McCain: why immigration "reform" is horrible for Mexico's people

Posted Fri, Aug 26, 2005 at 4:35 am

As we know, Arizona's John McCain co-sponsors an amnesty scheme with Teddy Kennedy. This plan will encourage millions of Mexican illegal aliens to stay in the U.S. And, it will encourage millions more to come in expectation of being a part of their amnesty (or a future "final amnesty.")

What impact has our lax immigration enforcement had on Mexico itself, and what impact would any of these amnesty plans have in the future?

Let's turn to McCain himself for that answer:

"We have a national interest in improving the Mexican economy... We now have towns in Mexico that are devoid of young men because they've all come to the United States because they can't find work there."

Isn't that a bad thing? Shouldn't we try to encourage them to go home and build up their own country? Aren't we taking people from Mexico who could help reform that country?

Why would John McCain sponsor an amnesty that would just make that situation worse? Why do "liberals" support massive immigration rather than supporting governmental reform in Mexico? Why does John McCain do that? What would a real statesman do?

Why would John McCain say this? Because his stay in the Hanoi Hilton turned him in to a psyco. I know lots of survivors of Vietnamese "re-education" camps who also have mental problems.

""We have a national interest in improving the Mexican economy... We now have towns in Mexico that are devoid of young men because they've all come to the United States because they can't find work there."
Does McCain represent the State of Arizona or Mexico? Why do we have a national interest in importing millions of Mexicans into the US? Millions of low-skill workers do nothing to enhance US international competitiveness and retard technological innovation.McCain obviously has contempt for the vast majority of US citizens who want the immigration laws enforced. He supports the foolish war for "democracy" in Iraq but thinks the democratic rights of US citizens with respect to immigration law enforcementare nugatory.The Manchurian Candidate should start worrying more about helping his beleaguered constitutents and less about appeasing his Globalist corporate controllers.

Since we are smarter than everyone else, we should tell people what is best for them. Not enough people in Morelia but too many in Mexico City? Then we should direct Mexico to force people to move from Mexico City to Morelia. This way we can solve all the world's problems.

Letting individuals decide where they want to live certainly is a bad idea.
