UNION CITY - Republican presidential candidate John McCain joined Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in calling today for comprehensive immigration reform, including guest worker visas to bring employees to California's Silicon Valley and the state's vast agricultural fields.
The two men brought up the issue at McCain's prompting during a global competitiveness roundtable featuring California technology executives and entrepreneurs.
Asked by Silicon Valley panelists on what he would do to grant more visa for skilled technology workers, McCain broadly advocated the comprehensive immigration reform plan he had backed with Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy in Congress.
The same issue brought McCain intense criticism during the Republican presidential primary from conservatives who assailed him as soft on illegal immigration and an advocate of amnesty.
But today McCain, the now presumptive GOP presidential nominee, said an immigration program is needed that protects America's borders and national security. While he called for punishing employers who hire illegal immigrants, he also advocated a humane approach that treats illegal workers as "God's children."
McCain said they should be allowed to seek legal status in a "humane and comprehensive fashion" through a program "they can count on and trust."
Responding to a question about so-called H1-B visas for Silicon Valley workers, McCain said: "We have to attract the best and brightest minds. It isn't just H1-B visas. In our agricultural sector, they can't find workers as well. We need a temporary agriculture (worker) program."
Schwarzenegger echoed McCain's remarks after the Arizona senator asked his opinion on the topic.
"We need to change the system. All this is part of a comprehensive immigration reform. You can't piecemeal this thing," Schwarzenegger said.
While the governor said, "securing the border is extremely important" to California he added: "You have to have the courage to do this kind of immigration reform so we can bring people into this country legally."
Schwarzenegger said he supported a pathway to legal status so that more people can have "legal driver’s licenses" and "everyone would have bank accounts...and there would be background checks so that there would be no criminal element in this country."
Afterwards, former eBay CEO Meg Whitman hosted a fundraiser for McCain expected to draw 350 donors and $2 million in contributions.
McCain touched down in California Wednesday for a fundraiser at the Irvine Marriott in Orange County hosted by real estate developer and former Seattle Mariners baseball team owner George Argyros. Later Thursday, he is to appear at a Stockton airport rally and fundraiser at the home of developer Alex Spanos, owner of the San Diego Chargers football team.
McCain = Amnesty
Anyone But McCain
Hillary will unite the Republican Party.
It will happen immediately and it will be intense
If you liked the taste of loosing the Senate and the House - broken borders
and run-free drug cartels and human traffickers in control of our borders -
and you rooted for the trans-national and domestic profiteers
outsourcing American middle class jobs and the importing of cheap desperate
third-world illegal alien workers under 8 years of George Bush - You are going to LOVE McCain

If Republicans are united like a slab of granite in the Senate and House, there will be no Amnesty
and no harmful Supreme
Court Justices. Eventually, we will return to sound Republican Conservative
Patriotic Limited Government.
McCain, on the other hand will keep the Republican Party divided, as Bush has done. With McCain
in the Whitehouse,
Democrats (many who are co-conspirator friends of McCain such as Ted Kennedy,
Harry Reid, Russ Feingold
and Joe Lieberman), will get all they want because there will
not be a united opposition from the Republican Party.
McCain will give a "path" to citizen to millions of illegal aliens, most of whom will register Democrat
and lead to the death
of the Republican Party as we have known it.
Our GOP Leadership has given us McCain so we can "win" elections by running as if we were Democrats.
This failed strategy has caused the GOP to loose the Senate and the House; and in 2008
we will lose the Presidency.
Worse, this strategy has divided the Party.
The GOP offers the best hope for the nation; but it has a corrupt open-borders globalist
elitist leadership that is detached
from the mainstream Republican membership.
Even if it hurts, we must defeat the corrupt GOP leadership and McCainism
and start from scratch again
