CAREFUL, Juan. Can’t let that “I’m a conservative” mask slip just yet, after all.

At the risk of offending readers here i have to say that for years many came from Mexico to work. As a child I can remember having Mexican workers in the fields. This was mostly during the Second World War. For year the boarder was not well defined. Meaning many crossed back and forth as the crops were harvested.

Now we see a different demographic. We still have workers coming but also we have those that are looking for safety from the lawless boarder towns. Mixed in with them is the lawless element. Those that are honestly looking for work are not doing much harm but are actually helping our country. i think that there should be a way to allow the hard working people to came and be a part of us. It's those that have no desire to work or be apart of our country that we need to fear. We find that many of the California towns have been taken over by the lawless crowd from south of the boarder. Many of these are not Mexican and are not here for any good. We need to stand up to those that are controlling the Californian politics.

Good post. Logically leads to sealing the border while creating more robust guest worker programs. Get the good people, keep out the bad.

To the day I die I will believe this individual was a shill for "The Divine One."

I thought of him more as 'cannon fodder'.

The GOP knew Obama would win. Senators and Congressmen who deal with the laws that are passed in our country, know full well the implications of those laws.

They knew how ACORN was being used, how the SEIU was being used. These people didn't get where they are by being ignorant.

McCain sold his soul to the devil back during the POW/MIA mess in Vietnam. He was on stage in Vietnam with John Kerry were he 'signed off' on an agreement that there were no POW/MIA's still being held in NV.

What they promised him was probably the 'chance' to run for President one day. So, when it came to pass they needed a 'shill', they used him.

The only reason it even came close was because someone advised him to pick Sarah Palin. He had no idea she would have the effect she did.

Nobody did. Neither the DEMS nor the REPUBS, nor their owners and handlers.

It wasn't having McCain as President that worried them. It was that they were concerned he would die, and she would be President.

That, they could not allow, because she had not been bought, nor did it appear she would ever sell herself out to them.

Ready to write the amnesty bill with Kerry & Graham once the inconvenience of the election is over.
“You know it was a really hateful climate in Arizona this year. I had to say some hurtful things about my immigrant friends because of it for which I’m truly sorry for, but now that I’m back in Washington I’ve realized that the only way to eliminate the hate and rancor in this country is to support a comprehensive immigration reform bill to bring our immigrant friends out of the shadows and allow them to pursue their right to the American dream.And of course after the reform passes I’ll sit down with my good friends across the aisle and discuss the possibility of securing the border while still allowing the free movement of both people and goods to strengthen both Mexico and the U.S. for the benefit of both countries in the future. “
McCain is,was, and ever shall be the go to guy to knife the conservatives in the back by his buddies the democrats.

The State of Arizona should call for volunteers to serve for 180 days. Such volunteers must pass a thorough background check to establish their good character. Each volunteer must provide at his expense an automatic rifle of a state specified make and caliber. The volunteer must at his own expense provide 250 rounds of ammunition. The State of Arizona would provide armoured vehicles and aircraft. Heavy machine guns would also be provided by the State if necessary. Thirty days training would be provided by the State as well as experienced leadership. The State must indemnify the volunteer against any “Civil Rights” claim by an alien. The border would then be cleaned up. The volunteers would serve without pay though the state may provide food and water when the volunteer is in the field suppressing invaders.

Good post. And it’s good to see the Argies waxing Mexico’s cross-country skiis at half-time.

It was a stupid comment that was practically tailor-made for ridicule. Brewer may be a good governor of her state (I don’t know), but she’s taking the clumsiest approach possible to illegal immigration.

For example, in the famous ID law, instead of giving this responsibility to the police and leaving it up to their discretion (not to mention the willingness of their departments to pay overtime), the law should simply have said that anyone who applies for any government service...ranging from education to unemployment to library cards to VOTING...should be able to provide a valid ID.

Her law was a gesture that could easily be parodied and shot down by the left. In fact, even a lot of cops don’t like it: the cop at the traffic stop doesn’t have the time or resources to check the validity of somebody’s ID, and therefore is not going to ask for it. ANd if the person was involved in a felony and arrested, their ID or lack thereof will be revealed anyway.

She would have done much better to do what other states have done, which is require checkable ID for services.

ROFL! We also need to consider the economic dynamic. Without good job opportunities, the percentage of drug smuggling would increase.

*sigh*

What next from the Democrat's most popular brain dead Republican? Will he say something really stupid, like, the Democrats are a "fine Party"? Oh, wait a minute. Never mind...

John McCain on the Democratic Party ("I think that the Democratic Party is a fine party")

Not really. Most illegal aliens come from much deeper into Mexico and Central American countries south of Mexico. The majority of permanent residents of border towns have had a secure place there for decades or are beggars who have no desire to work a job anywhere. Those looking to cross the border are just passing through.

Those that are honestly looking for work are not doing much harm but are actually helping our country.

That is far from true. A large percentage of illegal aliens who come here for "honest work" use our welfare system as much as they can and use emergency rooms for health care. Even the "honest work" they do lowers wages and takes jobs from citizens and legal migrant workers. Many steal IDs to get jobs and benefits too.

i think that there should be a way to allow the hard working people to came and be a part of us.

We do have a legal system for foreign workers to come and get jobs. We have for decades. Those people are harmed by illegal aliens too.

Do those things and illegal aliens will deport themselves quickly at their own expense.

"I do wish Sarah Palin would stop campaigning for HIm"

The crafty McCain has her over the barrel and he's using her for all she's worth. If she declines to campaign for him she'll be seen as being 'ungrateful' and 'two faced'. If she likes Hayworth she could always say a few kind words about him too, (off the record, so to speak); that might soften the stigma she's getting from conservatives for helping McAmnesty.

That clown’s first inclination is always to ingratiate himself with the Left. Only then does he bother to think about America or conservatives. America will be sooooooo much safer when he retires to the big communist prisoner of war camp in the sky.
