McCain to illegals: Make us cry, and you can stay (for a fee, of course) …

John McCain, one of the leading Republican candidates for president, is thought to be tough as nails because he survived 5 1/2 years of abuse at the hands of the North Vietnamese when he was a prisoner of war.Everyone pays appropriate homage to him for his service to his country, but since he is running for president he also deserves a serious look at his record and his proposals.
And on the subject of enforcing immigration law, McCain is not as tough as nails; he is squishy as a jelly doughnut.
Accused of supporting amnesty in the McCain-Kennedy bill and in subsequent immigration “reform” bills, McCain typically denies it was amnesty because the illegal immigrants had to pay a $5,000 fine, but then he says that under his plan no one would be able to avoid following the law. “There is no special right associated with my plan,” he says.
Except… he always adds a squishy exception.
In one debate, he said he wouldn’t deport the grandmother of a soldier fighting in Iraq because she was illegal. In another, he said he wouldn’t deport the wife of a soldier fighting in Iraq because he was possibly missing in action.
Apparently, McCain believes in “rule of law” unless you have a really compelling story. Then you get a free pass. Call it the Oprah factor. If you can make us cry on a talk show, we like you too much to send you home.
