McCain Booed Twice in Michigan
The irony being that F-bomb dropping McCain would demand courtesy from those he disagrees with. During a campaign event in Michigan, McCain quickly learned that AFL-CIO members are less-than-pleased with his open-borders, amnesty-granting positions.
Sen. John McCain threatened Tuesday to cut short a speech to union leaders who booed his immigration views and later challenged his statements on organized labor and the Iraq war.
“If you like, I will leave,” McCain told the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department, pivoting briefly from the lectern. He returned to the microphone after the crowd quieted.
“OK, then please give me the courtesy I would give you.”
Yeah, courtesy for the opposition on immigration. Right.
…the senator outlined his position on the Senate immigration debate, saying tougher border enforcement must be accompanied by guest-worker provisions that give illegal immigrants a legal path toward citizenship.
Murmurs from the crowd turned to booing. “Pay a decent wage!” one audience member shouted.
“I’ve heard that statement before,” McCain said before threatening to leave.
Afterward, the senator said he offered to cut his speech short “because I wanted to be heard.”
McCain’s sudden change of heart isn’t authentic, but only a politically-convenient alteration. He continues to insist the shamnesty he and his buddy Ted Kennedy tried to shove down our throats last year wasn’t amnesty.

Can we do a citizen exchange program with Mexico? I’d like to send all non-working indigents on social welfare programs to Mexico, and trade them for there hard working laborers that will spend money in our economy, especially if we allow them to bring their entire families here. BOA is right to see the Hispanic market as a new consumer source. They are here to stay, and social welfare programs, along with border control costs are wastes of our tax money (generated only by the actual producers in our country). I’m born American, and I consider myself lucky. The rest of you “close the borders” types, are selfish pigs that should sit down and shut up, or get to work for a smaller wage!!!

Border control costs are a waste of our tax money? What planet are you living on? Besides the fact the flood of illegals would increase, how about the fact that we know for a fact terrorists use the borders to get illegally enter the country?
Why should I work for a smaller wage, because I want my nation’s laws followed? Here’s an idea: You come to our nation, you follow our laws. That’s “selfish”?
We’re not the United Nations. We’re the United States. If you want to be an American, follow our established laws. Then I’ll welcome you with open arms. Break my laws, enter the country illegally, and demand rights, and I want your ass kicked out.
