JOHN MCCAIN - AN INSULT TO AMERICA AND AMERICANS

Although John McCain claims to be a Republican, as a life long Republican I no more trust this man than I do Howard Dean ! McCain has been very out spoken on the issue of immigration and co-sponsored with Ted Kennedy the ridiculous bill that failed in the Senate. Now he has crossed a line from ridiculous to down right un-American. Speaking before a group of construction workers who are members of the AFL-CIO labor union McCain actually insulted American labor and touted illegal labor over that of his fellow countrymen. Now don't get me wrong I am not one who favors labor unions but this particular insult was not directed toward unions but the workers in the union and yes, workers in general. In attempting to build up his immigration stance which is actually only a long worded form of amnesty, McCain stated the absolute falsehood that illegal aliens are doing the work that Americans do not want to do. The workers in attendance had already had their fill of McCain and began booing him rather loudly and to this he challenged with an offer to pay any worker there $50 an hour to pick lettuce and stay with it throughout the season. When a worker took him up on his offer McCain actually told him and his fellow workers that they could not perform the work and that ONLY illegals were capable of this type of work! This coming from a Senator with Presidential aspirations! Not only is he insulting his fellow countrymen but he is actually choosing illegal aliens who are in this country violating our laws over American workers. With this type of attitude not only does he have no business even running for President but there should be serious questions as to continuing in his present situation as Senator from Arizona. He is representing one of the most troubled states with illegal aliens since it is directly on the Mexican border and nearly 50,000 enter his state each month and McCain actually is siding with illegals rather than the American worker and those who live in his state that are forced to daily deal with the border situation. Now I ask you how many who are reading this post would gladly harvest lettuce for $50 per hour ? Do the math. Eight hours per day equals $400 multiplied by a five day week equals $2000 which equates to $8000 per month. That is a great wage regardless of the work and this idiot actually thinks that Americans are not capable of performing the work. He is the perfect match for his buddy Ted Kennedy who called illegals the backbone of our country and his favorite liberal Senator from New York Hillary, "the Hildabeast," Clinton who stated that illegals are the, "face, " of the working class in this country. I would not be surprised that when McCain makes his official announcement for his Presidential bid that it will be given in Spanish so that his true constituency, illegal aliens, can understand his announcement. Any Latino, Mexican or any other nationality who wishes to pursue the American dream and become part of this great nation as an American by following the law and legally immigrate to the United States I will gladly welcome them with open arms as will the rest of this nation for legal immigration is the heart of our nation. McCain and his cronies on both sides of the political isle are spitting on the Constitution and insulting every legal immigrant who has ever come to America.
