Shamnesty John McCain is back in full force: No, he never “got the message”

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 22, 2008 07:23 PM

First, my friends, a reminder of what was printed right here on January 23, 2008:

After spearheading a disastrous, security-undermining illegal alien amnesty bill last year with Teddy Kennedy, “straight-talking” GOP Sen. John McCain claims he has seen the light. In TV appearances, he vows to put immigration enforcement first. On the campaign trail, he offers a perfunctory promise to strengthen border security and emphasizes the need to restore Americans’ trust in their government’s ability to defend the homeland.

I got the message,” he told voters in South Carolina. “We will secure the borders first.”

But how can McCain cure citizens’ distrust when his own credibility on the issue remains fatally damaged? He doesn’t believe his own election-year spin. And he knows we know it. This is cynicism on steroids with a speedball chaser.

Not all of us have forgotten how the short-fused Arizona senator cursed good-faith opponents in his own party (“F**k you!” and “Chickensh*t” were the choice words he had for Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn during a spat over enforcement provisions). Not all of us have forgotten that he voted against barring felons from receiving amnesty benefits under his plan. Not all of us have forgotten the underhanded, debate-sabotaging manner in which McCain/Kennedy/Graham/Harry Reid conspired to ram their package down voters’ throats.

His admission of the shamnesty failure is grudging and bitter. While he now tells conservative voters what they want to hear about the need to build the southern border fence, he takes a contemptuous tone toward physical barriers when talking to businessmen. “By the way, I think the fence is least effective,” he told executives in Milwaukee, according to a recent Vanity Fair profile. “But I’ll build the goddamned fence if they want it.” Straight talk? Try hate talk.

For all his supposed, newfound enlightenment about what most Americans want—protection against invasion, commitment to the rule of law, meaningful employer sanctions, an end to sanctuary cities, enforcement-by-attrition plus deportation reform, and an end to special illegal alien benefits that invite more law-breaking–The Maverick remains a Geraldo Rivera Republican. Like the ethnocentric cable TV host who can’t string a sentence about immigration together without drowning in emotional demagoguery, McCain naturally resorts to open-borders platitudes when pressed for enforcement specifics.

And, now, straight from the campaign trail with Arnold “Move Left” Schwarzenegger, McCain has shed every last pretense that he “got the message” from grass-roots immigration enforcement proponents and is back to his full, open-borders shamnesty push. No surprise to any of you. But his complete regression back to the “comprehensive immigration reform” euphemism is a notable milestone.

Also, you don’t need to guess anymore how he would have voted on the Feinstein/Craig illegal alien farmworker amnesty:

Republican presidential candidate John McCain joined Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in calling today for comprehensive immigration reform, including guest worker visas to bring employees to California’s Silicon Valley and the state’s vast agricultural fields.

The two men brought up the issue at McCain’s prompting during a global competitiveness roundtable featuring California technology executives and entrepreneurs.

Asked by Silicon Valley panelists on what he would do to grant more visa for skilled technology workers, McCain broadly advocated the comprehensive immigration reform plan he had backed with Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy in Congress.

The same issue brought McCain intense criticism during the Republican presidential primary from conservatives who assailed him as soft on illegal immigration and an advocate of amnesty.

But today McCain, the now presumptive GOP presidential nominee, said an immigration program is needed that protects America’s borders and national security. While he called for punishing employers who hire illegal immigrants, he also advocated a humane approach that treats illegal workers as “God’s children.”

McCain said they should be allowed to seek legal status in a “humane and comprehensive fashion” through a program “they can count on and trust.”

Responding to a question about so-called H1-B visas for Silicon Valley workers, McCain said: “We have to attract the best and brightest minds. It isn’t just H1-B visas. In our agricultural sector, they can’t find workers as well. We need a temporary agriculture (worker) program.”

Schwarzenegger echoed McCain’s remarks after the Arizona senator asked his opinion on the topic.

“We need to change the system. All this is part of a comprehensive immigration reform. You can’t piecemeal this thing,” Schwarzenegger said.

While the governor said, “securing the border is extremely important” to California he added: “You have to have the courage to do this kind of immigration reform so we can bring people into this country legally.”

Schwarzenegger said he supported a pathway to legal status so that more people can have “legal drivers licenses” and “everyone would have bank accounts…and there would be background checks so that there would be no criminal element in this country.”

Same old, same old about sham background checks.

Been there, done that.

They’ve learned nothing. Nada. Zippo. How about you?

***

More from the NYT:

“Senator Kennedy and I tried very hard to get immigration reform, a comprehensive plan, through the Congress of the United States,” he said. “It is a federal responsibility and because of our failure as a federal obligation, we’re seeing all these various conflicts and problems throughout our nation as different towns, cities, counties, whatever they are, implement different policies and different programs which makes things even worse and even more confusing.”

He added: “I believe we have to secure our borders, and I think most Americans agree with that, because it’s a matter of national security. But we must enact comprehensive immigration reform. We must make it a top agenda item if we don’t do it before, and we probably won’t, a little straight talk, as of January 2009.”

