John McCain Leads Liberal Republican Attacks On Scott Walker’s Immigration Stance

"Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has clearly awakened the Washington establishment beast.

Not only is the liberal media and establishment right-of-center coming out guns-a-blazing at Walker over his pro-American worker position on legal immigration, but now Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)—the most pro-amnesty Republican there is, someone who worked for years with the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) on immigration—is leading a charge against Walker’s new position.

“I think most statistics show that they fill part of the workforce that are much needed. We have, and I’m a living example of, the aging population. We need these people in the workforce legally,” McCain said when asked about Walker’s position by mainstream media reporters, according to the openly liberal Talking Points Memo’s Sahil Kapur.

“I do,” McCain added when asked if he worries Walker’s position makes the GOP look “anti-immigrant.”

“I do,” McCain said:

And I think that one of the biggest mistakes that Mitt Romney made in his campaign was his comment about “self-deport[ation].” Look, the reality is we are losing the support of the Hispanic community. The reality is the fastest growing part of our population in America is the Hispanic community. We need to address the issue. And we need to do it in a constructive fashion, or we do not win the 2016 election. I can’t be more specific.

McCain is likely to face a primary challenge from either Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ) or state Sen. Kelli Ward due to the fact he’s abandoned conservative principles on so many major issues—immigration chief among them."......

He would know about not winning a presidential campaign, even with a vibrant, exciting and base-pleasing running mate.

June 2013: "Teacher trafficking The strange saga of Filipino workers, American schools, and H-1B visas"

".............How it will affect the Filipino teacher pipeline remains unclear. It’s been a lucrative business since 2001, when a California-based agency supplied some of the first Filipino teachers to Boston Public Schools. They were considered so important that the late Senator Ted Kennedy intervened to get their visas before the school year began.

Since then, more than 60,000 H-1B visas have been approved for school teachers, according to US Citizenship and Immigration Services data. There are 600 Filipino teachers who paid up to $8,000 each in fees to work in Baltimore schools. In El Paso, two school administrators were sentenced to probation for their role in a human trafficking case in which 273 Filipinos paid $10,000 apiece for teaching jobs, but arrived to find fewer than 100 positions available."..........

Matt McSalmon is no good.

We need someone generic like Kelli Ward.

Next question: Does anyone care what McCain thinks?
