Caption reads: "McCain has died, the polls insinuate. Many are already celebrating, the rumor has spread. I know what is for sure: This was not just any death, as first-hand evidence shows—Bush, with his bombs, wars, and financial crisis."

Another mention of MATT.org in the news, this time in an AP story about how the "immigration debate has taken a back seat to the economy."

The pertinent excerpt—

A nonpartisan group, Mexicans and Americans Thinking Together, is continuing the push for immigration reform. While it could be another bruising battle, members see the discussion resuming soon.

"We start fresh in January with a new Congress and a new president," said Henry Bonilla, a former Texas congressman who now serves as MATT's spokesman.

The group recently began airing television advertisements in Albuquerque, Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Richmond, Va., calling on candidates to remember immigration and reminding residents the work isn't finished.

"The problem has not gone away. We're trying to say that in a nice way," Bonilla said. "We're not pointing fingers at anyone. We have a message and we're reaching out to community leaders, to clergy and to activists to help."

Palin on immigration post-McCain
From Andrew Sullivan's Atlantic blog—

According to [Mark] Krikorian [head of the right-wing Center for Immigration Studies], once Sarah Palin is free from the McCain campaign, she will be able to speak freely about the immigration issue. “There’s a real possibility, once Senator McCain is history, that she will likely take a much more hawkish position on immigration,” he adds. “Now maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part — it’s possible, but I don’t think so.”
