Senator John McCain thought it more important...
this week to meet with Latino leaders in California
who support his fight for illegal alien amnesty than with congressional -- than with a congressional candidate from his own party, by the way, who is against amnesty for illegal aliens. Senator McCain urged Latino leaders in Orange
County, California, to support their joint fight for
amnesty in this country. He urged them to "speak for
people who cannot speak for themselves. You are the role models."

Senator McCain made the comments on the same day as
he canceled an appearance at a fund-raiser for Republican congressional candidate Brian Bilbray, who opposes
McCain's so-called comprehensive immigration reform plan.

The Senate's so-called comprehensive immigration reform act would have an extraordinary impact on the population of this country were it to become law. A study by the
Heritage Foundation has determined that 66 million people would be given legal status over the next two decades.
Ten million illegal aliens already in this country, if you accept that estimate, will be granted amnesty
immediately under the Senate legislation, as many
as 20 million according to other estimates.

That legislation would also create a new guest
worker program that would admit at least 325,000
workers every year, and their spouses and their
children. And in some cases, their extended families.

The Congressional Budget Office says the guest worker
program and increased welfare benefits would cost
taxpayers an estimated $50 billion, and those are the most conservative estimates. They do not account for
increased illegal immigration spurred by the hope of another amnesty in the future.
