TOPIC: illegal, aliens, immigration, citizenship

TRANSCRIPT:
"I was on the radio this morning with New Hampshire Public Radio, and, um, it was pointed out that Senator McCain here said that his view was that, that those who come here illegally should get in the back of the line, and he was not in favor of a, of, of a special, uh, deal if you will for illegal aliens, and yet the bill he, he, he fought for that, that was the combined bill in Washington said, with its Z Visa, that everyone here illegally could stay here forever. Now he talks about citizenship and tries to change the subject, but that's not, that's not the, the point. The point is under his bill that he fought for everybody who came here illegally could stay forever. And, and, does he still believe that? Or does he not believe that? And, and likewise on taxation. Um, he says well now he's, uh, he's for making the Bush tax cuts permanent. Well, does he admit that he was wrong in voting against them before? Uh, you know, I, I'm happy to talk about times when I've been wrong, but I don't recall Senator McCain saying he was wrong to say that all illegal aliens should be able to stay here permanently or that he was wrong to vote against the Bush tax cuts. I think he was, on both counts."
