Neither Obama, nor McCain are going to improve the illegal immigration issue, but one of those two will be President. At least we have leverage with McCain, just as we had leverage with Bush over Meyers and Amnesty. The responsibility is back in our hands.
It wasn't leverage over Bush - it was over the Republican congressmen. McCain is so proud of being a maverick, he'll slap conservatism in the face (as he's always done) and be proud of it.
Republican congressmen will be more likely to oppose a Dem president than their own. No doubt.

Especially in the Senate. The GOP Senators will play kissyfoote with McCain. He will get Amnesty. They might just fight Obama out of sheer political calculations, but not McCain.
