McCain: Immigration reform won’t hurt the GOP at the polls
“I think it’s going to be OK, as long as they are satisfied we have effective control over our border,” he told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley on “State of the Union.”…
That plan includes a pathway to citizenship that hinges on bolstering border security, something McCain said was necessary and supported by the American people.
“Just because they broke the law doesn’t mean they’re condemned forever to a twilight status,” he said. “I believe that most Americans feel that for these people who have come illegally, as long as they pay back taxes, pay a fine, learn English and get behind everybody else, that’s a key element of it. And most Americans now realize we can’t have 11 million people sit in the twilight, the shadows of America, forever.”

No fixing necessary. He’s been posting stupid crap for awhile now.

Like you? Cause you don’t post stupid crap..
I have a long memory for posters that spout vile shite.
You are one of them. Your comment about Trig is not forgotten. You hid like a coward.
I highly disagree with JTL on this but he is a decent poster. IMO.

And don’t forget his mini-me, Marco “earnesty” Orwell, the Borker.

You think not? Okay, keep pushing this ‘comprehensive reform’ crap and I’ll get pushed into the L.I.B. faction of the party. No longer will I consider Republicans as representing my concerns. It will be time to move on.

Many here in Florida and a booming population is Puerto Ricans..legal,common wealth.
No English. That is not gonna change.
The fight here for bi-lingual class rooms ect..
is well underway. They have established their own communities and don’t care to learn it.
The issue is greater then just illegals,when speaking about language.
but that is another topic for another day.
Lets just make them a state!
