Politics – Prior to today's votes, McCain's missed about half of the Senate's scheduled votes so far this year, which is far more than the five other Senators running for president according to the Congressional Quartely, which monitors Congress.
We might have been better off if he had stayed on the road!
I heard a radio interview with him late yesterday.
McCain said that the Senate unanimously approved his amendment to the immigration bill. The amendment requires illegal immigrants to pay back taxes on their earnings for the time they had been in the United States.
I sent an email to McCain's office as well as both Texas senators this AM.
I asked them if they had any idea how many of the illegal immigrants would be eligible for the Earned Income Tax credit. In other words, how many illegal immigrants would pay their back taxes only to get a total refund plus additional money back.
Do you think I will get an answer? ;>)
