McCain turns around and now backs CIR - Page 5

It's much easier to support CIR when you know it's dead in the House. That way you can have your cake and eat it too.

And btw, saying you support CIR once the border is secured.... well. that's a pretty ginormous qualifier. You can deem the border secured tomorrow or on Saint's Never nameday....

You guys actually believe this poor old man after he betrayed us twice?

Yeah, only to get Hispanic votes for 08 election. He walked out on senate vote so he can boast to anti-immigrants. He doesn't want it to pass so he can gain supports from both parties.

He was worried about his job before.

He didn't vote for Dream Act even after election.. a couple of weeks ago.

He wants to make you feel like he's on your side. "Making it seem like he's advocating for immigration reform just enough to get you on his side but not actually do anything" is perfect for him and just what he needs.

Yes. BRAVO!!! That's what I have always wondered: What does secure mean to these guys? Come on Republicans show us the yellow brick road/ give us a sign. I also saw a Marco Rubio interview last night. He says the same thing: secure the border and compel every employer to check the immigration status of workers first . . . then immigration reform. I am sorry, but these guys are idiots. Border security, e-verify, and legalization have to happen in one bill (CIR).

Just imagine how difficult it would be for all of us in terms of sustenance/housing/money if the borders were secure and all employers started checking immigration status.

the border is secure dammit. trust me i know people who work in that "industry" and its hard to get people over now a days.

He wants CIR to pass so we can secure the border and take care of everything for once.

We still have the violence and people coming in though.
