Washington, D.C. In advance to the Homeland Security field hearing on border security in Phoenix on Monday, April 20, 2009, U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) made the following statement:
The unfortunate reality is our Southwest border remains unsafe due to the drug cartels, and now more than ever, we must focus first and foremost on securing our borders, said Senator John McCain.
The current plan being developed by the Administration and organized labor calls for immigration reform that does not adequately address either securing the border or a legal temporary worker program and is a plan I cannot support, continued McCain. We need to act on the pressing issue of border security now, and then seek comprehensive immigration legislation that includes a temporary worker program. Any legislation that does not address these two key components is not real reform.
I look forward to gathering all the facts from witnesses including the Arizona Governor, the Arizona Attorney General, mayors, and sheriffs on how to successfully secure our borders and reduce the increasing violence currently spilling across our border into Arizona and all across the Southwest.

Unemployment is at its highest in 30 years & this backstabber wants to bring in millions to compete with Americans for jobs. Pelosi, Reid & Obama are all for this too.
As Glen Beck said “Why dont you just set us on fire”?
Our government is no longer loyal to its people!

How's this for comprehensive.
1). If you don't have a visa, stay the hell out of this country.
2). Complete the fence
3). If found in this country illegally the first time, deport to country of origin. Country of origin pays the actual cost of capture/return. If they refuse, cut off ALL FINANCIAL AIDE
4). If found in this country illegally a second time, imprisonment for ten years. All prisoners would be required to work off the cost of the detainment - building the fence; building more prison space; doing other useful things for our country.
5) Three strikes and you executed. If found in this country illegally a third time, death sentence.

6. Build two six-foot high chainlink fences. One on the border, one one hundred yards or so north of the border. In between is a free-fire zone. Public welcome.

John has swallowed the liberal kool-aid long ago on immigration and global warming.
I wish he would leave for an extended stay at a "place with no zip code".
