Thousands of foreigners remain in makeshift camps after being chased from their homes by stick- and knife-wielding mobs of South Africans who accuse immigrants of taking jobs and blame them for crime. A church service was held Sunday at one of the camps.

I just took this off Drudge. Is this the harbinger of what’s in store for America when gas is $10 a gallon and bread is $6 a loaf and the panic due to shortages kicks in. Where is America’s leadership. Why aren’t our borders secure? Why hasn’t oil conservation become the rallying call? We have to get off this fixation on “gotcha” politics and Dancing with Celebrities and start saving our nation. Wake up Romans.

Conservatism was already defeated this election… in the primary.

Big S if you were a founding father of this nation, we’d still be under British rule.

Take it easy on the kool aid.

Apparently you do not live in a border state.

Think Progress

Yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) spoke to a “friendly audience” of business leaders about immigration policy, a topic he has been quiet on ever since the right wing erupted in rage over his support for the Senate’s i…

The Huckster is terrible on immigration. At least McCain is mostly honest about his wretched open-borders advocacy.

Whatever vonspringer. Just keep telling yourself that to ease the pain. He has introduced a plan to secure the border without amnesty. Thanks to many of you the American citizens won’t be getting a fence now.

“You have to secure the border and until that’s done, nothing makes sense. That ought to be done. It ought to be done with American workers, with American products, and it ought to be done immediately. 18 months ought to be the outside length of time. It’s an issue of national security, more than it is anything else.” — Mike Huckabee

Who has the more generous AMNESTY Plan for Illegal Aliens? Juan “Z-Visa” McCain or Barack Obama?

I would say they are close to equal. The fact that Obama is a registered democrat puts his as our direct opponent and we could fight his stance on immigration. The fact that McVain is a registered Republican (today) puts him as a Judas to the Conservatives in the Republican party and makes us look weak.

This guy is looking great to me as an alternative to this liberal madness. http://www.constitutionparty.com

I can’t take this much longer

And you guy’s would take McCain over life-long conservative Mike Huckabee. Unbelievable. How can you complain then.

John Hawkins has seen the light in regards to McCain:
Put very simply: John McCain is a liar. …
Popularity: unranked [?]……

Also, nothing about the phrase “comprehensive immigration reform” says “amnesty” to me. McCain actually talks about reviewing cases individually based on the merits, which would send the members of MS-13 packing, just to cite one hypothetical. What you would get from an unbridled Democratic majority in Congress, however, would be something much more akin to total amnesty. Failing to acknowledge this simple fact is a classic case of allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good enough.

Just my own opinions, of course. Your mileage may vary.

I will not vote for him.

different towns, cities, counties, whatever they are, implement different policies and different programs which makes things even worse and even more confusing.”

Amazingly, these confusing policies have caused little in the way of confusion and chaos for American citizens and legally documented aliens.

I think McCain has made a calculated decision that he can win without the conservatives. Every action of his reinforces my belief. He is not going to waste any energy courting “the base”. He actually believes he can draw enough votes from the left to take the election. (and he might be right)

Ideological conservatives are what, 20-30% of the electorate? Maybe he could have done it against Hillary, but if he thinks he can peel that many liberals or moderates away from the Obamessiah he’s delusional.

You people are out of your minds. You have no idea how bad things would be under a President Obama. Think Venezuela. Think Chile in the Allende years. Grow up.

Woohoo! Found one! And we’re being childish because we want our borders enforced…I love it! Thanks Hope…Let’s have a new cheer!

Obama sucks!
He wants to be Hugo C!
Vote McCain, or the United States will be a marxist dictatorship!
yay!

Hmm…rhythm is a bit off..I’ll work on it. Hey Hope, don’t you want to call us bigots? You didn’t call us bigots. You do know that anyone that opposes amnesty is a bigot, don’t you? Lindsey Graham says so.

Where are the rest of the Hot Air trolls?

This is an issue thread. They don’t argue issues. If the arguement can’t be answered ‘Obama is worse, McCain’s a vet, or Achmadinajad will be Obama’s Secretary of State’ they won’t answer period. Of course, I would have thought one of them would have started screaming ‘bigot’ by now since McCain is being criticized on amnesty. They namecall almost as well as liberals.
