February 23, 2010 (MMD Newswire) -- Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee (ALIPAC) is endorsing JD Hayworth for U.S. Senate today in the hopes Hayworth can defeat John McCain, who is a notorious supporter of Amnesty for illegal aliens.
John McCain refused to listen to over 80% of his constituents and the American public by co-sponsoring Amnesty legislation with Senator Kennedy in 2007 which would have turned millions of illegal aliens into US voters. McCain's Amnesty legislation failed after the Capitol Hill phone system collapsed under the pressure of angry calls ranging 50-100 to 1 against his bill.
McCain apologized to and misled Republican voters in the 2008 GOP primary for president by claiming he had changed his position on Amnesty and after winning the primary, he flip flopped and returned to his prior pro-Amnesty positions, which left many voters feeling they could not trust John McCain.
JD Hayworth supports immigration enforcement and border security measures, instead of McCain's amnesty legislation which would politically destroy America's ability to enforce immigration laws in the future. Hayworth's prior voting records in Congress, position statements as a talk radio show host, and his campaign stances are aligned with ALIPAC's platform and the super majority of American voters who support more immigration enforcement.

Very smart to frame stance as “PRO LEGAL” to counter the false characterization of “anti immigration”. Let the others be called “anti legal” because that is what they advocate...basically pushing in line in front of those willing to enter through the proper and legal process. I wonder how the debate would change if it were offered to give amnesty but NOT the vote to those here illegally. No voting rights ever until you have gone through the entire citizenship process. Would the Dems still be so excited about this issue?
It shouldn’t take the spouse of a serviceman who marries overseas 4 to 8 years to be investigated and allowed over.
It has needed reform for a long time.
Roger Hedgecock also endorses Hayworth.
UPDATE:
Arizonas 24-Year Senator Ridiculously Labels All Who Disagree With Him, Open Borders
A Bunch of Brown Shirts; John, Lets Elevate The Debate
PHOENIX, ARIZONA. FEBRUARY 24, 2010. Yesterday, the McCain campaign issued a sophomoric press release attempting to discredit conservative challenger J.D. Hayworths endorsement from the Americans for Legal Immigration, a national leader in the fight against illegal immigration.
The McCain campaign used sloppy research to suggest this group and anyone that disagrees with McCain or his amnesty plans is a hate monger. It was offensive not only to the Hayworth family but also should be to any American.
To borrow a phrase from the McCain family, NOH8. Furthermore, neither Arizona nor the country needs a lecture from John McCain on race relations, someone who once defended Gov. Evan Mechams roll back of Arizonas Martin Luther King Day.

John and I have profound differences in this Republican primary. Hes a moderate and Im a conservative. But lets not allow the campaign to degenerate to this level. People who oppose him and his open borders policies are great Americans, just like John is, Hayworth said.
For example, below are four examples of Ku Klux Klan and other extreme supporters of McCain. The Hayworth campaign does not believe they make McCain a hate monger. In fact, the Hayworth campaign has gone out of its way to commend McCains service to the country.
So yeah, of course John McCain will get our vote, said one Ku Klux Klan member in their endorsement video for Senator John McCain. The video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ez2C4GwqE4
But Im going Republican and I talked to my guys and most of them are voting for McCain too, said Ron Edwards. Edwards is an Imperial Wizard with the Imperial Klans of America. His claim to fame? Provoking the atrocious beating of a Latino teenager, he was later sued by the Southern Poverty Law Center. http://www.esquire.com/the-side/feature/racists-support-obama-061308#ixzz0gQJc4Ce
The disappointment were going to suffer from [Obama] is going to set us back another fifty years. McCain is definitely the better shot for black people, said Yahanna, a General from the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge who includes segregation as one of his likes and dislikes black women, American culture, Muslims, Christians, Martin Luther King Jr.. http://www.esquire.com/the-side/feature/racists-support-obama-061308#ixzz0gQJc4CeI
As far as Obama/McCain I couldnt even make up my mind until McCain picked Palin and now I will vote for him solely on that, said one Vinlanders Social Club member. Note, this comment was posted above a five-minute video of a live abortion. http://tinyurl.com/ydljop6
McCain is vulnerable to the more conservative Hayworth on pro-life and pro-family issues as well as illegal immigration. McCain opposed the Bush Tax Cuts in 2001 and 2003. Hayworth also has a better lifetime rating from Citizens Against Government Waste and the American Conservative Union than the 28-year member of Congress.
McCain voted for the $850 billion bailout of the big banks which included $150 billion in pork, proposed a $300 billion bailout for mortgage lenders and, according to the Heritage Foundation, sponsored an amnesty bill that would have cost taxpayers $2.6 trillion over the long-term. Just this past week McCain has been ridiculed across the country for claims that he was misled into voting for the bank bailout, despite his failure to voice any concerns that are now being expressed by him.

Levin and Hedgecock and Rush. Any word from Ingraham?
I don’t get Laura any longer, so I haven’t heard.
Beck says he doesn’t know Hayworth...he should, and we need to correct that.
Beck said he doesn’t endorse candidates anymore. But he sure crapped on Debra Medina in texas
