Question about John McCains stance on immigration
Having many family members living in US and considering at least another stay there, sometimes I wonder besides the usual doom and gloom of another republican what a President McCain would mean for me and my aquintances. From my very crude understanding of US politics Mc Cain is a xenophobe. So if he was made president what would McCains policy be towards immigrants from south asia ? Would he be making the process harder, cutting down number of visas issued ? What about those already living in america but not as citizens, would the process of obtaining citizenship be made much more tougher ?
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.
Re: Question about John McCains stance on immigration
McCain's voting record has been consistently pro-Bush, about the issues so you can look at Bush and see what McCain will do
Specifically your not a Mexican, so your shit out of luck. Sorry but unless you want to come here to be an low-paid fruit picker, why then get out of my country son, you and your "foreign" types an't welcome here.
Which is one of those many, MANY seemingly bio-polar policy positions.
You could try moving to Mexico first then running the boarder, it's become popular as an alternative method of immigrating to the US. As noted here and elsewhere the John MCain of 2000 is a far different man of 2008. The old John McCain while not as good as Obama was pretty good on this issue, the "NEW" John McCain now with more anger is horrible on this issue to everyone except... Mexicans.
