MexiCain’s Immigration Positions

in: Election 2008, Illegal Immigration, Presidential Candidates

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.

According to On the Issues:

* Do everything I can to help all immigrants learn English. (Dec 2007)
* Illegal immigrants are God’s children as well. (Nov 2007)
* 12 million illegals in country now is de facto amnesty. (Sep 2007)
* Amnesty is forgiveness; we offer fines; lines; & long waits. (Sep 2007)
* No official English; Native Americans use own languages. (Jun 2007)
* Immigration reform needed for national security. (Jun 2007)
* Hispanics serve our country, like every wave of immigrants. (Jun 2007)
* America expects us to work on immigration together. (May 2007)
* Bipartisanship shows preparedness for presidency. (May 2007)
* Change rule barring immigrants from running for president. (May 2007)
* Comprehensive reform requires temporary worker program. (May 2007)
* Comprehensive reform must include border security first. (Apr 2007)
* Make possible for immigrants to do a job Americans won’t do. (Oct 2004)
* Give everyone in the world an opportunity to come to America. (Oct 2004)
* More help for legal immigrants when immigrating & once here. (Jul 1998)

Voting Record

* No more ballot initiatives against immigration. (Mar 1999)
* Voted YES on comprehensive immigration reform. (Jun 2007)
* Voted YES on declaring English as the official language of the US government. (Jun 2007)
* Voted YES on building a fence along the Mexican border. (Sep 2006)
* Voted YES on establishing a Guest Worker program. (May 2006)
* Voted YES on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security. (May 2006)
* Voted YES on giving Guest Workers a path to citizenship. (May 2006)
* Voted YES on allowing more foreign workers into the US for farm work. (Jul 1998)
* Voted YES on visas for skilled workers. (May 1998)
* Voted YES on limit welfare for immigrants. (Jun 1997)
* English immersion over bilingual education. (Jul 2001)
* Rated 18% by USBC, indicating an open-border stance. (Dec 2006)

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.
