"Hey McCain, you’ve been representing Arizona in the House and then the Senate since 1983.

Why did you let it get so bad?"

It just goes to show how out of touch he is with the people of Arizona. He's been there all these years & what legislation about border protection & the illegal invasion has his name on it????

All this tough talk he's doing is making me wonder why he's acting like he just got elected & was not able to do anything about the illegal invasion taking place all these years. Worse yet - he's been encouraging it!!

He is either definitely FOR amnesty or just plain incompetent & should be thrown out of office.

This is where McCain’s been for decades:

1988: Honored by La Raza for opposing official English

McCain attacked Proposition 106, a [AZ] statewide referendum that was being advanced by the so-called English-only movement. McCain told the teachers, “Why would we want to pass some kind of initiative that a significant portion of our population considers an assault on their heritage?”

Because of his position on the English-only initiative and his willingness to fight for a pluralistic American culture, McCain was one of 10 members of congress who were honored by the National Council of La Raza, a nationwide coalition of Hispanic organizations. In a speech at a ceremony in Washington, before an audience of 500, McCain again attacked English-only initiatives.

“The building of our great nation is not the work of immigrants from one or two countries, McCain said, ”Our nation and the English language have done quite well with Chinese spoken in California, German in Pennsylvania, Italian in New York, Swedish in Minnesota, and Spanish throughout the Southwest. I fail to see the cause for alarm now.“
