This weekend, dozens of Southern Californians plan to march in Washington for immigration reform, joining thousands of activists from around the country. Today, a different group of Southern Californians – members of the L.A. Area Chamber of Commerce – heard from a U.S. senator who took a lot of political heat for his efforts at immigration reform.

The question arose at lunch during the Chamber’s annual lobbying trip to Washington. What did Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona think the U.S. should do about the “flood of immigrants” “running over” California?

McCain cosponsored the last major immigration reform bill with the late Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy. That measure died and GOP rivals criticized McCain for his efforts.

McCain told the Chamber that it now was up to President Obama to outline his immigration agenda. "He talks about immigration reform," McCain said. "I want to see his proposal! He’s the president of the United States. I’d like to see a proposal from the president of the United States and I’d like to review. So far, that has not happened."

McCain told the L.A. Chamber secure borders were important, particularly with the rise in drug violence in Mexico. But he also made the case for a temporary legal worker program using tamper-proof identification cards.

FUJM!

"In the long term, if you alienate the Hispanics,
you’ll pay a heavy price. By the way,
I think the fence is least effective.
But I’ll build the G****mned fence if they want it!"
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, FEB. 2007

"We need to sit down as Americans
and recognize these are God’s children as well.
And they need some protection under the law;
they need some of our love and compassion
I want to assure you that I’ll enforce the borders first.
We’ll solve this immigration problem."
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 28 NOV. 2007

"There are jobs that Americans will not do,
so we have to make it possible for someone to come
to this country to do a job that an American won’t do
and then go back to the country from where they came."
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 16 OCT. 2004

Just say no to Senator McCain

*Ping*!

No worries McCain, the RINOs all have your back, along with Pelosi and Obama.

Send his ugly old butt to Mexico and find the killers of our citizens...or has he even noticed!

“Analysts seem to think this is a message the killers are sending to US and foreign officials, saying that they don’t want them here - they don’t want any meddling.[snip]

Palin must feel proud actively supporting this flaming socialist.

[MNDude]

does the Chamber of Commerce really need the cheap labor anymore with the Obama economy?

Here is an example of how utterly STUPID John McCain is.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told senators it is a national security concern that people from countries with ties to terrorism could ‘potentially’ gain entry into the United States by crossing the country’s southern border.

But according to the Department of Homeland Security’s own reports, thousands of people from 14 “special interest” countries already have come into the United States illegally, including some across the U.S.-Mexico border. (The State Department designates some nations as “special interest” counties because of their links to terrorism.)

******McCain responded: “Countries of special interest – people could come up through our southern border?” [DUH!!!]

“Potentially, yes,” Napolitano said.

John McCain - the only Arizonan who can walk upright under a scorpion.

I like your spunk!

He’s a pig.

Juan McCain is as bad as Obama. The stinking RINOs campaigning for him are just as bad. Sickening.

[Theodore R.]

What hath the people of AZ wrought, to paraphrase the book of Numbers!

[Theodore R.]

I wonder if Palin’s heart is really with the AZ electorate. She would have trouble winning AZ herself were she to run for President.

McLame doesn't seem to understand that apart from illegals and the New York Times editorial board (except at election time) he doesn't have a friend in the world.

[ichabod1]

This is terrific. The illegals can have their march/riot and then they’ll meet up with the millon or so “Code Red” people marching against “healthcare”, and then there can be a freagin riot.

[GWMcClintock]

Hey John! How about you come to Texas and talk amnesty with the Americans that live on the border these days!! You ran the crappiest campaign ever, and now you’re trying to “school” us on how to think. Just shut up and retire already!

[Gene Eric]

>> Palin must feel proud actively supporting this flaming socialist.

She should be asked about her opinion of McCain’s policy and campaign positions.

[dforest]

It is absurd to think Palin is being dragged into support for McCain. Maybe she likes him.

[patriot08]

I despise the sob.
He lost the election to the Marxist/Muslim usurper when he stated, ‘Senator Obama is a fine family man. There’s no reason to be afraid of him’.
