A 2007 Heritage Foundation study found that a household headed by the typical high-school-drop-out illegal alien costs taxpayers a net of about $20,000 for every year allowed to stay in this country. • McCain has taken the pro-amnesty position in nearly two dozen votes and co-sponsorships.

He was willing to work to secure our borders and try to prevent illegal immigration ONLY if it was tied to providing permanent residency for illegal aliens already here. Our borders are still sieves. For the last 2 years, John McCain & Ted Kennedy were the key leaders trying to ram a path to citizenship for millions of illegal aliens through Congress. • Sen. McCain claims it is not amnesty to give illegal aliens U.S. citizenship if they have to pay a fine and learn English. Whatever he chooses to call it, allowing illegal aliens to keep the very things they broke the law to obtain – U.S. residency and an American job – is an incredibly generous reward for violating the rule of law. • After his leadership for amnesties caused his Presidential campaign to collapse last spring, McCain said he “got the message” from the voters and no longer pushes rewarding illegal aliens ahead of everything else. He says he wants to secure our borders first. But he only promises to make 2 million of the 12-20 million illegal aliens go home. McCain has the worst Republican platform for ending future illegal immigration www.betterimmigration.com...tes/2006/prez08_gop1.html
