Reid: Obama/McCain Agreement on Immigration

Several months ago when I posted here that I was going to write-in Mitt Romney’s name on my Missouri ballot, I was thinking ahead to the day when I would see a headline very similar to the one that THEHILL.COM just used for their article.

I did everything in my power to prevent John McCain from becoming the Republican Party’s nominee. I did so primarily because of his wrong headed support of a policy that will further add to this county’s unbelievable debt and financial problems, and that is the coming amnesty for the illegal immigrants who have flouted our laws and who have hired criminal smugglers to get them into this country. Now, if Dingy Harry Reid, Obama and John “Landslide” McCain get their way, these folks will be rewarded for their criminal activity by becoming US citizens, just in time to start collecting unemployment benefits. Is it any wonder that this country is in the pathetic shape it’s in? How could it be any different? We have violated every principle of economics, we have wasted money on every useless, feckless and pointless government program devised by the human mind and now, to add the icing to the bankruptcy cake, we will make another push for a general amnesty for illegal aliens.

Congratulations Sen. McCain, you have not disappointed me. You have done PRECISELY what I expected you to do. BTW, for those of you who observed on these pages the deafening silence during McCain’s anemic campaign regarding the illegal immigration issue, this move toward amnesty will, of course, not shock any of you. We all knew exactly why this was not being debated. The answer is that there was nothing to debate. Both Obama and McCain were totally on board this train, we all knew it, and that is why I would have written in Romney’s name if my state allowed it.

The fix was in. I saw it coming and as I wrote here months ago, it really didn’t matter who got elected, we were going to have another amnesty bill shoved down our throats, regardless.

Now, once again, it is up to the voters to turn the screws down on the thumbs of their Congressional delegations and let them know that you are in favor of the rule of law and that you will demand that they enforce our border laws and that you will eject them from office if they fail to follow your directives. We must keep in mind that these people work for us and that we will fire their lame posteriors if they don’t meet our expectations.

President-elect Barack Obama and his former general election rival, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz), have come to an agreement on immigration, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid told the Detroit Free Press in a recent interview.
Reid said the two standard-bearers have agreed to move forward on immigration legislation during Obama’s White House tenure.

“On immigration, there’s been an agreement between Obama and McCain to move forward on that,” Reidsaid when how Congress would handle immigration and healthcare with expanded Democratic majorities and Obama in the White House.

Early on in their general election campaign, both McCain and Obama pledged to enact sweeping immigration reforms. McCain attempted to pass a massive immigration bill during the last Congress, forging alliances with such heavyweights as Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and President Bush. McCain proposed granting a pathway to citizenship for illegal resident aliens and ramping up security efforts along the U.S./Mexico border. The effort failed.

When asked if immigration reform would cause “as much of a fight” in Congress the next time it comes up, Reid cited McCain as a key GOP ally who could enable Democrats to enact reforms.
“We’ve got McCain and we’ve got a few others. I don’t expect much of a fight at all,” Reid said.
The Detroit Free Press posted Reid’s interview to its website Sunday.
