No friend to Latinos on immigration
September 17, 2008
As they recall the failure of immigration reform in Congress, Democrats want to come off as the good guys.

This means burying the fact that their patrons in organized labor instructed them to kill any compromise that included guest workers – a concept AFL-CIO President John Sweeney termed “a bad idea (that) harms all workers.â€

Comprehensive immigration reform was blocked not by Democrats but by Republicans

Praise the Lord!

McCain is dead wrong on this. The Democrats weren't attempting to kill their beloved comprehensive immigration reform with poison pills. What they were trying to do was maneuver their way into getting everything they wanted. They were attempting to do what McCain is doing now, play both sides of the fence. Thank goodness most of McCain's Republican peers in the U.S. Congress don't feel as he does on the issue of illegal immigration.
