Border Security & Immigration Reform


Immigration is one of those challenging issues that touch on many aspects of American life.

I have always believed that our border must be secure and that the federal government has utterly failed in its responsibility to ensure that it is secure. If we have learned anything from the recent immigration debate, it is that Americans have little trust that their government will honor a pledge to do the things necessary to make the border secure.

As president, I will secure the border. I will restore the trust Americans should have in the basic competency of their government. A secure border is an essential element of our national security. Tight border security includes not just the entry and exit of people, but also the effective screening of cargo at our ports and other points of entry.

But a secure border will contribute to addressing our immigration problem most effectively if we also:

Recognize the importance of building strong allies in Mexico and Latin America who reject the siren call of authoritarians like Hugo Chavez, support freedom and democracy, and seek strong domestic economies with abundant economic opportunities for their citizens.

Recognize the importance of pro-growth policies -- keeping government spending in check, holding down taxes, and cutting unnecessary regulatory burdens -- so American businesses can hire and pay the best.

Recognize the importance of a flexible labor market to keep employers in business and our economy on top. It should provide skilled Americans and immigrants with opportunity. Our education system should ensure skills for our younger workers, and our retraining and assistance programs for displaced workers must be modernized so they can pursue those opportunities

Recognize the importance of assimilation of our immigrant population, which includes learning English, American history and civics, and respecting the values of a democratic society.

Recognize that America will always be that "shining city upon a hill," a beacon of hope and opportunity for those seeking a better life built on hard work and optimism.

Border security and our failed immigration system are more examples of an ailing Washington culture in need of reform to regain the trust of Americans. In too many areas -- from immigration and pork barrel spending to Social Security, health care, energy security and tax relief -- business-as-usual politics prevents addressing the important challenges facing our nation.

Keep in mind Mccain is a supporter of the Dream act

Nope, Texan. You didn't miss a thing. This guy plans to turn us into Mexamerica.

I've been hearing such outrage from all the talk show radio programs I've been listening to, so it amazes me that McAmnesty is still such a viable candidate. What are we missing people??????? No one seems to want him. This feels like a Twilight Zone episode.

Maybe we're not making enough noise.

Remember....The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

This is his workplace enforcement policy:

Recognize the importance of pro-growth policies -- keeping government spending in check, holding down taxes, and cutting unnecessary regulatory burdens -- so American businesses can hire and pay the best.

Pro-growth--amnesty and open borders
cutting unnecessary regulatory burdens--cutting laws regulating who employers can hire, what benefits they must provide, (heck--why not bring back child labor!)
so American businesses can hire and pay the best (i.e. worker)----hire the "best worker" (illegal immigrants) to keep pay down, benefits down, and maxamize profit.

Welcome to the New World Order, it is just like the Twilight Zone. The Globalist Elite now control the transmission of information, do not attempt to adjust your television, they control the picture, the horizontal and the vertical. They control all we see and hear.

It is exactly like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I7vPbth ... re=related

Please people, we have to do more than reply on forums. While it is a good place to rant and seek support, we have to be vocal to get noticed.

We defeated the McCain amnesty plan by flooding "our" representatives with emails, faxes, phone calls, letters. Get busy. Most have email-send one or a hundred. We can't give up and let the liberal media force this down our throats.

I would give up my share of the stimulis package if all 150 billion dollars when to workplace enforcement, border security and more deportations.

If the economy is the issue, lets link job growth to jobs for Americans who should not have to compete with illegal foreigners. Link the health crisis to millions of poor uneducated migrants flooding into our country, link the growing credit crisis with illegals with no social security numbers getting mortages and credit cards.

Come on. We have some REAL ISSUES for ammunition. Lets fight before its too late !!!!!!!!! please?

He's a chronic liar in addition to being a condescending, self-righteous, elitist.
