McCain will pander to the illegal alien lobby at his own electoral peril. This salient issue is enough to vault Libertarian Bob Barr to 5-10 per cent in key States such as Georgia, Florida and Texas. And it is highly problematic that McCain could attract enough Latino welfarist votes to offset that conservative hemmorrhage. The article notes that the radical Latinos are trying to effect a news media censorship of coverage of the issue. They know they are losing the debate, so they want to shut down the free expression of ideas. That may work in Hugo Chavez's socialist Venezuela, but not here.

Racist, militant Hispanic organizations like La Raza that would destroy this country-great McCain and Obama-pander to them. The founder of La RAZA said in 1969 "We must kill the gringo-if worst comes to worse we must kill them....the blank blank have spilled enough of our blood and we will make them pay"

Actually I am part Mexican, a couple of Mexican family members immigrated to California years ago (legally), they learned the language, they worked hard, they did well. Our country is in trouble right now with an aging work force, we have not produced enough children to replace ourselves and that is a problem. So some Mexican immigration is a welcome solution. I like McCain's approach that if you keep your nose clean, work, and pay taxes you may be able to stay. We need to keep good workers, we need to deport criminals and radicals. We need to also not judge all Mexicans by their worst representatives.

Again, the racist LaRaza group tries to paint those who want our laws enforced as "anti-Latino". Nothing could be further from the truth, but that type of rhetoric is used to energize their constituency. If successful, the illegal latinos in the US will become the largest government-dependent group we have ever seen. If our laws are upheld and LaRaza's ideas repudiated, the legal latinos that are here have the potential to become the best group of immigrants that have ever immigrated to the US.

In responsonce to Vicky remarks. You said it yourself "deport criminals." Well ANYONE who comes here ILLEGALY is a CRIMINAL, they have broken the laws of our country and they need to leave the country. I welcome anyone who come here LEAGALY and wants to become an American. So we need to have a border fence and have employment verifacation to stop anyone who comes here ILLEAGALY from being able to work and just walk accross the border. It will be interesting to see what McCain says to LaRaza. Because the way that I see it he can not please LaRaza and please those of us who want the illeagal not be here.

What is needed in immigration is a grand, principled compromise. It needs to expedite the processing of those who are here legally to full citizenship, economic development plans are needed for Mexico, first, to build a water/sewer, and electrical system that can facilitate broad-band acess, a strong border control defense with up to two military bases at the border to develop three dimensional enforcement, a plan to stratify those illegal aliens in America on such parameters as knowledge of English, the ability to engage in remunerative enterprise, how their children are doing school, length of time in America, the presence of misdemeanors. Anyone who does not voluntarily register in three months would be deported. Priority should be given to deporting gang members and felons. Further details concerning progress in learning English, and length of stay, and those eligible for permanent residency is a matter of principled compromise. Failure in this area could create a foreign policy crises without precedent in American History. Mexico, and other states must realize that the current state of affairs is not tolerable to most Americans.

If Mccain wants to win this election he needs to stop pandering to the open border and illegal alien crowds. No Republican will ever out liberal a true liberal. When liberals choose between a Democrat and a liberal Republicans they will always choose the real deal as evident in that over 90% of Latinos will vote for Obama. Meanwhile, he will alienate and infuriate his own conservative base who will either not vote for him or just stay home on election day. I'm a conservative and I refuse to vote for anyone that supports La Raza or encourages amnesty, which means I'll probably write in my own choice or just stay home. And there are many conservatives just like me who will do the same. If Mccain wants to stay stupid and continue down this path then he does so alone and at his own peril. BTW, how the hell did Mccain win the party nomination?!!! There isn't a single conservative that I know of that likes this RINO masquerading as a Republican.

tomc100: We all know why 90% of Latinos will vote for Obama. My opinion. Both choices are terrible, again my opinion. We just got to hope that we get stuck with the lesser of two evils.
