WASHINGTON — Mayor Bloomberg singled out for praise three Republicans — Senator McCain, Michael Huckabee, and President Bush — for their positions on immigration, suggesting they have been more "pro-immigration" than the Democratic presidential candidates. "In terms of immigration policy, the ones who have stood out, interestingly enough, are the three Republicans. Huckabee and McCain and President Bush have all been much more pro-immigration than the other candidates," Mr. Bloomberg told reporters here yesterday in response to a question from The New York Sun about his opinion on the immigration stances of Mr. McCain and senators Clinton and Obama. "Now hopefully the other candidates are starting to understand the value of immigration and changing."

I guess the word "illegal" is down the memory hole.

No matter who gets elected this time, the word “illegal” is going to be down the memory hole.

Amnesty here we come!

Much more to the point

That’s all Republicans need, praise on immigration from this midget. I guess Bloomie doesn’t want any of the Republicans to win.

But the Hucksters reassured us that his border security credentials were near perfect. In fact, he signed the pledge not to support amnesty and open borders.

[Shermy]

He's out of touch. Clinton and Obama are fully on board. And Huckabee signed a piece of paper...

Maybe he'll go back to trying to convince Obama that carbon taxes are better then cap and trade..

Amnesty here we come!

Not if I can help it. Remember, both sides were against us the last time and we stopped them dead in their tracks. They intend to wear us down. Don't let them.

[alicewonders]

I know there are still those of us who will not be worn down. I won’t forget! McCain is not worthy to be our candidate - if we meekly submit & give him our support - we are surrendering and giving in to amnesty. I can’t believe so many on this site have already given in to it.

I’ll not be one of those sheeple. Call me all the names you want & tell me to go away - I won’t go away unless JimRob asks me to.

5 children killed by two illegal aliens in Minnesota and Michigan in the past week can not be forgotten. We have obligations to those kids and their families.

The sad part about this is that there people here on FR who would take Bloomberg word because they want to. I am pretty sure bloomberg is savvy enough to know the effect of this comment.

[alicewonders]

Amen.

[Iron Munro]

Mayor Bloomberg’s endorsement for taking a pro-illegal position is not exactly calculated to win the hearts and minds of the Republican base.

[VR-21]

Accolades from Bloomberg. Damn...now I’m all swole-up with pride.

[DoughtyOne]

IMO the amnesty issue would have passed, but McCain didn’t want to take the hit for the full out fight he would have had to wage.

Wait until he’s president. I know what he says now, but...

[alicewonders]

"demonizing undocumented Americans"

You are unbelievable! These "undocumented Americans", as you call them - are ILLEGAL ALIENS! They are not Americans!!!

This is what we can expect if Juan McCain becomes President.

[End Times Crusader]

Amnesty will be passed regardless who becomes president in January if not before. Suck it up and move on to another issue.

[alicewonders]

No.

[End Times Crusader]

“No,” what? No amnesty will not pass or No you won’t move on.

[alicewonders]

No, I won’t move on.
