Are you sure? JD voted against the intelligence bill because it didn't have some of the same provisions.

This is from his website, plus a poll.

Should the government make it easier for illegal immigrants to be put on a path toward citizenship?

Hayworth: Omission of Vital Border Security Provisions In Intel Reform 'Scandalous, Unacceptable'

WASHINGTON- U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth of Arizona will vote against the intelligence reform bill intended to implement recommendations of the 9-11 Commission when the measure comes before the House for final approval later today.

In announcing his intention to oppose the bill, Rep. Hayworth issued the following statement:

"I asked supporters of this bill to explain why, in view of haunting evidence that America's porous border security system enabled 19 murderous Islamofascists to move around the country and get in position to kill nearly 3,000 Americans on 9/11, were provisions stripped out of the final version of the intelligence reform bill that were specifically written to prevent that from happening again?

"The only response was that those concerns could be addressed next year.

"The potentially deadly absence of vital border security provisions in the intel reform legislation is scandalous and unacceptable and it is why I could not in good conscience support the bill."

The truth is JD and every other member of our congressional delegation and the State GOP leadership condemned Prop 200.