Maybe when he loses the election it will hit him, but barring a Congressman’s kid being killed by an illegal they will keep trying to shove this down our throat.

    Hey Ahhnold,(and your buddy McCain too), looks you’ve permanently fallen into the “stuck on stupid” category. Per the California cost per pupil stat above, it will take an illegal immigrant couple an income of $183,000 per year (check the tax code) to pay for ONE of their children to attend
    public school (this doesn’t even include health and social services.) Your running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off looking for gimmicks to balance the state budget. Maybe you should get a reality check, or resign.

    Hey Arnold and John how about not giving away our country to foreigners? I would not even pay attention to what ahnuld sez he’s proven, continues to prove that he’s an imbecile. You thought his English was bad well now you can see his understanding of American history is just as bad. I have an idea lets bring in new citizens who don’t want to be citizens give them our jobs our medical care and of course welfare it wouldn’t be America without food stamps. Lets let them be 30 or so percent of the general population and 70 percent of the jail population. Lets let them molest our kids drive drunk live 5 or more families in an apartment and send their money home to, you know, feed their other family down there.

    These clowns say that family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande. Oh yeah? Tell me folks would you sneak in to Mexico and then leave your kids there if they kicked you out? Didn’t think so. Sorry to say but the best thing these two could do for America is drop dead. I know that sounds weally mean but it isn’t not to the future generations that these losers are selling out today. Number one reason im getting out of the state is the rise in crime, don’t let them fool you with statistics many of us won’t call the cops anymore. You see they don’t want to upset them by enforcing the law so we have a choice, criminals or cops, cops or criminals. People are being shot on LA freeways the cops in their helicopter got shot at last night. Yes this is the world the authorities have created for all of us so now some who can are making another choice, Iraq or California, California or Iraq?

At this point I can honestly say I don’t trust him to choose conservative judges (he might cause someone across the aisle to frown and/or make a very sad face).

    I came up with this Primary voting plan and I truly think it is the best plan we could have:

    Have 3 months for debates, vetting, etc. and then have all State Primaries on the same day, open only to registered voters of a particular party.

    Have a ballot that lists the candidates and the order of preference so that when one receives insufficient votes, the vote is then given to the next in preference. That way, nobodies votes go anywhere they don’t belong.

    If we did this, we wouldn’t end up with a McCain candidacy!

    And all States will count and it won’t be this long drawn-out crap.

    I’m not sure if McCain hates us exactly, but paraphrasing Sally Field: “He doesn’t like us! He really, really doesn’t like us!!”

    In terms of domestic policy, since both he and Obama are ignoramuses when it come to economics, I expect both of them to have identical domestic policies, though there may be some timing differences: I would expect Obama to introduce reparations in the first two years of his presidency and McCain to introduce it the last two years — in the vain hope of bribing black voters to vote for him in 2012.

    I’ve noticed that pretty much everyone has given up on the “he will appoint conservative judges” rubbish.

    As for foreign policy, the two may be coming closer than you think. McCain has already backed far away from his 100 years presence commitment to Iraq to withdrawing all troops by 2013. I guess he presumes that by that year Iran will no longer be a threat. Cue the theme from Fantasy Island.

    And the difference from Obama is? It is entirely possible that it will make no difference whatever who is elected in 2008. Are you ready for President McComa?

    Yeah, we’re screwed big time.

    All I can say is….NO-NO-NO-NO-NO!!!!
    The future of the Conservative movement cannot be sullied by the likes of this Repubocrat.

    We need to let the libs figure out who is going to Carter this nation for the next four years and in the meantime nuture those who have not lost their way (Paul Ryan, Jindal, etc.) and bring more of their type into the fold.

    That means going to cast your votes in November. I’ll write in Mitt most likely (even if he is in the VP slot).

    This is the time for a valid third party. This is the time for a real conservative candidate. McCain’s pissed off conservatives. Obama and Clinton have pissed off conservatives. Loony bin candidates have come out of the wood-works like Ron Paul (seriously, someone elected that man?).

    The electorate will be seriously fractured this year. I doubt that either major party will be able to stir its base much. McCain leaves Republicans with NOTHING to get excited about, only Dems to vote agains. The Democrats, bless their souless beings, have intentionally inflicted a no-win situation on themselves, and will be faced with either an ethnic or sexist problem before November. This is the time to strike as a coherent, middle-ground, middle-America platform.

    We’ve told the Dems that we don’t want their ideas. We’ve told the Republicans to stick with conservative values. Neither party is listening. They’re tuned-out. We need to hit them like a tornado, deny them money, set up our party, and get a real horse into this race. Who’s with me on this idea?

    At this point I could care less if it were Mitt Romney running, or Fred Thompson… at least both of them have done actual WORK in their lives. That’s something which CANNOT be said for ANY of the three we’ve got on the national stage right now!

    But today McCain, the now presumptive GOP presidential nominee, said an immigration program is needed that protects America’s borders and national security. While he called for punishing employers who hire illegal immigrants, he also advocated a humane approach that treats illegal workers as “God’s children.”

    You mean you can’t be one of “God’s children” back in Mexico where you came from? Is that racist or something?

