If the lying political crowd think the American people will allow the issue to die so they can pass an amnesty bill, they had better watch their butts, because they are going to get KICKED and KICKED hard in that place if they try any funny stuff. We welcome new citizens in accordance with THE LAWS. and ILLEGALS should be moved the very REAR of any line that forms, no matter what jobs Americans are not willing to take. You got that, bozos?

I wonder how a conversation between Abraham Lincoln and JMac ("Dogleg McCain") might go. Maybe something like this.... JMac: Our "comprehensive immigration reform" does not have an amnesty for undocumented immigrants. It is an "earned legalization." Besides, it is essential to understand that they will have to pay a monetary fine as punishment for their behavior. That in itself makes it a not-an-amnesty. Lincoln: JMac, how many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? JMac: Five Lincoln: No, four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg. You can fool some of the people all of the time.... JMac (interrupting): Point taken. Its an amnesty. Besides, Teddy will fix this "monetary fine" thing right after the legalization. We just thought the American people might trust us. Lincoln: Hard to believe. And the "undocumented immigrants" label? JMac: A euphemism to make the amnesty look like a final small step in a process already pretty much completed. We think we can fool enough of the people some of the time. Lincoln: And if the people stop your legislation again? JMac (thinking out loud): We have the courts. We think the Homestead Act or squatters rights may apply here. Kind of like common law marriage. Maybe "common law citizenship." With the right set of Supreme Court justices we could get this done. Lincoln: And if the people reject it? JMac: I am commander-in-chief of the military if the people get out of hand. We are a nation of laws you know.

All the talk about energy independence is just that. If the candidates were serious, mass immigration would be coming to an end in very short order. Talk, talk, talk.

IF Senator McCain is elected President AND he presses this issue (like the Lincoln/JMac conversation, below), I would quickly favor a recall election and we may see the first female President with the "promotion" of the Governer of Alaska. In Arizona alone, there are more than 10,000 illegals a week entering from Mexico. Illegals will bankrupt this country, with free service and the 3rd world illnesses they bring with them.
