McCain supporters will you switch to Romney now?

Senator John McCain moved to pass an Bill that allows Amnesty for 12 million illegal aliens. Many Americans are outraged, and are willing to show their disapproval at the ballot box. Governor Mitt Romney said today he opposes this bill as it IS Amnesty. Would you switch your vote to let Senator McCain know how you feel? Thanks I agree that Fred Thompson is great and I would like him as President, too. I used Romney (another fine candidate) because he was the first to come out and publicly disagree with Amnesty. For that he must be commended. Thompson has now come out and also shown disagreement, and is on the right page on this issue. Henry the whole issue of paying a fine is a sham. Do you know how many rules were supposed to be pressed as conditions of the last Amnesty bill in the 80's? Were they enforced? Of course not. Further, what good is a $5,000 fine that aliens need pay (over an 8 yr period no less) when the average illegal consumes $16,000 in US benefits per YEAR. So you feel it is so nice to pay for them to pay a fictional fine, when they make out like bandits. The cost of this Amnesty deal is projected at 2.5 Trillion dollars; Call that a fine on the American people. Slick I hope you are successful as I know there are true Democrats who see how awful this Amnesty thing is for America, but I am not sure that your guys will listen to you, because they want power, and illegals can give it to them. Drew, lets not be silly. Did you know that it costs the American people an average of $16,000 a year from each illegal in the US for benefits. Most are unable to read, and are unskilled. They will simply become a huge new Welfare state within our country. What will you do when you try to collect Social security or medicare and find out the illegals have consumed all the money that it took you 40+ years to deposit?

1. Wasn't planning on voting for either one. I have let my senator an every democratic nominee know I oppose amnesty.
2. I am not going to base my vote on this one case. Although I am not 100% convinced either way that deporting OR amnesty for illegals is the right move. For me, the jury is still out. Because on one hand I think they need to be sent back to where they came from. On the other, an extra 12 million tax paying citizens doesn't sound half bad either. And maybe THAT is what those who support amnesty are banking on. 12 million new citizens = 12 million potential voters.
3. No, but Fred Thompson is looking like the only candidate worth standing with. And he's not even in the running yet!
4. You know... I never really did support McCain... I think he is much like the Governator in Cali. Too many democratic ideology. Mitt IS the man anyhow. He knows how to get things done and can handle governing responsibilities. I mean please... he is a conservative Governor in Massachusetts for crying out loud... He must be good!
5. It doesn't matter. Fred Thompson is our next president. I'm voting for him, no matter what the others have to say.
6. So what do we do with them? How do we find them and round them up? Do we get cowboys on horses with lassos to rope them or what? How much do you think it would cost to deport them? Are you willing to pay $5 a head for lettuce or $10 for a small basket of strawberries? The affect on our economy would not only involve the cost of actually taking people to the border for deportation but for all the fields of crops that they pick so you can have good food at a reasonable price. I favor letting them stay and make them pay a fine. The fine is for breaking our laws. Actually the law as passed is exactly what I would have proposed. I would give extra points for every one in the family that learns and uses English as well as points for other education.
7. Henry VIII's response is crazy. Let's just let people pay a little fine, learn some English, etc. and then they are fine. It sure doesn't cultivate a respect for the law. This bill, if anything, is going to increase the number of people entering our country illegally. I am all for immigration, but I also respect the law. I also understand we can't just send all 12 million home, but we must be more clear and strict on their path to legalization. I have never been a huge McCain supporter, as he comes across as a mean old man, but I do like Romney. We need someone that doesn't see things with political eyes, but will come in and clean things up, like Romney has always done in the past.
