McCain Flirting With Immigration Reform Support

Graham, McCain flirting with immigration reform support:

By Liz Goodwin

Two Republican senators who took a hard right turn against immigration reform last spring are signaling they may be prepared to revisit comprehensive immigration reform in the new Congress.

Of course, the GOP-controlled House would most likely never pass an immigration bill erecting a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants. But GOP Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina are nonetheless hinting that the Senate may attempt reform anyway.

Graham told Politico's Carrie Budoff Brown he is again in talks with New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, though he said their plans are in the "infant stage." McCain said yesterday on CNN he would consider immigration reform once the border is secure. (A deadline that translates, in all likelihood, to Congress first passing the "10-point" border security bill that he and his home-state GOP senate colleague John Kyl have put forward to send 3,000 troops to the border). Republican Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, said in an interview that McCain, once a champion of reform, told him "that there's a shot at this."

Southern Baptist Convention leader Rev. Richard Land, a conservative supporter of comprehensive immigration reform, says the move would be more effective if led by new faces. He suggested newly elected GOP Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. Rubio's spokesman Alex Burgos tells The Lookout that the senator "doesn't belieeve that amnesty is the correct solution to this challenge," and would vote against comprehensive immigration reform.

Ah John McCain!! Always the fork tongued weasel, he never changes. JD Hayworth called it right, as soon as he was re-elected he would push amnesty again. It's exactly what he is getting ready to do right now. I wish he would retire, we are all sick of him. If he had been elected President he would be leading the charge on amnesty. He makes me sick to look at him.

Here's the whole article.

BINGO! How long did we say it would take?

W

When Senator McCain was running to become Senator again not to many months ago he talked about how much he supports laws against undocumented aliens. Possibly, the reason he were reselected.

What happen since he became a reselected Senator?

Arizona deserves what they have in the US Congress. Why did they vote for this SOB?

Arizona had a chance to get rid of this Progressive RINO and may have screwed us all

You broke it Arizona; you fix it; reign in your Crack Head

Whaaat? What happened to "build the danged fence"? I'm shocked Mr McStain would flip flop like this! :roll:

What the @&%# did you expect? Until there is another industrial revolution in this country the demand for labor will continue. I'm sure the farmers still haven't figured out what they are going to do to modernize their operations. The Republican businesspeople who paid for our new Congress are going to want pay back. The illegal aliens are hunkered down in their burger-flippin' jobs, stayin' just under the radar. The American kids have moved back home, since Obama will cover them with healthcare to age 26, which won't get repealed anyway.

I'm a Southern Baptist, so keep that in mind when I declare that the Southern Baptist Convention should lose its 501 C 3 not-for-profit, tax-exempt status because of the statements and positions put forth by its President, Richard Land. If he's only speaking about himself and not the Convention, then he needs to so declare and resign as President so he can be replaced with someone who abides the tax law for 501 C 3 organizations which means thou shalt not use the organization to lobby or influence legislation.

Lobbying


In general, no organization may qualify for section 501(c)(3) status if a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation (commonly known as lobbying). A 501(c)(3) organization may engage in some lobbying, but too much lobbying activity risks loss of tax-exempt status.

Legislation includes action by Congress, any state legislature, any local council, or similar governing body, with respect to acts, bills, resolutions, or similar items (such as legislative confirmation of appointive office), or by the public in referendum, ballot initiative, constitutional amendment, or similar procedure. It does not include actions by executive, judicial, or administrative bodies.

An organization will be regarded as attempting to influence legislation if it contacts, or urges the public to contact, members or employees of a legislative body for the purpose of proposing, supporting, or opposing legislation, or if the organization advocates the adoption or rejection of legislation.

Organizations may, however, involve themselves in issues of public policy without the activity being considered as lobbying. For example, organizations may conduct educational meetings, prepare and distribute educational materials, or otherwise consider public policy issues in an educational manner without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status.

Furthermore why would Land suggest that Rubio should lead the way for comprehensive immigration reform when Rubio is clearly against immigration reform and amnesty??!!

