Answer 1

John McCain has been bought & paid for by mexico (as has our president & some of the "elected class - big money in drugs as you know) - too bad for Americans that the Vietnamese didn't kill him when they had a chance!

Answer 2

I think he is like a lot of other people, has a tendency to drift whichever way the wind blows...

I think the border issue and illegal immigration are big problems of themselves, and intertwined as well. The basic point is that the world has changed, and what worked before needs to be reexamined to see if it still works today. I support the border fence, as well as employer enforcement. I think the cities that've talked about passing local ordinances are on the right track, some city councilmen have stated they're 'doing the job that washington won't do', or words to that effect, the general consensus is that Congress has been reluctant to grab this one by the horns. But, trace it back: Congress is all elected ,right?
So, if people don't read and study about what's going on themselves, and they vote unthinkingly or worse yet don't vote at all, then Congress gets no good feedback from the voters. Part of that is intentional, if you take some time to read about lobbyists...

Well, garbage in, garbage out, which is why I think there needs to be more studied and learned about the issue, and there need to be more forums in which to work out this problem and figure out good methods for dealing with illegal immigration. I hope McCain listens to the public and supports having immigration laws observed, upheld, and enforced if need be. I think one way to approach the entire business would be through welfare reform, as in 'get rid of a lot of welfare', and get people out there working. Businesses with plenty of employees won't be tempted to go 'south of the border' etc.

Alternatively, you can just learn spanish, and not speak/act, and
eventually we'll just watch a lot of the money wash right out of the USA, because nature hates a vacuum...personally, I'd rather see the border fence built, and a 'no bullshit' approach taken on immigration...

Answer 3

I don't think John McCain is necessarily "part of the problem."

I just punched up some numbers, and it looks like less than 5% of Americans are illegal immigrants. I wouldn't say that it's fair to call this a "war on the borders," much less to state specific statistics about crime rates among illegal immigrants. They're just a group for politicians to demonise when campaigns get rough. You should be especially skeptical of assertions that hospitals are "overrun" by illegal immigrants.

On the other side of the debate are allegations that it is inherently difficult to know the numbers of illegal aliens. Also of concern are human trafficking, smuggling of drugs and other illegal goods, etc., which are more pressing issues.

Answer 4

I had a lot of respect for McCain. The last few years he has done many things which have caused me to no longer feel that way. He has become a true politician and will has done some things that make me think he is willing to compromise the man I thought he was in order to become President.

Answer 5

It's getting hard to tell what his positions are on issues.
