Senator McCain’s Support of Amnesty
It has been noted here more than once that Senator John McCain can be honored and respected for service to country. But that fact alone does not provide a pass on other topics related to a Presidential campaign. As the story title indicates below, McCain likes being known as a maverick. And he wants us to believe he never supported amnesty for illegals.
To be fair Senator McCain, if you were not for amnesty, kindly explain how your maverick tendencies allowed you to support the amnesty bill presented last summer in Congress? If you had admitted you supported amnesty but withdrew your support after feeling the anger of the majority of Americans on the subject, that would be acceptable. But claiming you never supported amnesty indicates either you refuse to admit the truth on this subject or you did not understand the blue card’s immediate and permanent legal status provided to recipients. That is a problem. It is a problem to offer amnesty and it it is a problem to convince the public that you somehow opposed amnesty based on the events of the summer of 2007.

I think it’s simplistic to call the comprehensive reform bill “amnesty.” Besides, no candidate in the race has done more for the national security of this nation.
McCain’s rockin’ in New Hampshire, and he deserves to win the nomination.

Senator Sessions provides a description of the blue card.
So under the AgJOBS portion that was adopted in committee without debate, agricultural workers who have worked 150 workdays–that is not a full day–over the last 2 years, less than half time, will receive a blue card, and that will allow them to live and work permanently in the United States. However, because current law defines an agricultural workday as 1 hour of work per day–that definition is reinstated in the bill on page 397–an alien who has worked for as little as 150 hours in agriculture over the last 2 years will qualify for a blue card.
Loophole No. 13: Once an illegal alien worker receives a blue card, the blue card never expires. Blue cards, the new category of cards given to aliens who are amnestied under the AgJOBS provision of this bill,

never expire. The blue card holder can choose to pursue a green card, legal permanent resident status, by working for more hours in agriculture, but that is not a requirement to stay in the United States.
Page 399 specifically states:
An alien in blue card status shall be provided an employment authorized endorsement or other appropriate work permit, in the same manner as an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
