon Rhee

Speaking to an Irish-American audience this morning, John McCain used his strongest language of the general election campaign to grab again the mantle of comprehensive immigration reform.

In Scranton, Pa., he vowed to push through a plan that offers a path to citizenship to illegal immigrants who pay fines and fulfill other requirements. "This nation is stronger for the infusion of fresh blood and vitality," McCain said.

How are you going to do that by enabling osamabama to become President... please be specific?

It will be one or the other. How are you going to save what is left of our sovereignty by electing McCain, when his intentions are inordinately clear here.

Ya see you seem to be suggesting McCain will secure our borders and rescue America's dying sovereignty. Is this what you're suggesting?

On the positive side, at least the Mexicans are largely Christian, and share more with our culture than the Muslims, and Hindus our state department was letting in legally.

he may gain some Hispanic votes, but he had better do some polling on how many conservatives he will lose. It may be a balancing act and I’ll bet bet he will lose more than he gains.

Sounds to me like we already have an Executive Branch that has embraced Socialism.

Come on now...are you really suggesting the remedy is Obama?

We would certainly get Amnesty with Obama or Hillary, so you might as well vote McCain for the other issues.

We don't get amnesty, and a continued rapid erosion of our sovereignty with McCain?

McCain isn’t the one that opened the border or failed to enforce immigration laws.

Yes, he is. He pushed for amnesty which acted as an invitation to come. He fought for "reform" which gives the illegals a reason to stay.

He has, as a U.S. Senator, given every reason for illegals to come and stay. He has never, as a U.S. Senator, spoken out against them. It's the same as telling them to come.

He's virtually traitorous on this issue.

I don’t believe Sarah will stand by quietly while the president goes off on a tangent.

It seems the argument here is boiling down to:

Well, if you vote for Obama you’ll get the same open borders and amnesty of millions, and the continued destruction of our sovereignty. The problem is, this is exactly the same thing Mr. McCain will bring us.

Since American sovereignty and the security of our homeland is the most important issue...Well, we seem left with not much choice in this regard.

You do understand that the personal views of a Vice President are of no consequence and that the VP must follow and and act on all the views of the President?

Yes, of course. I also understand that there is no difference between O and McCain's position on this issue, so I will fight this battle after the election.

Unless President John McCain resigns from office, Sarah Palin will be following his directives on all matters especially when it comes to tie breaking votes in the Senate.

Palin is for show.

Well, I don't really agree with THAT statement,either.

McShamnesty's idea of immigration reform is to tell the American people to go under the bus! On this matter, he lacks a smidgen of common sense!

I am saying that I don't think ANYTHING will change on immigration... it will remain broken... and if McCain pushes Amnesty, it will still be far better than what barry will do with regards to immigration... and barry will destroy Capitalism and usher in communism wrapped in sharia cloth. "Country First" is not a slogan with me.

So typical. Go to an audience of citizens and promise a path to citizenship.

And to beat all he received a round of applause to his speech exhorting the value of his Amnesty program from the crowd.

You have every right to that opinion... but everything Palin has said and everything she has done in her past discounts your opinion.

How are you going to prevent the downfall of our Nation by taking action that will hurt McCain's chances? Be specific please. For if you deny that osamabama will cause more damage to America than McCain/Palin... you have no credibility when it comes to preserving our Nation.

The terrorist hijackers exploited our own security systems and laws to obtain government identification cards, board the airplanes, procure materials for their insidious plots, and transfer money into the United States. Aside from the part about boarding airplanes, they breached the same systems that illegal aliens are working.

Good point. Compounded by the fact that thousands of unknowns from enemy countries could have easily entered this country in the past 7 years or so, along with millions of the other unknowns. This occurred during war?

How is this possible? Where was our national security?

This fact is not even debatable.

Security of our borders, and American sovereignty should be priority #1. But it is clearly not. Bottom line, even if our economy totally implodes, we must have a secure, and sovereign country with protected borders.

Without that, there is nothing left to protect.

The VP may voice his or her opinions but will always act in accordance with the President’s wishes when it comes down to acting on policy or casting a tie breaking vote in the Senate.

You actually believe that a Vice President would cast a tie breaking vote in the Senate that is contrary to the directive given to him or her by the President?

Do you think Governor Palin would give up her governorship so that she could become a doormat?