Juan McAmnesty met recently with Barry Soetoro and afterwards stated that since Barry Soetoro had become a "centrist" that it would be easier to work with him on some issues. As soon as i heard this rhetoric I immediately knew that they had discussed a way to get amnesty done.

How gullible or just plain ignorant does an electorate have to be to re-elect the likes of Juan McAmnesty and Lindsissy Grahamnesty over and over? You can't do it if you're paying attention.

Now this is just my humble opinion folks, but I think in hindsight that the North Vietnamese dealt this country a terrible blow by returning this little traitor to our shores. There is a lot of telling stuff about him at vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com .....I think that some of the families of other pows from that era would agree with me.

Thankfully he wasn't elected President, otherwise amnesty would have probably already happened.

It made me sick watching McCain's campaign in the primary.
I volunteered for JD Hayworth, opponent, against McCain.
McCain got to the early voters with his double talk.
He did this before volunteers for Hayworth got the calls in.
I often heard "Gee, I'm sorry I voted for McCain, had you told
me earlierabout I would not have voted for him."
A well run campaign of lies by McCain.

Hey, any of you mod-edit Arizona voters who drank Juan McAmnesty's Primary Kool-Aid: Don't tell me you didn't see this coming! McAmnesty screwed you again... he really ... really ... really... promised not to do it but he just can't help himself! Illegal aliens are near and near to his heart. You American citizens who want your communities safe and your job market protected can just Go Pound Sand ..and there's a LOT of sand in the Grand Canyon State! There are half a million illegals in AZ and Ol' One-Note Juan wants amnesty for each and evey one of "God's children!" Apparently he's forgotten that most of them are MEXICO's unwanted children and they're happy to drop them on our doorstep, with help from pandering pol's like Juan.

I think the citizens of AZ should flirt with a recall.

I agree!

"mod-edit Arizona voters"

"How gullible or just plain ignorant?"

"Arizona deserves what they have in the US Congress. Why did they vote for this SOB?"

"Arizona had a chance to get rid of this Progressive RINO and may have screwed us all
You broke it Arizona; you fix it; reign in your Crack Head."

"Arizona deserves what they have in the US Congress. Why did they vote for this SOB?"

"What the @&%# did you expect?"

I would think that no Arizona resident and member here at ALIPAC that voted last November, cast their vote for John McCain, or trust John McCain.
And have always been very troubled with his pro-illegal and traitorous NON representation of us.

Any representative that claim they will talk about "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" once the borders are secure?

This is the stance of many of our so called allies on Illegal Immigration.

Governor elect Jan Brewer said the same thing.

Is McCain a traitorous enabler of illegal aliens? Of course he is.
Does John McCain represent us on securing the Southwest border?
We demand that. Do I trust him? Nope!
Does John McCain represent the majority when it comes to Amnesty?
Of course not!
Is he dangerous? Is Lindsey Graham dangerous? Of course.

Do I fear them?

Of course I don't! If they try again. Which I doubt. They will Fail!
Do they want to Fail AGAIN? I doubt it.

Just my opinion. What is the definition of Insanity? I know, I know.
John McCain and Lindsey Graham! :roll:

Recall is an Absolute if McCain is so ignorant AGAIN ReggieMay!

We will never allow politicians to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. NEVER.

Yeah...Too bad J.D. was such an a**hole that the people of AZ definitely didn't want him in there either....

Wouldn't it be more productive if everyone here would band together and support each other rather than writing off AZ as a lost cause? Not everyone here voted for McCain, I surely didn't, but I have to live with it hard as it is.

And, yes Airdale, I will sign a recall petition if one starts!

As for these responses:
"Arizona deserves what they have in the US Congress. Why did they vote for this SOB?"

"Arizona had a chance to get rid of this Progressive RINO and may have screwed us all
You broke it Arizona; you fix it; reign in your Crack Head."

"Arizona deserves what they have in the US Congress. Why did they vote for this SOB?"

"What the @&%# did you expect?"

This makes me feel "What's the point...Why bother responding....You're minds are made up...."

It will take many more Senators than just Juan to pass this through Congress.....Think about it.....
