What does this mean?

Never had any reason to trust Cornyn.

You could not get the man to give a direct answer to a direct question if his life depended on it.

I've asked Cornyn what he means. Why don't you?

produce a product that represents the best interests of America, including respect for the rule of law, national security and economic security.

[exist]

Sad part is we would probably be getting the same BS if the other guy won.

[D Rider]

...and stand ready to work with him to produce a product that represents the best interests of America, including respect for the rule of law, national security and economic security.

Sounds like he is sticking his finger in 0's eye. At least I hope so.

[Squantos]

Cornyn is speaking more on enforcement aka ICE man commeth IMO versus endorsing shamnesty sort of BS ......

Could be wrong , never trust a polidiot yet ......that’s my take on his words and recent voting record on illegals getting papered like pissed off prize peons tryin to pass a peach pit !

Stay safe !

[adm5]

Yep, he and Kay Bailey are useless as teets on a boar-hog.

They both voted for the first $700B bailout. NEVER FORGET.

Let me guess? Amnesty? Millions of Americans are out of work. Illegal immigration and Obama are bankrupting the country. We better be ready to fight this like the Alamo.

You can fax for free plus numbers to call. They helped stop the last amnesty. Everyone thinks we will lose this time but I think maybe not. A lot of unemployed Americans may finally wake up.

[Pantera]

I believe that Cornyn is positioning himself to counter an amnesty bill with solutions designed to seal the border. If I recall, he was an ardent opponent of the first amnesty bill. Here’s more:

It means whatever your particular biases want it to mean, in the fine tradition of political speechification. Look at the record, not the words.

[Kimberly GG]

I already KNOW what he means...check out his history on illegal immigration...not much different that McShamnesty’s.

[Dallas59]

Why didn't this person say this in Spanish?

I call RACISM!

[bgill]

I can see where this is headed. All the more reason to continue to throw his “vote for me” letters in the trash.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Cornyn also supported the North American Union and the NAFTA Superhighway...so I would not be surprised that he will waffle on illegal aliens

If the GOP does not go 100% against illegal alien amnesty...I will not waste my vote on them anymore. I am tired of any politician who values the rights of illegal aliens over the rights of American citizens. This is anti-American treason

    The rhetoric that flows on this topic is often devoid of commen sense.  Here we go again.

    "I applaud President Obama's commitment to addressing comprehensive immigration reform this year, and stand ready to work with him to produce a product that represents the best interests of America, including respect for the rule of law, national security and economic security.

    I don't applaud Obama's commitment to legalizing tens of millions of illegal immigrants on U.S. soil today.  I can't fathom any sane Conservative doing so.  Just how do you produce a product that represents the best interests of America, including respect for the rule of law, national security and economic security by legalizing them?

    Legalizing people who have broken all the rules, does not cause anyone to strive to abide by the rules in the future.  Allowing foreign nationals to displace U.S. workers or cause undue downward pressure on their ability to earn a decent wage, doesn't increase our national security or economic security.

    All this effort will do is convince others who wish to come here illegally, that is will undoubtedly pay off with citizenship and government support.

    Cornyn just destroyed any credibility he could have expected from me.

    "Comprehensive, common-sense immigration reform remains a top priority for me.

    Untrue.  Cornyn has demonstrated that he wants transition to citizenship at any cost.  His stated goals are unattainable by the type of comprehensive immigration reform he has signed on to.  The bill he supported last year was terminally flawed.

    Any legislation must protect our borders, promote economic prosperity in Texas and throughout the United States, and be consistent with our American values of compassion, family and opportunity."

    Good grief.  How is legalizing tens of millions of illegal immigrants going to protect our borders?  It will simply convince millions upon millions more that it is a fantastic idea to sneak into the United States.   How will Cornyn take all this back by 2050, when the Hispanic populace in the United States excedes 50%, and the Democrats have an absolute lock on elections?

    Isn't it about time the values of our current U.S. Citizens are taken into consideration.  Don't these families deserve compassion and opportunity?
   
    For the record, flooding our workforce with foreign nationals does not show respect for our Citizen's right to earn a decent living, and not be tasked with the burden of supporting a large body of people whether they are here legally or not.  Making these illegals citizens, WILL NOT stop their draining effects on the Citizens of our nation.  Where's the compassion in that Cornyn?

[Sarajevo]

Never had any reason to trust Cornyn.

I've emailed him 15 times in the recent past about his position on varying policies. I only received 1 reply, and it was a weak reply at that..

I can't believe that he was just re-elected.

[Will88]

Cornyn just won reelection in 2008, so he has five and a-half more years before he’d be up again. He might go the way of John Kyl, strong opponent of amnesty the year before he faced the voters in 2006, then a major 180 to become one of the strongest pro-amnesty senators.

Let’s hope Cornyn doesn’t flip-flop as Kyl did. And I wonder where Kyl will come down on the issue this time?

[TexasCajun]

Hide & Watch:

Cornyn will be strong on illegal immigration and strong on border control.

I didn't read anything in his statement that makes me think otherwise.

Ping!
