McCain says he's more compassionate than people wanting mass illegal immigrant deportation

CLEMSON, SC (AP) - Illegal immigration is the question that keeps nagging presidential hopeful John McCain during his visit to South Carolina.

During an appearance at Clemson University Wednesday, a student described himself as a child of legal immigrants and asked McCain if he favored massive deportation for those in the nation illegally.

McCain says the public wouldn't bite on any overhaul until the nation's borders are secure. And he says there's no easy way to deal with a projected 12 million illegal immigrants in the country already.

That wasn't good enough for the student, who told McCain that his parents waited in line. He wanted punishment.

McCain says he's not in favor of deporting everyone here illegally. McCain says he's more compassionate, giving the example of an 80-year-old woman with grandchildren serving in Iraq.

How many people did it take to search and find this situation - if it's real.

I'll bet government workers are logging in a lot of overtime scouring the records for all these sob stories - are creating them out of thin air.

I saw McCain on Charlie Rose.He does not have a clue and thinks we object to giving amnesty because the government has not secured our borders.

He made a point to say we need to be more compassionate.So I think every attorney needs to quote him when a citizen is charged with ID theft or drunk driving or driving without a license & insurance !!

Mccain and Bush are two "compassionate conservative" pro-amnesty peas in a pod.Imo there's not much difference in Hillary and Mccain, since they both want amnesty and are social liberals.Put Huckabee in that same catagory.

Good thing no one listens to McCain any way !!!

McCain says he's more compassionate than people wanting mass illegal immigrant deportation

But people wanting mass illegal immigrant deportation are more compassionate about the welfare of American citizens who are harmed by illegal immigration. And Americans are the ones we need to be compassionate for.

McCain needs to worry about being compassionate to the Americans who elected his to protect them rather than being compassionate to foreign citizens who have come to the USA illegally.

Oh hush!

Nobody's listening to you anyway.

The only thing he is passionate about is the profits his wife makes selling illegals Budwiser beer!!

Stop and think, how is this even possible?

The kids would have to be at least 18 and have a green card or be citizens to serve. How can they have green cards but she doesn't? Forget that.

If they were anchor babies, the grandmother would have had to come here at least 35 years ago. Well they had a general amnesty 20 years ago, so forget that.

That means she entered illegally sometime after she was 60 years old! That very hard to believe.

Beware of "compassionate" politicians!
