>Now about those borders, President McCain...

My take is that about the only thing that he will take from Bush is:
see you at the signing

“My take is that about the only thing that he will take from Bush is:

The probability of Bush or McCain signing the bill is equal. zero.

the pro-amnesty crowd couldnt get the turkey out of the senate in 2006 nor 2007, nor will they in 2009 or beyond.

THEY LOST.

Why cant they do it down the road? because enforcement is *working*. Check out Oklahoma. As the fence goes up, and the towns get cleared out, people realize. We dont need a grand amnesty. that was a surrender. Instead, we can eliminate ilegal immigration the right way - border security, law enforcement, and ‘attrition’.

At some point, there will have to be a ‘grand fix’ to immigration, but anything that is ‘amnesty’ will be radioactive. Instead, they will need to get some worker visa increases so eliminating illegal immigration doesnt crater business, but it wont be open-ended.

McCain’s survival is the exception that makes the rule. candidates have gotten killed over their wrong position on immigration (Spitzer/Hillary for example). The new Democrats (blue dogs) coming in are decidedly wary of being tagged pro-amnesty and the GOP caucus has turned as well.

Take this as JMHO prognostication. I think the political tide is going out on amnesty and it wont come back. McCain himself has said as much.
