Sen. John McCain reaffirmed his tough position on border issues at a Town Hall event Saturday in Green Valley, saying Congress should not take up comprehensive immigration reform until the U.S.-Mexico border is secure.
I will be glad to look at that situation after we get the border secure, McCain said.
What does a secure border look like? Its like a lot of other things, McCain told a reporter after the meeting. ... You know it when you see it.
McCain said the border would have to be deemed secure by local law enforcement, such as Arizona sheriffs and the governor, saying people live in a secure environment based upon a number of factors, including numbers of illegal crossings and the completion of the border fence.
In the meantime, McCain said the government should address illegal immigrants already living in the country by enforcing sanctions against employers who hire them and by bringing lawsuits against sanctuary cities that discourage enforcing federal immigration laws.
McCain said he didnt have an ideal plan for what should happen to people living in the U.S. illegally, whether they should be encouraged to leave the country, be deported, or another alternative.
I dont know, it depends on the situation, he said. If we get the border secured first we will be able to address (illegal immigrants) in a way that brings about a final solution. If we dont secure the border well keep adding on people.

McCain also showed flashes of humor saying he slept like a baby after his defeat in the 2008 presidential election.
Sleep two hours, wake up and cry. Sleep two hours, wake up and cry, he said.

"In the long term, if you alienate the Hispanics,
youll pay a heavy price. By the way,
I think the fence is least effective.
But Ill build the G****mned fence if they want it!"
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, FEB. 2007
McCain also showed flashes of humor saying he slept like a baby after his defeat in the 2008 presidential election.

You mean, right after you threw the election to Obama!
They have to go back to Mexico!
He appears to be perpetually constipated because he’s full of crap! send him to Shady Pines..
And he will continue to lie, continue to pretend to be a conservative, continue to pretend to be a Republican, Continue to pretend to be anything but an amnesty pimp... Until half an hour after the last ballot is cast in Arizona in November.
Then he will revert to his normal conservative hating, illegal alien invader loving self.
I can’t believe that ANYONE is stupid enough to fall for his lies. It isn’t like we don’t have 30 years of experience with the guy toshow us the truth.
He didn't know comprehensive reform was amnesty when he was for it the last time.
I an starting to wonder if Meghan is the brain of the family.
Retire Juan. He was pushing amnesty, along with his buddy, Teddy Kennedy, while millions of illegal aliens poured across the border. Now he’s singing his old conservative campaign song. Surely AZ voters aren’t stupid enough to fall for it again.
McCain = Amnesty King
Palin = Amnesty Queen
“I’ll give Sarah Palin credit for one thing, while McStain was busy telling us how “decent” a guy 0bama was, and how we “didn’t have to fear an 0bama Administration”, Sarah Palin was out there working her ass off tirelessly, doing all that she could to try and get the GOP ticket into the winner’s circle. She never slacked off, she never gave up, unlike McCain who never really put up much of a fight at all. “
Well, she threw all of it away since then.
No equity.
I believe that McCain didn’t want to win. When you campaign for your opponent, you don’t want to win.
Please help Texas watch her borders.
14 live cameras. Watch live and report to border patrol.
Night cams in operation.
FLUSH THE JOHN! McCain HAS to go!
(To the tune of Frankie & Johnny!)
Johnny and Teddy were Senators
On opposite sides of the aisle
They got together and drafted a bill
Guaranteed to make illegals smile
Amnesty was their game and they had no shame
Johnny and Senator Feingold
Gave campaign finance a try
But then the highest court in the land
Said the 1st amendment must apply
Gotta play by the rules now Johnny looks like a fool
Johnny and Mr. Obama
They both agree Gitmo should close
But bringing terrorists into the USA
Is a plan that we oppose
No, they dont belong and Johnnys got it all wrong
Now Johnny and Senator Lieberman
Got together on cap and trade
Anemic hands across the aisle
Gonna send the country to its grave
Its time to let him know old Johnnys gotta go
Johnny believes Global Warming
Limousine Liberals and all
Congressional junkets to Copenhagen
Everybodys havin a ball
Just ask Al Gore - Johnny knows the score
S & L Man Charlie Keating
He came to Johnny one day
Said the government boys are sniffing around
How much to make em go away?
Did Johnny take a bribe to join the Keating 5?
Now fast-forward 20 years later
Banks are in trouble again
Johnny says, Lets bail em out
Its just a trillion or maybe ten.
Lets put some wind in their sails cause theyre too big to fail.
We know theres oil in Alaska
Drilling wont cause any harm
But Johnny agrees with the tree-hugging geeks
Gas is gonna cost a leg and an arm
Johnny why cant you see whats good for you and me?
Now everyone knows about ACORN
They get lots of taxpayers dough
Prostitution rings and voter fraud
And home loans to any old schmoe
No matter ACORNs crimes Johnny thinks theyre just fine
Were tired of hearin your flip-flops
Were tired of hearin your lies
You may think were all dummies but you cant
Pull the wool over our eyes
Youre careers hit a snag - so start packin your bags
Cause Johnny, youve worn out your welcome
Its time to bid DC goodbye
Go write a book or learn to cook
And eat a little humble pie
Just ask Sheriff Joe he says you gotta go
Yeah, go Johnny, go its time to hit the road.
Good-bye
MUST SEE!! on YOU TUBE!
