Here’s what McCain says in the call.
SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN: On the issue of immigration, there’s no debate that our borders are broken. There are 12 million people here illegally. I’ve listened and learned. We must secure our borders first and restore trust and confidence in our government. As president, I’ll hire new border patrol guards, build a fence, ask governors to certify that their borders are secure. The 2 million people who have committed crimes will be deported immediately. No one will be rewarded for illegal behavior. They’ll go the back of the line, pay fines and learn English. For those already in our country, there will be no special privileges and we’ll punish employers who hire illegal immigrants. We’ll be humane and compassionate, but we will be firm. It’s a matter of national security.
What kind of fence would McCain build? Oh yeah…
How would McCain inspire confidence in government? Give former Mexican cabinet officer Juan Hernandez a post in Homeland Security? Along with Sen. Lindsay “we’re gonna tell the bigots to shut up” Graham as Attorney General? And by signing his own McCain-Kennedy bill once a Democrat Congress has sent it to his desk?
Yeah, probably all that.
