The surge of 20,000 new enforcement agents that would be deployed as part of the Senate immigration bill that passed earlier this year is unnecessary to secure the border, Arizona Sen. John McCain, one of the lead Republicans on the bipartisan immigration task force that co-authored the bill, said Tuesday. Speaking at a forum sponsored by the AFL-CIO in Washington, D.C., McCain said he voted for the bill that included the provision of additional agents so that those skeptical about the bill’s effectiveness “would have comfort” that the border would be secured. “I’ll give you a little straight talk. We don’t need 20,000 additional border enforcement agents,” McCain said at the union forum, where he joined California Democratic Rep. Xavier Becerra. “But what we do need is to use the technology that has been developed where we can surveil the border more effectively." The Senate bill would effectively double the number of border agents and increase funding for enforcement. The bill passed the Senate in June with bipartisan support, and lawmakers are currently debating a version of immigration reform in the Republican-majority House.”Those who know and understand the likes of John McCain, Lindsey Graham and other RINOs should not be surprised: RINOs differ from Democrats only when it comes to transparency: Democrats readily admit that they oppose any security measure that would prevent more criminals from invading; RINOs like McCain lie and double- talk the issue and count on the reconciliation process to safeguard the interests of illegal aliens….and to hell with America! John McCain’s words, and the recent announcement that the DHS cannot account for one million foreigners in the nation, should be enough to put a dagger through the heart of the Amnesty canard of 2013! Americans have put up with 27 years of lies and abuse. Time to secure the borders, deport the illegals, and respect American sovereignty and the rule of law! Amnesty MUST BE DEFEATED in the US House and rejected in total! John W. Lillpop San Jose, California

John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal. “Clean and sober” since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat. For years, John lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, the very liberal sanctuary city which protects, rather than prosecutes, certain favored criminals. John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
