Taking Mayor Bloomberg's view one step further, Sen. John McCain warned that the American economy would collapse if 11 million illegal aliens are sent packing.
"What are we going to do with 11 million people?" McCain asked at a dinner at the New York Yacht Club......... "You going to send 'em all back? Mayor Bloomberg testified at a hearing last week that the economy of New York City would collapse [without illegal immigrants]. I would argue the economy of America would collapse."
The Arizona Republican is co-sponsor of a bill....that would provide for a guest-worker program and a path to citizenship for many illegal immigrants.

McCain is a dumbass. Incentive brought them here, disincentive will send them back. You don't have to round them up and deport them.
Nice Arizona sunset----LOL.
McCain is weird and unpredictable. I don't like or trust him. I think he's all over the map and inconsistant.

Employment Situation Summary:The number of unemployed persons (7.0 million) was essentially unchanged in June, and the unemployment rate held at 4.6 percent. The unemployment rate for adult men declined to 4.0 percent, while the unemployment rate for teenagers edged up to 15.4 percent. Jobless rates for the other major worker groups--adult women (4.1 percent), whites (4.1 percent), blacks (9.0 percent), and Hispanics (5.3 percent)--showed little or no change over the month. The unemployment rate for Asians was 3.5 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
Nice take....To sum up----guy's a maininac.
Argue whatever you want, that doesn't make it true.
The msm keeps telling us how conservative he is and how he's moving back to the right. Yet every time I see an article about legislation he sponsors it has a drunken kennedy co sponsor to go with it. Somehow I don't see that as "conservative".
Nice find---thankls. Great contribution to the thread.
Wasn't that lamo "day without hispanics" a big flop in California? Last time I checked CA was still there.
Except of course crime dropped a bit.
More likely the US economy will collapse if as McCainaic wants to do----we deliver the US Social Security system to Mexico, increase illegals take from the US Treasury, and enable illegals keep sending an annual $30 billion out of the US to Mehico.
The McCain/Kennedy bill would:
* Having the fruits of the American citizens’/taxpayers’ labor siphoned off, by an increasingly unaccountable federal government, to pay for social services, education, legal fees and court costs for criminals who are living and working in this country illegally.
* Allowing citizens of another country, whose leadership is among the most corrupt in the world, to enter this country at will in order to feed like parasites off of a convoluted, cancer-ridden system of government that no longer bears any resemblance to the original-intent limited-government blueprint that once insured individual liberty, justice, and national sovereignty more practically and nobly than any other outline ever conceived by the mind of man.
* Allowing representatives of the Mexican government to have a say (sometimes even more of a say than the American citizenry) as to how, and how resolutely, we patrol the very borders across which their own countrymen are invading our republic.
And you could actually drive on the streets and freeways.
If the economy collapses because you git rid of illegals then it is a house of cards to start with. This is the same kind of logic as saying people that don't have a job have every right to steal to put food on the table. It doesn't wash. Illegal is illegal.
Another way to put it would be that the politicos ignored the problem for so long that now the economy is dependent on illegal labor and now in order to get rid of them now we will have to bite the bullet.
The illegal-alien revulsion runs deeply through BOTH parties.
Your being nice...ain't ya!
RINOS OUT!!
and like a blind squirrel, McCain has finally stumbled onto an acorn.

"other major worker groups--adult women (4.1 percent), whites (4.1 percent), blacks (9.0 percent), and Hispanics (5.3 percent)--showed little or no change over the month. The unemployment rate for Asians was 3.5 percent, not seasonally adjusted. "
So, if we deported most of the illegals, would there be more jobs for the 9% of "African Americans" that are unemployed? How many are unemployed because of the illegals? Jesse, Al, Oprah, Rangel, Waters, et al, are you looking and listening?
Notice how few Asians are unemployed?
I try to be, but most of the time I don't succeed at it. Oh well,....
Send them back with no hope of returning. There are millions waiting in line overseas to immigrate here legally. They are the type of people who obey laws and respect what America stands for.
One would think Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be marching against illegals
The amnesty bill went nowhere---MaCain better figure out why, pronto.
Anti-illegal is one of the few consensus issues. Politicians are hearing the same message from the right and the left.
You know nutsy McCain went off the deep end when he marches in lockstep with goo-goo Mayor Bloomberg.
McCain is an idiot. Why does Arizona keep electing him? And, why does McCain think he is presidential material?
No answers required.
Taxpayers should get the help of representatives and leaders who are against losing our sovereign state by the hands of despotic politicians, and have another "Tea Party".
We need to quit feeding the Beast.
for the samre reason they elect Napolitano....too many liberals moved down there from Northern climes.
"send McVain back to Arizona "
Aw, have a heart. We don't want him back.
Tea Party? Maybe a couple gulps of this will make 'em move faster.
LOL----sorry 'bout that, but we gotta send him somewhere.
I drove from Thousand Oaks to Irvine in about an hour 15 minutes that day!!
Uganda??
Maybe I was to vague?
Habanero sauce would be better served with a taxpayer revolt on the side. I suggest withholding tax dollars. Most Americans will not do so out of fear. Why is that? This is Our Government!
I suggested State Reps. along with other leaders who agree, to be invited to join.
Too warm---like Arizona.
I say send him to Antartica---let him get a little windburn.

I will never vote for this worthless human called McCain.
Then it will be my distinct pleasure to send John McCain packing. America doesn't need his kind of "leadership" (sic).
That and California liberals who don't want to suffer the higher land prices due to their calling all new land development off-limits.
Have you seen him lately? It looks like he has a huge cyst inside his left cheek pushing the flesh out like a chipmunk looking for his hidey-hole.
O-o-o-o, that's gonna smart.
How sad that our own elected officials have such a low opinion of us common folk. I'll tell you what, if I had to bite the bullet temporarily so that I could have MY country back, I'd do it in a heartbeat!!! Besides, all the doom and gloom these idiots talk about is just rhetoric. My gosh, have the illegals moved ANYWHERE in this country and contributed anything other than crime and slum conditions??? I think not. I live with it everyday here in Atlanta, there are areas of town that I refuse to go to, the schools are sinking faster than the Titanic and quite frankly I hate feeling like I live in a 3rd world country. The fact that this is even up for debate is a disgusting. Our elected officials should be ashamed of themselves, obviously they take the job for no other reason than to enrich themselves. Maybe they should be forced to study the constitution and be tested before you're allowed to run for office. They seem to forget we are a country of laws.
Gee, McCainiac, seems to me we survived the Great Boycott just fine without them. Maybe you should have them do it again. We'll give them a makeup test. See if they can screw the American economy better then their first abysmal failure.
Sorry to say he has had a couple bouts with skin cancer---but purportedly it is not malignant.
"What are we going to do with 11 million people?" McCain asked at a dinner at the New York Yacht Club......... "You going to send 'em all back? Mayor Bloomberg testified at a hearing last week that the economy of New York City would collapse [without illegal immigrants]. "
Suppose, Mr. Bloomberg, there were 11 million rapists.
Would you say, "What are we going to do with 11 million rapists? Lock them all up?"
If you don't stop criminals - and these ARE criminals who have broken our immigration laws, in the future, Mr. Bloomberg, you will have 22 million illegal aliens.
