President-elect Barack Obama and his former general election rival, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz), have come to an agreement on immigration, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid told the Detroit Free Press in a recent interview. Reid said the two standard-bearers have agreed to move forward on immigration legislation during Obama's White House tenure. "On immigration, there's been an agreement between Obama and McCain to move forward on that," Reidsaid when how Congress would handle immigration and healthcare with expanded Democratic majorities and Obama in the White House. Early on in their general election campaign, both McCain and Obama pledged to enact sweeping immigration reforms. McCain attempted to pass a massive immigration bill during the last Congress, forging alliances with such heavyweights as Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and President Bush. McCain proposed granting a pathway to citizenship for illegal resident aliens and ramping up security efforts along the U.S./Mexico border. The effort failed. When asked if immigration reform would cause "as much of a fight" in Congress the next time it comes up, Reid cited McCain as a key GOP ally who could enable Democrats to enact reforms. "We've got McCain and we've got a few others. I don't expect much of a fight at all," Reid said. The Detroit Free Press posted Reid's interview to its website Sunday.

The final surrender of American sovereignty to Mexico. If we were going to surrender to someone, why couldn’t it have been to a country that at least has some accomplishments in its resume, instead of to a third-world toilet populated by miscreants like Mexico?
We are going to get over 15 million invaders declared fellow countrymen.
It galls me to no end.
That in and of itself is an amazing statement.
That the American people have to engage Congress to protect our Nation's security and sovereignty is quite telling.

You are correct. However, he did sign gov't healthcare into law. That is enough to disqualify him.

The RNC helped the Left route the primaries to the liberal states and open primary states first just for this reason.
The pervert marriage thing didn’t work out for them, but either way, the country has been betrayed.
Big deal! Bush/McCain/Reid were in agreement and it didn’t pass.
