Sen. John McCain gave a big thumbs up last night to demonstrators planning to march across the Brooklyn Bridge today in support of comprehensive immigration reform. "If such demonstrations continue, I think we will have a bill for the President to sign soon," the Arizona Republican declared at an Irish and American flag-studded town hall meeting in the Bronx sponsored by the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform.

"The more debate, the more demonstrations, the more likely we will prevail," he told more than 3,000 cheering supporters - many clad in green-and-white shirts - who packed the St. Barnabas High School auditorium in Wakefield

I'm not giving up yet.

These people need to learn that they don't represent me, or the majority of the American public.

They can put out all the phony push-polls, and stage all of the criminal marches and riots that they want.

It's not going to stop law-abiding, actual Americans from standing up and defending their rights.

I detest McCain with every fiber of my being.

[ridesthemiles]

Is the only way McVain can get elected is to pander to votes from illegal voters?
Why doesn't that jerk just get in front of the parade and march with them, showing us his true colors.????

I will NEVER vote for McVain, no matter what.

But wait - Amnesty will also help Lithuanians!!

The Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform has been set up to lobby the US government on behalf of the estimated 40,000 undocumented Irish in the US.

Deport them now!

"Guest Worker" is a lie believed by no one born earlier than yesterday. The illegals given "guest worker" status will never leave, just as illegals given full immigrant or citizenship status will never leave. Why will any ever leave? Who's going to make them? George Bush wouldn't for five years, and won't for the next three. Guest worker is just a sleazy way for our dishonest cowardly President to kick the can down the road to the next administration, while letting himself stammer about having "reformed" the problem - even though he will have massively increased the number of poor, uneducated third-world migrants in our homeland.

This from Lou Dobbs: "President Bush tells us repeatedly his guest worker program for illegal aliens will only be temporary if it wins approval in Congress. But time and time again, this administration has proved there's nothing temporary about its temporary legal residence programs.

The Bush administration is expected to announce tomorrow that it is extending for yet another year special U.S. residency status for hundreds of thousands of Central American workers. The United States began to protect its status program back in 1998 for residents of Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador, all countries hit by natural disasters eight years ago.

The so-called temporary program has been renewed many times, and was supposed to have expired by next month, this time. As we've told you here many times on this broadcast, there's nothing more permanent than temporary workers."

You see, many of those will self deport. They will have a parent die and attend the funeral. They will long to visit family and will go do so. Once they do, they can't get back in.

And, you believe this...some illegal who has been here for years maybe, will just up and leave to attend a funeral, and then will not sneak back in afterwards.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Only if their surnames are Lopez, Jimenez, or Escobar.

McCain is a tool of the Left. He's Kerry without the rice up the bum...and the fair widow Heinz, of course.

[hershey]

That map is out of date. So many illegals all over the country...they want the entire continent.

[hershey]

Take another look at McCain on TV. His arms are really short -- he looks like a sock puppet. Think what SNL would do with him.

[investigateworld]

McCain is a true chump.If (G-d forbid) he should get the Republican nomination, the media will turn on him in a New York second. His little dealings in the Keating Five scandal will be hammered 24/7. One can be certain the media has Roladex's full of elderly victims who loss everything. I suspect these victims will be headlining every aspect of the news for months.

His ego has written a check his A$$ can't handle.

[hershey]

One possible problem with deporting them all, the countries of origin may simply refuse to take them back...China just pulled that trick a week or so ago. How long before Fox and every else south of the border do the same thing?

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

This is another thing that absolutely confounds me.

Whenever I go to a pub in either Manhattan or the outer boroughs there is inevitably half a dozen idiots from County Mayo, or Kerry, wearing those obnoxious, fluorescent soccer jerseys, pissing and moaning about how hard it is to live in this city.

Now, Ireland has one of the highest growth rates in all of Europe, and while I'm not an expert on realty prices in that country, I'm almost certain that it would be easier to make do in a city like Dublin, or Limerick, then over here, where the average price for an apartment in Brooklyn eclipses $700, and the price for one in Manhattan tops off at $1,000.

And that's for the equivalent of a one-room, studio.

When my ancestors came over from Galway I'm sure that living in a fetid, Lower East Side tenement made sense from an economic opportunity point of view, but can someone please explain to me the rationale behind the decision to do that now?

[mthom]

Must not be very many illegal Lithuanians. I did a google search, a quick one anyway, and couldnt find any number.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Plus Irish illegals = NORAID donors! Only trouble is if they come home, they'll vote for Sinn Fein/IRA!

"Guest Worker" is a lie believed by no one born earlier than yesterday.

Exactly. You can designate "guest workers" in any zany scheme you choose, for any length of time, with any conditons attached, and not one thing will be changed in the slightest. All illegals will continue to feed off the system, and all who strive to follow the law will still be waiting at the border for however long, and all who might like to have a job legally, however humble, will be screwed because the job is taken by an illegal who will work for less.

Everthing else, especially the drivel about someone "having to go to the back of the line," is insulting verbal diarrhea. "Line? We doan' need no steenkin' line!" If they were willing to stand in line they already would have done so.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

They can send them to the Isle of Mann then.

It could become kind of like a North Atlantic version of Nauru.

>>
if border security is good.

Well now, that's a pretty big if. We already have border security laws on the books that aren't enforced. I'm not stupid enough to think than any new ones will be either.

What exactly does this mean? Fold your arms across your chest and refuse to do or say anything about anything? When you see reports in the media, of whatever kind, stating that arrests at the border have skyrocketed, you will just stand there sneering and say, "This just means more are trying to get in and the majority succeed and nothing is being done to stop it".

In your current configuration, there is no solution of any kind because you won't believe the results of anything.
