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

An Irish Face On the Cause Of Citizenship
March 16, 2006,
Rory Dolan's, a restaurant in Yonkers, was packed with hundreds of illegal Irish immigrants on that rainy Friday night in January when the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform called its first meeting. Niall O'Dowd, the chairman, soon had them cheering. ''You're not just some guy or some woman in...

Dublin pushes for U.S. immigration reform
By Ray OHanlon, Irish Echo, 31 January 2006
The Irish government this week stepped more forcefully into America's immigration reform debate when it announced a grant of 30,000 (approximately $36,000) to aid the work of the recently formed Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform (ILIR).
The money comes as Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform is readying a series of meetings in three East Coast urban areas designed to drum up support for the McCain/Kennedy immigration bill, one of several significant proposals already written or in the pipeline on Capitol Hill.
Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Edward Kennedy (D-MA) are presenting the immigration bill.

Dear Senator McCain, Screw you. You left out: and the Donkey you rode in on. It's an old Texas saying that damn sure fits when discussing McCain.

The Irish amnesty is a stalking horse for the 50-times larger Mexican amnesty. Politicians like it because they get to pretend that Amnesty will help white Europeans as well (it will, but in trivial numbers compared to illegals from the 3rd world).

The McCain Kennedy Bill favoured by the Irish Government would allow people to stay in the US and work while applying for a green card. It also involves paying a fine.

Kennedy Leads Irish Rally in Support of Immigration Reform
Today 1600 Irish Americans including 900 from Massachusetts descended on the Capitol in support of the McCain-Kennedy plan for comprehensive immigration reform. Kennedy addressed the group to thank them for their dedication and give them an update as to where the negotiations stand in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Since when do
ILLEGALS get to make the rules?! I doubt any of us
LEGAL citizens would get so much time with McCain and/or Kennedy if we had a different point of view from them!
What part of breaking the law don't they understand?!!! I don't care where they came from if they are ILLEGAL they are breaking the law. You don't reward them with citizenship for any reason!

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.

Assuming that the commonly used numbers for each population is used then the mexican amnesty would be 120 times larger than the irish. Sorry didnt mean to twist that knife.

The funnier droolers claim they would NEVER vote for McCain but if it starts looking like he is "electable" they will become rabid in their support.

Thank God we won't have to deal with either one for much longer.
Although, not before they've inflicted enough damage to irreparably harm our nation.
I can't wait for the Republican presidential primaries to begin, so I can begin to take my party back from the endemically corrupt, open borders, cheap labor shills that have hijacked it.

"If such demonstrations continue, I think we will have a bill for the President to sign soon..."
Wonderful. It's only 10 years too late.
I think you've misunderstood McCain. He isn't talking about a bill banning illegal immigration, he's talking about his support for a guest worker program/amnesty.
