Despite all the recent excitement over John McCain’s energizing vice president pick Gov. http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=5562, he remains committed to granting amnesty to 13 million to 20 million illegal aliens currently in America.
Unfortunately, if elected, he will likely sign an executive order in 2009 to make it happen. It’s a promise he has made to the “Latino Community,” and he hasn’t changed his stance, despite his recent talk of securing the border.
Barack Obama is abysmal on illegal immigration and has promised amnesty, driver’s licenses, and other social services to millions of illegal aliens if he’s elected.

We also need to continue to demand from the two main candidates a promise to crack down on criminal aliens, deport the estimated 550,000 fugitive aliens hiding in our country; stronger enforcement of employers who knowingly hire illegal workers (a felony); and of course, securing our border from the massive flow of drugs, criminals, gang members and impoverished citizens from south of the border.
We also need to end sanctuary cities such as San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and dozens of others nationwide that have resulted in http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=5453 committed by criminal aliens who were given sanctuary from ICE and Border Patrol in violation of federal law. Sanctuary cities should have their federal funding cut off immediately before one more innocent American is killed by a shielded criminal alien.
“Cheap lettuce” is never worth dying for. A true guest worker program could give us all the farmworkers we would ever need, without importing criminals.
