... and some people say McCain stands a chance in 2008. What a joke.
Well of course they do.
You might as well relax and watch it happen, nothing to do about it. The PTB want it to happen, and there is nothing short of an armed revolt that will stop it from happening.
You know or you should know that at any time some future congress can amend this law and remove the stipulation that they have to return to their country and apply for a work visa. They do it all the time. It is a sucker bet.
Kennedy and McCain are emigrating to Mexico? That's great news.
all the more reason to dislike the proposal.
MEXICAN GO HOME
I favor charging Mexico half the cost of the wall. Its their citizens causing the problems.
Well, who cares what Mexico wants? Are McCain and Kennedy members of the Mexican Congress now?
Of course - slime balls stick together.
Good Lord! Things just get more phatasmagoric here in the 'bizarro world' known as America. Does it make messrs. McCain and Kennedy all warm and fuzzy appealing to what Mexicans want? With idiocy like this seriously being bantered about, I fear the United States has a dismal future as an independent nation. It saddens and enrages me beyond belief. The best move would be to send all our liberals - and RINO's a la McCain - to Mexico.
Yeah, and Mexico must be placated at all costs...It seems a fait accompli. Today I talked to a WWII vet who said he doesn't recognize his country anymore and feels unsure of the meaning of his sacrifice. When I read this, I feel the same way. I can't help but wonder why the men in my family fought and died in the world wars so that men like McCain---supposedly an honorable veteran---could give the country away with the stroke of a pen.
Common sense should tell people these guest-worker plans are unworkable. Without rigorous enforcement of the immigration laws, there's no reason for employers to comply with guest-worker rules. Why would an employer document a worker if there's no penalty for not doing so, and if the worker is on the books, the employer has to pay social security taxes, minimum wage, and worker comp?
I say, let them first prove they are willing to deport the illegals and protect the border. There's nothing wrong with immigration itself, but letting the lawbreakers win is a slap in the face of everyone else who has played by the rules. I wouldn't mind if they let more people legally immigrate to the US, but simply making all the illegals legal with a stroke of the pen is a grave injustice!
They stay here now for as long as they wish and can stay undetected. What makes him think they will voluntarily return for the one year if inacted? Will current illegals suddenly become law-abiding because McCain and Kennedy have said so?
>Presidential spokesman Ruben Aguilar today said the McCain-Kennedy proposal, which would allow current illegal immigrants to work in the U.S. for up to six years, is the one that comes closest to what Mexico wants.<
Senor Estupido, how about what the illegally-migrated country wants?
"The plan would allow current illegal immigrants to work in the U-S for up to six years"
Ok.... but only if they take kerry, kennedy, mccain, reid and a few others in exchange!
Oh! And they have to take some of our less then honest members of the mainstream media too!
I'm all for removing the border between mexico and the us. Then we remove the mexican Goverment,(they have oil) nad we could make......oh ten more states. They'd be better off and after some work so would we.
Who's on board.
Ahem, cough cough. Sure thing.
Then President Bush sat down and dreamed that 15 million illegal aliens all dutifully left the country at once to go home for a year, and they returned a year later to procure a new work permit, just as he stated. And he saw the government enforcing this law. And then he fell asleep and dreamed he was in a Hollywood movie, and that he was the star of the movie, This really blew his mind, the fact that he, an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome should be the star of a Hollywood movie.
How is passing another law like this going to help? Why would people who want to come here illegally register under this plan as a guest worker? Why not just keep doing what you are doing? This has never made sense to me. A guest worker plan would only work AFTER the border has been secured. Alone it provides no incentive to go through legal channels.
