I’m a little late on coming back to this but wanted to offer my take on the situation.

McCain celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a large Spanish crowd and opened his newly Spanish-language website. Also adding that the he understands if Spanish voters felt discouraged by the language used during the Republican primaries.

From the speech on Cinco, Mayo

“I believe that the majority of Hispanics share our view that the border must be secured, and the border must be secured first,” McCain said. “But they also want us to have an attitude, which I think most Americans do, that these are God’s children and they must be taken care of, or the issue must be addressed, in a humane and compassionate fashion. And I will continue to carry that message with the priority that we must secure our borders first.”

So those who support the rule of law and want those punished who illegally enter our country ahead of those who enter legally are some how “inhumane”?

I’m not in to dividing the GOP’s chances of taking the White House this Fall but I will not support ‘Amnesty’ McCain and will dedicate all my resources to object strongly to any “comprehensive” language that comes from his mouth regarding illegal immigration. This almost feels like the handle is being turned after he firmly planted it last year, especially after months of hearing McCain repeat that he “got the message” and the he “heard” the voters on the issue.

Well, now we’re hearing this,

“The lesson I learned from it is we’ve got to have comprehensive immigration reform.”

Is this an indication that since he is now the inevitable nominee, like it or not, that the old McCain is back?

To further add to this, It certainly doesn’t calm suspicions when he announced that he will speak at the National Council of La Raza (”The Race” or the “Klan with a Tan”) annual convention July 14 in San Diego. McCain better get with the program and fast. This is one issue he can’t afford to go back on.

The Democrats were quicker than most Repulicans to pounce on the double-talk from McCain.

“McCain said he would pursue comprehensive immigration reform as soon as he takes office,” the Democratic National Committee said in a statement. “But in the same news conference, McCain also took the opposite position: saying that the borders have to be secured first….McCain’s double-talk is indicative of a major problem the GOP nominee faces heading to the general election, trying to both appease the Party’s conservative base while trying to reach out to moderate voters and Hispanics who have been targeted with ugly Republican Party attacks on the immigration issue.”