    McCain said they should be allowed to seek legal status in a “humane and comprehensive fashion” through a program “they can count on and trust.”

    And we should be able to elect a president, particularly a presumed Republican candidate, that we can “count on and trust.”

    There is a way to seek legal status in a humane and comprehensive fashion: it is called getting in the back of the line in your home country and entering this one LEGALLY!

    He will rise to power on a platform of “change” and “hope”. His personal charisma will sway the masses, and put him into power.

    Then, about 2 years into his rule, he begins letting slip his “Messianic” tendencies, and believes the world’s masses should worship him. In 2012, Armaggedon begins.

    In other words, we need a citizen’s action to force a McCain pledge on fiveissues we hold dear. As the signatures mount from various websites, the GOP candidate MAY decide he needs his base. It could also be a source of campaign finance for down ticket candidates we like.

    I am telling you fellow conservatives, McCain’s strategy is to go after Dem voters, not even just independents. He will try to show he and the GOP do not need conservatives to WIN, he HATES US. So, what should we do to show him without conservatives, the GOP is dead? I strongly believe that McCain will be very bad for the future of conservatives if he wins.

    Dear Gentle Reader, Mr. Vince,

    Quite likely, you are the only reader who considers another expose of the CRAPWEASEL McCain to be an exercise in swoop-down badmouthing.

    Perhaps you would like to tell eveyone who YOU are voting for. Thank you.

    Fiona said McCain’s new slogan could be: ‘Vote McCain. At least he’s not the Antichrist.’.

    I think you’d get points for that.

    LOL. Thanks.

    Here’s a great article about McCain by a former Congressman (IIRC, he & JM were in the House at the same time):

    The more we vote for the lesser of two evils, the further left we slide and we’ll NEVER get a truly conservative candidate again.

    Our current laws would be just fine if they were enforced.

    We are witnessing the gool old Washington Two Step. Pass laws to address a problem. While the laws were passed to reflect the will of the electorate, the enforcement of those laws is not politically expedient.

    Withhold funding for law enforcement, while the original problem not only continues but grows out of control. When it reaches critical mass, point out that the existing laws are not working and the system is broken, with the only soultion being a whole new set of laws that reflects the “realities” of the present situation.

    McCain has been part of the problem in not enforcing out existing laws for well over 20 years. It was he and others who allowed this to become the issue it is today. And guess what? There is no assurance that he or other elected officials will fund the enforcement of a new set of laws. In fact, there is precedent to suggest that Congress will continue doing what it wants despite voters wishes. When Reagan was arm twisted into supporting amnesty, he did so based on the promise that amnesty was a one time deal. Congress would never allow the situation to get to the point to where the country had to consider that as an alternative again. And here we are, again.

    Yes, illegals are God’s children. Their souls belong to God, but their asses belong to someone other than the US.

    I can never wrap my mind around the logic of the pro-Illegal Alien crowd.

    If US citizens do the same job, it would cost too much. At the same time I’m supposed to believe that by making these illegal aliens US citizens that these “new citizens” won’t demand the same wages and benefits as any OTHER US citizen ? Could you expect our “new citizens” (or the ACLU) to continue to work on the cheap ?

    Just hire US citizens !

    Once the illegal aliens get amnesty, it’s just as economically sound to hire current US citizens.

    I’m neither a brain surgeon nor a rocket scientist, nor do I play one on TV…..Just sayin’…..

    The visualization just about had me wetting my pants laughing, but putting that aside, so what? McCain IS a lying POS and is well deserving of our derision. The fact that he is so despised by his own party speaks volumes, does it not? Democrats like Vince should be praising us for being able to see through his lies and not being blinded by the R next to McCain’s name. Then again, making such a statement would make them look kind of foolish in light of the Obamessiah..

    He will try to show he and the GOP do not need conservatives to WIN, he HATES US. So, what should we do to show him without conservatives, the GOP is dead? I strongly believe that McCain will be very bad for the future of conservatives if he wins. I will do what it reasonably takes to save conservatism and ensure a MCCain defeat. #111

    This is my concern, too. It’s one thing for a Dem to get elected w/out Conservatives, but if a Repub were to do so, it would be taken as proof by TPTB that Conservatism Is Dead. This would be devastating for Conservatism, and-more importantly-for the country.

    I think McCain has decided that he’s safe in flipping the bird to Conservatives b/c Obama is such a far-left candidate that ultimately only those on the far-left will vote for BO.

    The odd thing about this public pro-amnesty stance, though, is that the polls show that it’s not just Cons who are against it, but the majority of the nation. So, he’s either misreading the polls, or he’s decided that the benefits of being avowedly pro-amnesty outweigh the risk of alienating about 70% of the country. Strange…

    Who are you voting for Malkin?

    I’m voting for Tom Tancredo, Vinny. Reality is: all three of the current crop of front runners are garbage, and are going to take the country down the sewer. At least I can go to sleep at night, knowing I didn’t perpetuate it.

    As Cameron said in Ferris Bueller, “I gotta take a stand.”

    What do you stand for Vinny? And don’t call her Malkin. Show our host a little respect Tinkerbell.
