Michigan voters Boo McCain...video

You can all flame Mc Cain for the way he responded to this question but he was actually showing some human decency here. It seems that the current discourse in the States says that you have to take the position "all illegals are criminals and I will smoke them out of their caves and kick them over our borders" to be taken seriously. It wasn't always that way..

Mc Cain obviously doesn't agree with this point of view. He was willing to state that he will secure the borders but not that he will hunt down every illegal in your country to kick them all out.

Whether you agree with the man or not.. This was actually the first time ever that I have seen him stand up for a personal believe and I respect him for it.

Which is not to say that his Iraq soldier - illegal mother analogy isn't completely ridiculous and that the man would still be the worst possible choice for the Presidency... But on this one issue I think he actually showed a human face. Whether you agree with him or not.

Yes, destroying your own nation's middle class is very compassionate.

:rolleyes:

If McCain has his way those illegals will be pissed to find they came all this way just to live in Mexico v2.0

What's compassionate about driving down the living wages of the most vulnerable Americans? We're importing poverty folks, it just doesn't make any economic sense...unless you're the greedy corporation who is profiting and passing on the social costs to Uncle Sucker...i mean us :(
 
Okay... my feathers are ruffled. Whoever said that we need to cut illegals slack is royally ticking me off!

My son is adopted from Guatemala. If you had the slightest clue how difficult it was for us to bring an orphan into the US legally you might change your opinion. When we had our embassy interviews we passed lines of people wrapped around the embassy - many who were sick and trying to get a medical visa - who came day after freakin' day waiting for a handful of interviews. These people were doing it legally. The answer is in fixing the system and avoiding illegal immigration. Sending them home is the only responsible thing in my opinion... stiff upper lip... send the message. They can come back when they pay their dues and stand in line. I'm a tax paying citizen and it took me two years to bring my little immigrant home! I watched sick elderly Guatemalan stand in line for hours just to be turned away... sacrificing their piddly incomes for the day to do so. How disrespectful to them to say it's okay for people who sneak in to stay here.
 
Why is it that when someone puts McCain on the spot on any issue, he always finds a way to tie it into Iraq?

Exactly. Everytime he gets cornered, he pulls out the fighting in Iraq card somehow. How many different ways can he lay this card on the table. This is getting as old as Ghouliani's 9/11 card! Are people so dumb as to believe that the 30 million illegals that are here ALL have a son fighting in the military in Iraq?!!! Come on people, wake up!! (no, I am not taking about the board members, just frustrated with the stupid Americans in general)

What happened to the "law" is the law. Yes sneak across the border, break our laws and we will let you join the military, and become a citizen. Then you all your family that also broke the law to get into this country can also become a citizen.

Seems to me that's a by product of Americans not supporting your war. That's why congress has to declare a war, you have to make sure that "We the People" are behind it. If we aren't you get what you get here.

Since we Americans don't support this war you take illegal immigrants and make them citizens, seriously WTF?

If enough Americans don't support your war, you don't find another way to get soldiers, how about you try following the wishes of the American people. I know it's a radical idea, but frankly I could give less of a shit if illegal immigrants support your war are not.

I don't support it, but I have to pay for it?

Sorry Mr. McCain, get the hell out, quit enlisting law breakers in your illegal war and If America doesn't support it, then you can't do it. You expect me to have sympathy for your illegal aliens fighting your illegal war? That is perverse.
