What do you expect. McQueeg says immigration is a losing issue and meeting with a man who won on immigration would McQueeg look like an idiot......well more of an idiot.
I hate to say this but immigration is a losing issue for the GOP. Look what happened to JD Hayworth in AZ in 2006. According to Bob Novak:
“Rep. J.D. Hayworth of Arizona, a stalwart of the famous Republican class of ‘94, did not seem seriously endangered until word came back to Washington election morning that he looked like a loser. Representing a district that is not as Republican as it used to be, Hayworth had become an enforcement-only immigration hard-liner. It did not help him at the polls.”
