Morning Update: ‘Pro-Innovation Immigration’
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) released a new ad, with Spanish subtitles, that focuses on his plan to help Latino small business owners. The plan includes what he calls “pro-innovation immigration policies.” No other details of the plan were immediately available.
In a statement Thursday, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) responded to a USA Today report that said recently released Pentagon records indicate tens of thousands of troops deemed medically unfit for combat have been sent to Iraq or Afghanistan since 2003. As president, Clinton said, she would “not send a single soldier into combat who is not medically fit.” She also promised that “for every month our soldiers spend in the field, they will be guaranteed one month here at home” if she is elected.

Pro-Immigration Innovation…For a North American Union, it allows for much easier integration. Plus many Latinos provide a more affordable workforce. More tax revenue gained allows for more progress. I agree with his beliefs. And I believe Clinton is just blowing hot smoke with these comments. Current troop levels are stretched thin. A feasible way to increase commitment levels in all branches of the military is greater signing bonuses. $20,000 dollars and education expenses do not attract me and I am a college student. My friends and I have discussed it and many of us would sign up if bonuses reached levels around $40,000 or $50,000 plus education. Anyone think this could help?
