MexiCain’s Immigration Positions
Since the people of Florida decided last night to make Senator Juan MexiCain the GOP front runner, I thought it was prudent to discuss Juan’s positions on Immigration.

Friends, the emphasized passages show where Juan MexiCain is in conflict with Conservatives. Is this what you want in your new President? I sure as hell don’t.
We need a President who will stop the flow of illegal aliens into this country first. Someone who would support the ability for the states and communities to rid the nation of illegals by passing legislation which would make it more difficult for these people to work and live in this country. These illegals will leave on their own if they can’t find work or a place to live. We’re seeing it in Juan’s home state of Arizona. Now we need it implemented nation wide.
