Allow me to share first hand experience with you, I've lived on the Border since before the last Amnesty was implemented.
Your evaluation of the situation is not realistic. The current immigration laws are not being enforced, why do you believe any new ones would be enforced.
It will take several years to build up the enforcement forces. As soon as the President signs the bill, the human transport cartels in Mexico will be out selling it as amnesty, even if it isn't, by the time the enforcement division is built up to handle the influx there will be millions more across the border. If those already here are allowed to stay without returning to their country of origin, it will only encourage the amnesty salesmen in Mexico.
Until he's recalled CENSURE him, wasn't it because of him the term RINO was invented ?
So Ireland wants to meddle in our politics now too?
Do you have a point?
In McCain's case, he sold out in Vietnam to Vietnam. May God strike this bit of excriment from the fabric of our lives.
Well, I won't dream on since you set me straight.
I am a little late with my response to you,but I had to leave for work yesterday.
Thank you for agreeing with me.
Thank you.
I am proud to be one.:)
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Support our Minutemen Patriots!
Be Ever Vigilant!
I quite like McCain. Mind you, I have a lot of Irish blood and he's keen to make some of the Irish illegals legal.
Forgive me ~ I'm 1/4 Irish. ;)
Lots of things are illegal. Not all of them should be. When it comes down to it, their crime is, as GG Liddy would say, Malum prohibitum, not malum in se. That means we, the people,, should change what is prohibited to something that actually works, that is, serves our purposes, which the current system does not. People aren't obeying the law, and one should not pass a malum prohibitum law that people are not going to obey. They tried that with Prohibition, and even a Constitutional amendment couldn't make people obey that "law".
I'm with you on the guest worker program, but the provision that their children born in the US not be citizens probably would require a constitutional amendment. I'd prefer that the laws be changed to not allow US born children to become "anchors" for the guest workers. That is the parents should have to return home at the same as they would sans child. The child can stay, or go home an return later as a citizen, but the parents should get no leverage from the child The laws and regulations that do that today, can and should be changed. .
Viva McCain! Viva El Presidente
Tell me! How does this guy get elected????
Bullshit. They may not WANT to obey, but if we keep kicking them out, and make it impossible for them to find a means of making a living, MOST of them will stay away. All the folks who keep saying "oh, it's impossible to deport them or keep them out, so we should just let anyone in who wants" are crazy. Sure, we might not keep 100% out, but I'd settle for 99.5%--or even 90%.

No, actually it doesn't. The children of foreign dignitaries here on TEMPORARY embassy duty don't automatically become American citizens if born here. But that's a matter for the Supreme Court to decide---pass the law, kick some out, and let'em go to court.
McCain is capable of any duplicity, any treachery. He should always be remembered for his role, with Kerry, in the abandonment of our POW's in Vietnam and the mistreatment of their families during POW hearings.
