John McCain claims he “never supported amnesty” (LIAR!)

Fox News reporter Jennifer Steinhauser recently spent a few days following Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) around Arizona, on his re-election campaign. Not surprisingly, the topic which voters continue to hound the Senator on is that of illegal immigration.

During a town hall meeting at a North Scottsdale library, a man named Richard Martin railed against McCain, saying: “We all know what happened after 9/11. Why didn’t you close this border down? Where were you, Senator?”

Steinhauser reports that over the three days she spent with the McCain campaign, the most commonly asked question was why he supported amnesty for illegal aliens.

McCain’s answer…“I never supported amnesty.”

WHAT?

As one of the keynote speakers at the 2004 conference, he told the zealous crowd: "It is in our national interest to bring the 8 to 12 million undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and allow them an opportunity to become citizens of this great nation."

Of course, McCain has not only supported amnesty, he wrote the Amnesty bill!

The 2007 McCain-Kennedy Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty bill would have merely required illegal aliens to pay a $5,000 fee in order to stay here and gain legal residency. The fact is that McCain places the same value on American citizenship, at roughly the same cost as a 2003 Volkswagen.

Under McCain's bill, even members of Mexican drug gangs would have received amnesty by simply signing a statement in which they renounced their gang affiliation, the so-called 'background checks' that illegal aliens would have received were only of the 24-hour variety, which reveal very little (if anything), and they would have then been given a six-month worker card. Even violent members of MS-13 would be given legal status based on nothing but their promise to become upstanding citizens.

In 2008, Republican Presidential candidate John McCain told the crowd at annual National La Raza Conference: “I don’t want to fail again to achieve comprehensive immigration reform.”

Of course, “comprehensive immigration reform” is nothing more than code for amnesty for illegal aliens.

After the massive illegal alien protests in 2006, in which millions of law-breakers demanded their ‘rights’ and trampled upon American flags, McCain made the following statement: “If such demonstrations continue, I think we will have a bill for the President to sign soon. The more debate, the more demonstrations, the more likely we will prevail.”

John McCain has spent the last quarter-century in Washington D.C., and for many of those years, he has spent his time working on behalf of illegal aliens and the unscrupulous companies which hire them. He has also sat by and watched as thousands of Americans were murdered, raped, and robbed by those same illegal aliens.

It is only since J.D. Hayworth began gaining ground in his primary challenge to McCain, that the Senator started taking a supposed tough stance on border security.

Until he loses the Arizona Republican primary on August 24, McCain will continue to pretend that he is a tough conservative. However, as much as he would like to, he cannot hide from his own record on illegal immigration.

Hey McCain! Call it a banana if you want to but you are a GD liar!

[sickoflibs]

He supports amnesty now. He calls it ‘path to citizenship’. He just said it again recently.

[Dante3]

What a blatant lie - unless he is delusional. He sounds like a sociopath. He has also previously told incredible lies and was caught on tape.

McCain’s answer…“I never supported amnesty.”

Just the same old shameless, lying word game Juan's been playing for years on this issue. And the same one W Bush and others played.

As long as the illegal aliens pay some penalty, it's not amnesty, they tell us. If they pay a fine and do fifty push-ups and fifty set-ups, then it's not amnesty. So what if they're also given US citizenship, a prize millions around the world want, but will never be able to obtain, even legally.

Will Arizona continue to subject the entire nation to this contemptible character?

.....McCain claims he “never supported amnesty”....

EVEN WORSE McCain sponsored the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005. (Sec. 1004. BINATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE AND HEALTH INSURANCE). NOT INTENDED to improve health care in the United States, but to improve health care in MEXICO. Contained a provision giving US insurance companies the right to help devise a plan for extending US health care to Mexico.

===============================================

AND THIS Candidate McC appointed Juan Hernandez, a high profile anti-American as his Hispanic outreach man, Hernandez announced he is for the no-borders North American Union, and for the “Amero” to replace the US dollar within 10 years or so

2008 McCains' Hispanic Outreach Coordinator, Juan Hernandez, Fort Worth, a dual citizen of the US and Mexico, and past member of Vicente Fox’s Mexican government, is as open borders as you can get.

McCain said he chose Hernandez because he agrees with his positions. Hernandez actually served as a cabinet member in the Mexican Government. McC sucked up to amnesty-pusher Hernandez (as Americans woke up to 5 million toxic mortgages fraudulently doled out to illegals that poisoned our economy forever).

McCain's Hispanic outreach director Juan Hernandez stated on national television that he is for the North American Union, and the “Amero” to replace the dollar within 10 years or so.

Hernandez believes all illegal Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the USA should become dual citizens and consider themselves Mexicans first, "to the 8th generation." Hernandez' book urges illegal alien invaders to become settlers in the USA for Reconquista---the Mexican plan to take back the SW.

========================================

Hernandez actually served as a cabinet member in the Mexican Government. Juan Hernandez was born in Dallas and decided as an adult to become a dual-national Mexican citizen. His last verifiable job was serving in Mexican President Vicente Fox's cabinet as Vicente Fox's "American Reconquista Director." Hernandez then worked for Bush hater George Soros' international foundations---(one such foundation published Hernendez's book that taunts Americans).

Amnesty was kind of his signature effort, no?

[longtermmemmory]

McCain defines “amnesty” as no path to citizenship. Paying a fine is not amnesty is mccain’s delusions.

[Robbin]

Godspeed, JD Hayworth.

In fact, this is cause for another $100 donation to his campaign.

I’m with you, will donate again tonight when I get home from work... McCain MUST GO...

[Tennessee Nana]

Well actually this is true...

John McCain never had a supporting role in “The AMESTY Bill”

He and Ted Kennedy were the co-stars...

[Tennessee Nana]

Whoop

“The AMNESTY Bill”

[longtermmemmory]

Hernandez is the slime who says english is not needed to unify the USA.

[DoughtyOne]

McCain is as devious a person as I have ever seen.

He actually pushes Reagan under the bus for two million (it actually turned out to be 3.5, when Reagan was assured it would only be 1.0 million), but McCain actually pushed for “pathway to citizenship” for 20 to 35 million illegals.

Oh, but of course, it wasn’t an amnesty when MeCain did it. Although these people couldn’t afford their own health care, and lived in poverty, he was convinced they could pay thousands of dollars in fines for each family member here illegally. That actually made sense to him.

I don’t trust this guy at all.

McCain’s answer…“I never supported amnesty.”

Oh, but you lie ..... my friend.

[DoughtyOne]

If you knew nothing else, the Juan Hernandez/McCain relationship would convince you that McCain was unfit to hold public office in the United States.

[freespirited]

It’s not shamnesty in his mind because they’d have to jump through a couple of hoops. You know, like fill out an application ...

[bmwcyle]

McCain, YOU LIE!

.. and obammy isn’t a communist /s
