Three Weeks After Winning Primary, McCain Regains Interest in Backdoor Amnesty

When facing a conservative primary challenger back in July, Senator John McCain said he opposes immigration reform that would give illegal immigrants a way to become citizens.

McCain, who at one point had been the top Republican advocate for immigration legislation promising a pathway to citizenship for some illegal immigrants, said he favored establishing a guest worker program. But McCain expressed opposition to any program that would give illegal immigrants a way to become citizens.

“No amnesty. Many of them need to be sent back,” McCain said during an interview on KQTH-FM in Tucson, Ariz.

Now the primary is three weeks in the past, Senator McCain has suddenly become open-minded to amnesty for some illegal immigrants. This is why Conservatives should never vote for a RINO. They can't be trusted. Harry Reid only needs five more votes to pass the DREAM Act he is attaching to a defense bill. We have to wonder how many Republicans in Arizona will stay home on election day in disgust.
