Lies And The Lying Pols Who Tell Them

John McCain is lying...

"Amnesty is forgiveness," McCain, R-Ariz., told "Good Morning America." "This is payment of a fine. This is admission of guilt. … This is earned citizenship, that's what it is."

A bipartisan group of senators voted, 12-6, to approve the sweeping legislation that would allow immigrants who were in the United States before 2004 to become citizens if they pay $2,000 in fines, pass a background check, learn English, and work for six years. New immigrants — "guest workers" — would need temporary work visas, and would also be eligible for legal permanent residency after six years.

"There are 11 million people here illegally, many of them have been here for 40 or 50 years," McCain said. "The only way you solve the problem is to punish those who have come here illegally — and it is a severe punishment — but at the same time give them an opportunity for citizenship if they fulfill very serious obligations."

"Severe Punishment?" Has he been drinking again? This is less than a legal immigrant would pay! And I have a funny feeling easier than what we put our legal immigants through!

Back me up on this Gunner.
