 |
|
Looks like McCain and Teddy have a cozy little immigration Plan: let the 8-13 million illegal immigrants be here illegally for 3 years (after paying a “fine”) and working, of course, and then they can become citizens…. sounds good to me! They’ve solved the problem of “illegal immigrants” by eliminating the adjective! Took months to do it. What a team!!

Drops key details of immigration plan on plebes
(excerpts/emphasis mine)
ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Senator John McCain is a walking news conference. <….> He announced a bipartisan proposal to restructure the American immigration system. ''Just by coincidence, Sen. Teddy Kennedy and I, in the last couple of days, after several months of negotiations, have reached an agreement for an immigration proposal that we will be putting out next week," McCain confided Thursday to a first-year political science class at the US Naval Academy. For the 8 million to 13 million illegal immigrants in the country, the senator said, ''our proposal is along the lines of make them pay a fine of a couple thousand dollars, make them work for three years, and after three years they can get in the back of the line for a green card and then eventually become citizens."
The plebes had no idea that they had heard the exclusive details of a deal between a border-state Republican and a New England liberal Democrat that could alter the national debate over immigration. But then, that's McCain.
In his hour with the students, the famously candid lawmaker:
--Announced that Pres. Bush would speak at the Naval Academy graduation -- before the White House managed to get that information into the public domain.
--Urged a steroid ban covering all pro sports.
--Criticized various US ''mistakes" in Iraq.
--Declared that Bush ''needs to start vetoing some bills" and said that on fiscal matters his fellow Republicans ''are abandoning one of the pillars of our Republican Party." <…..>
Now McCain is at the center of the immigration debate, which has split nativist and probusiness Republicans. As McCain outlined it, the plan he and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Dem. of MA, put together goes significantly further toward amnesty for illegal immigrants than Bush has proposed; that could give Bush leverage as he negotiates with anti-immigrant Republicans in the House.
The McCain-Kennedy plan, he said, would ''spend a lot of money and a lot of effort" to secure the southern border, using high-tech tools such as unmanned aerial vehicles and lasers. |

they think these illegals will have $ for a fine?

maybe just give them another fine

It should work at least as well as McCain-Feingold.Capt. McQueeg just loves schmoozing the opposition, oops almost forgot, frequently he is the opposition. He is the Dems pet RINO.

I think that "fine" would be the $ they used to pay their smugglers -- the immigrants just pay their "illegal pass fee" to us instead and we sneak them in ourselves. That way we create more small business opportunities, you know, little shops all along the border where the immigrants pay their coyote fee, get their "good for 3 illegal years in the USA card," and obtain their waiting transport to the job that is waiting for them. (As to a default, I think we're smart enough to get cash up front.)

I don't believe anything McCain or Kennedy say separately, so I surely don't believe anything they say or do jointly.
so glad to hear McCain isn't planing to run for prez in 08.... this announcement will put a knife in the AZ voters for him.
they all have so many and big homes, I say if they want 'em here,
they should 'sponsor' them. rent 'em a room, get them a job, feed 'em, pay for their medical bills etc
a few thousand $ fine won't make up for the billions they cost us each yr.
note to me = email to McCain.... again.....
I 'm sick of eveyone thinking McCain has our interests in mind with his crappy ideas.

McCain is running. His ego is huge and competes with Clinton and sKerry. Capt. McQueeg is in it and is not a man we want. He is in it for himself and nobody else.
