McCain to GOP: Accept path to citizenship In immigration-"reform" bill
The Hill ^

Posted on 01/27/2013 9:37:31 AM PST by JohnPDuncan

Yes John, creating millions of new Democrat voters demanding free stuff is absolutely what the GOP needs

- Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said that the Republican Party has to accept a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants as part of an immigration-reform package.

McCain said on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday that a group of bipartisan senators would be announcing “principles” on immigration reform this week, which he said was similar to a plan unveiled during President George W. Bush’s second term that ultimately failed.

McCain said there’s one big reason that his party has to loosen its opposition to providing a path to citizenship.

“Look at the last election,” he said. “We are losing dramatically the Hispanic vote, which we think should be ours for a variety of reasons, and we’ve got to understand that.”

Nice link. However, it still does not point to a single state where currently illegal Hispanics made the difference. I wish you could point it out. That way it could be proven the last election was illegal.

The US already has a path to citizenship. It is clearly spelled out right here. What the libs want is to ignore the line-cutting law breakers. I'd propose that an amendment be inserted that in addition to any fines that will be assessed upon these folks, that a permanent suspension of voting privileges be enforced.

Nice try there Juan Mc Cain. You can get your illegals citizenship just as soon as mexico grants Americans free and unimpeded access to mexico, along with the right to buy and own any property there outright. Oh, and don’t forget to allow them to arm themselves to fend off the drug lords and gangbangers that litter the landscape in mexico. If you agree to those terms, people might be willing to deal, otherwise you can just keep endorsing your central american slave labor trade to the usual suspects.

Again, you cannot point to a single state where the hispanic vote determined the outcome.

Hispanic votes are concentrated in already democratic strongholds like California and New Mexico. The could get 100% of the hispanic vote in those states and it wouldn’t change the outcome.

“We ALL know that we can’t capture them and bus them back to Mexico.”

Oh, yes we can. There is no political will to enforce the law.

Providing free citizenship to those who do not respect the law only puts out the sign to invite another 20 million to invade.
Making everyone pass a legal resident/citizen database test for a drivers license, for a job, for any government benefit? Absolutely.

DEPORTING EVERY ILLEGAL that is identified? Absolutely. Keeping families together so that illegal kids are going home with their parents? Absolutely. This is what other countries do.

“Deal with it or it will only grow and we’ll never win another election.”

I’m not a Republican. I’m a conservative. I’m not here to elect DemoLites to destroy the country slowly.

Alright, that’s it!

I don’t care what happened to this guy in Vietnam.
I don’t care how much he persevered.
I don’t care how big a war hero he is.

I want this man to shut the f- up and go away, NOW!
I wouldn’t necessarily mind if he just hung around but that’s not an option with him!
He simply can not keep that f-—g trap of his shut!
He revels in telling his own side how dumb it is for not agreeing with him and prefers to do so on camera as much as possible!
He is an egotistical jackass who has been in office too long and is now less than useless.

The big question I would ask, What is that path? My folks followed a path to citizenship when they came here from Switzerland.That path was much more involved than just sneaking across the border. It took years.Sure,there ought to be a way someone productive and skilled can immigrate here. But just slipping in and voting dimocrat isn’t going to cut it.
However, it is all part of the muslim in chief’s plan to destroy. We are all infidels to him, and financial destruction, racial conflict, job destruction, are all part of the plan. Since a majority of the working class folk own most of the weapons, it would help to disarm them first, so they couldn’t put down riots or throw out the corrupt government too quickly for his plan to succeed.He doesn’t care on bit about some infidel’s children, or who wins/loses, as long as the destruction is as great as he can possibly make it.Fortunately,it looks like at least some Americans have woken up to this. Maybe it won’t work out the way he planned after all, although he has done plenty already.

I gave it my own spin, sorry !

Spin can be done in YOUR comments, but the original headline should be the AUTHOR'S original.

“Like it or not....Hispanics turned the election and you have to deal it.”

Horse$hit, Hispanics didn't turn anything. White Conservatives who stayed home turned the election.

DONT REWARD LAW-BREAKING BY CONFERRING THE PRECIOUS GIFT OF CITIZENHIP ON LAWBREAKERS. CONTACT YOUR CONG/man: we need to act now----amnesty legislation should be amended to DENY citizenship in these categories (all instances cited leave a paper trail--and are easily verified).

(1) deny citizenship to illegals who purchased multiple forged/faked identities;

(2) deny citizenship to illegals who fraudulently voted in American elections;

(3) deny citizenship to illegals--and extended families--cashing one or more US govt checks;

(4) deny citizenship to all illegals convicted of crimes here and in their homelands;

(5) deny citizenship to illegals w/ fraudulent drivers' licenses;

(6) deny citizenship to illegals undermining the US ecocomy by sending US tax dollars back to their homelands;

(7) deny citizenship to illegals affiliated with latino organizations undermining US ntl security;

(8) deny citizenship to illegals connected to the hatemongering "La Raza"

(9) deny citizenship to students and advocates of "Raza Studies" (teaches killing of Americans); <>(10) deny citizenship to illegals who returned to US after being deported one or more times;

(11) deny citizenship to illegals whose parents fraudently declared them on EITC apps;

(12) deny citizenship to illegals who unlawfully received US govt gratuities in exchange for their votes;

(13) deny citizenship to those who made false claims of citizenship on job apps (US courts ruled this a deportable offense);

(14) deny citizenship to illegals using fake/forged Social Security numbers;

(15) deny citizenship to illegals who obtained fraudulent sub-prime mortgages;

(16) deny citizenship to illegals who defaulted on mortgages (and other debt).

(17) deny citizenship to illegals who skipped out on arrest warrants (violates US criminal law w/ arrest/jailtime for contempt).

..........and so on and so forth......
