John “Snake” McCain, serial liar, enemy of the people (can anyone say McCain-Feingold?), on the President’s amnesty proposal:
“It is not amnesty. Amnesty means forgiveness… The fact is that is it earned citizenship… payment of back taxes, payment of a few thousand dollar fine and get in line behind everyone else in order to get a green card…”
How is this not amnesty?
Payment of back taxes and a few thousand dollar fine? YOU try to not pay taxes for a few years and see what kind of fine (or other penalty) the IRS levies. How is payment of back taxes and a slap-on-the-wrist picayune fine “earning citizenship”? Why not jail them as so many have been jailed for tax evasion? Heck, green carded LEGAL aliens who attempt to avoid taxes can be deported. De-por-ted. Under the president’s plan supported by Snake McCain, illegals get forgiven the penalty for aliens breaking the law, which is deportation. THAT’S amnesty. Having to simply pay back taxes is not enough to disqualify the program as amnesty, bubba.
He says the program he supports woud prevent felons from having a path to citizenship. OK, consider tax evasion. Oh. Felony time.
Jackass. He impeaches his own argument.
Snake McCain flogs the straw man of rounding up 12 million and deporting them en masse.
Bullshit!
Crack down on employers of illegals; shut down their illegal jobs markets; end their sucking at the social safety net teat. They’d either leave or starve. Tough love.
McCain cites the false meme that we are all a nation of immigrants.
Bullshit. A flat-out lie. The same lie President Bush uttered Monday night. Some are immigrants, sure. But the immigrants who BUILT this country were LEGAL immigrants. And most Americans alive today, by an enormous margin are not immigrants.
Oh, there’s more. All a pack of lies.
naturally. They are uttered by John “Snake” McCain.
Expose the Left has the video. Click and watch if your stomach’s strong anough and you have extra HBP meds available.
Oh, minor update to McCain’s self-impeachment in the middle of his argument (can anyone say “ignorantia elenchi, Senator Snake”?).
He asserts that illegals with felony raps will be deported.
How’s he gonna manage that when he’s already insisted that deporting 12 million illegals is impossible?
Consider: forging, and using forged, drivers licenses and other IDs is a felony in most states. Forging/using forged Social Security documents or IRS documents is a felony, last I heard. And forged green cards? Felony, right?
What does it take to skate by as an illegal in these United States?
Uh-huh.
Hoist Snake McCain on his own petard and fire the touch hole, please…
