McCain Blames Conservatives for Immigration Bill's Failure

Submitted by Mark, Jun 12, 2007 13:11

What is it about the illegal invasion from the south that our representatives don't understand? No other sovereign country in the world would tolerate this en masse invasion of under educated, non- innoculated, who knows what else hoard of desperados. Yes, we need their assistance in keeping the economy humming but it MUST be done in an orderly, verifiable fashion. Nothing can be accomplished without first CLOSING THE SOUTHERN BORDER to everyone. Once that is controlled, visas can be given to those who are screened and who are NEEDED BY US. We must hold our representatives feet to the fire on this and not allow them, and by default "we the people" to be manipulated by special interests and big business. This is our country - these are our representatives - and to those who would call me nativist and anti-illegal immigrant, you are right. I've had enough. It's time to reclaim our land and our heritage. Enough.
