How About the Conservatives Learning Something from McCain?

Here’s the deal. Many people think there is a better way of handling immigration than treating Mexicans like dirt. This means opening up more legal means of entry.

Anti-immigrationists view the issue as a enforce the law issue. Pro-immigrationists view the issue as a change the law issue.

Guess what? Neither position is illegal nor is either position anti-American. Surely those that believe laws should be enforced would prefer laws to be changed rather than ignored. Therefore McCain’s position is consistent with belief in the rule of law.

Now if you think increased immigration and a plan to let foreigners have legitimate access to our economy is bad you are free to maintain that position. But none of the candidates will please you on this issue so you have a choice to either not vote or to vote for the person that agrees with you on the other issues. Do the other issues matter to you?
