I have been reading a number of articles where Johnnie claims to be doing what is right by creating a very difficult path to citizenship with enhanced border protection. Keep selling Johnnie remember, according to Hitler, if you say it long enough it will become true even if it isn't.

"McCain went over the general provisions of the bill: people would have to pay fines, learn English and get in back of the line to become U.S. citizens. The border would also need to be secured." Full Article here

After reading all the bunk you shovel I find that there is one thing you never touch on, the reason why many of these families came here. It wasn't for a greater opportunity, religious freedom, or any other worthy cause but it was for all the free stuff, the give aways, the social programs. As long as we have a welfare state the influx of those who are here for the wrong reasons will continue. Where is the discussion about the failed drug war where our policy on drugs has created a black market where evil and violence are prone to happen.You push real hard on managing the consequences but NEVER touch on the cause. Isn't the drug war responsible for making our south border a war zone? Will a wall stop it? We can't keep drugs out of prisons so what makes you think a wall or electronic monitoring is going to change the monitary push in the black market?

I also challenge you on the great wall across the border. In most places of the world, armed and patrolled great walls weren't built to keep people out but they were built to keep people in. Our country was founded on immigration and should aspire to getting more immigrants to continue the diversification of the nation. All I read and here from you is more population control and problem management instead treating the cause. Johnnie, you fail me.

I understand the issue is greater than black and white and in some efforts I applaud you for trying to use common sense but I am sure it was quite difficult for you. I find it intriguing though that in all the things you taut nothing is said about restricting/losing voting rights or having the ability to collect from social programs while these people are in the actions of gaining citizenship. Very odd.

I am concerned when you stated,

“I don’t think that any legislation that is a series of compromises that need to be made is perfect, but I also would submit to you that …”

Isn't that similar to Nancy Pelosi's statement on Obama Care where she said something to the effect that "we have to pass the law to see what's in it"? This ridiculous statement brings about more distrust in your fake propaganda act than anything you have done that pushes to erode our constitutional rights. I'm not even going to start, in this diatribe, your desires to erode our 2nd amendment rights. Please take your side show elsewhere because if this legislation was good, all it would take is for someone to read it and they would accept it where it wouldn't need a sales pitch or dog and pony show.

I also have grave concerns how this legislation could be turned, as with all modern legislation, into a national ID registration where we have to show our papers just to walk down the street. I know you personally have those desires for that type of control but I will not stand idly by as you lie to make it happen.

Arizona’s Capitol Hill delegation could send an “important” message that the state has moved past immigration controversies by unanimously backing a comprehensive border-reform package, Sen. John McCain said Monday. Full article here

Funny Johnnie, the whole issue would not even exist if the federal government didn't enact polices to create this issue. Do you truly believe that creating more laws, which by the way are things that tell you what you can't do, you can fix an issue that laws created? If the laws that created this issue are to blame then wouldn't common sense tell you to remove those bad laws instead of creating more? I know you think we are all stupid and need to be ruled but most of us aren't blind and would prefer a freer society without your totalitarian desires.
