Freedom Folks: John McCain Hears You...

Illegal aliens!

McCain, the Arizona Republican who is working in tandem with Democratic colleague Senator Edward Kennedy to win approval for a strong version of their McCain/Kennedy reform bill in the Senate this week, also stressed that the recent pro-immigration rallies in the U.S. are having a significant impact on the shape of the debate on Capitol Hill.

“With the kind of demonstrations taking place across America I think we will have a bill for President Bush to sign very soon,” McCain said to wild rounds of applause at St. Barnabas church in the Irish enclave of Woodlawn. “The American people are yearning for those of us in Washington to reach across the aisle and act in the best interests of the nation on this issue, instead of fighting about it.”

No, he REALLY hears you...

“It’s really something else,” he stated. “Senator Mel Martinez from Florida said to me that this issue has galvanized his state in a way he has never seen in his life. We’ve never seen anything quite like this. There were 200,000 people demonstrating in Phoenix, and the sheriff in LA told me the march there attracted close to 750,000 people. We’ve never seen this kind of active participation in the process.”

"Participation in the process?"

The real question is: how many of those folks were illegal aliens? Because they can simply be removed from the equation. They have no right of redress in this country. No matter how strongly they may feel about an issue it simply doesn't matter. It is of no consequence.

A friend of ours after the protests commented to me "how impressive the marches were."

I asked her how many of the marchers she thought were illegal? Most, she responded. I said then remove them from the picture, like a photoshop and imagine how many are left. As a sane lefty she actually got it, they may get away with being here illegally, but that gives them precisely zero input into our political system.

If they want to have an influence in politics they are in luck, there is a country directly south of us who'd just love to hear what they have to say. Us? not so much.

The true irony is that Mexicans would never stand for this kind of shit in their own country.

Thanks for "hearing" your favorite people John, you worthless sack of crap. I don't know the exact steps required for one who has served his country admirably in a time of war to undo his entire history? But "The Patron Saint Of Mexicans" is there in spades!

But then again I wonder who he sees as his constituency as he makes his run for president...

“This kind of reception is enough to make a guy want to run for President of the United States,” said McCain, after the illegal aliens gave him a standing ovation.
