(RINO) Senator McCain now says border soldiers should be armed ("I've never been for amnesty")
KGUN-TV ABC 9 Tucson, Ariz. ^ | 2010-05-29

TUCSON, AZ (KGUN - TV) - Arizona Senator John McCain now says soldiers sent to the border should be armed. This revelation comes one day after Senate democrats shot down McCain's border plan to send 6,000 soldiers to the border.

At a town hall meeting in Tucson, McCain first told 60 of his supporters in attendance that President Obama's plan to send 1,200 soldiers would not work because the soldiers would only be assigned to "desk jobs."

(snip)

Nunez asked: "What do you say to the those who accuse you of throwing out numbers, sending 6,000 troops to the border, throwing more money to the problem instead of pushing for comprehensive reform which is what you've done in the past?" McCain said, "Well over the last several years as violence has escalated I have continuously said that we have to secure the borders first."

Nunez asked: "Are you willing to compromise increasing security on the border for amnesty?" McCain responded, "I'm not, first of all, I've never been for amnesty. But second of all get the border secured then we can look at a temporary legal, temporary worker program."

Nunez asked: "So what do you do with the 13 million illegal's who are already here?" McCain said, "I say to them lets get the border secured and then I'm sure we can move forward with addressing that issue. But I don't want 13 million more here a few years from now because we didn't get our border secured."

"I think we can set up a program
where amnesty is extended to a certain number
of people who are eligible and at the same time
make sure that we have some control over people
who come in and out of this country."

U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 29 MAY 2003

McCain is a chameleon. I hope Arizona voters send him
into retirement. He has served enough.

McCain is such a liar. He realizes he is PRO-Amnesty in a state that is doing an AMAZING job thanks to Jan Brewer and conservative Repubs in the AZ state House and Senate.

God bless AZ. McCain get lost - liar!

Juan McCain has used the words ‘comprehensive immigration reform’ so many times that he now believes he hasn’t ever supported amnesty. Note to Juan: comprehensive immigration rerform = blanket amnesty, and you know it and we know and you know that we know it, so stop your outright lies. As an Arizonan, I will say I hope we throw this back-stabbing rino out on August 28th. JD Hayworth needs your help if you can send a small donation.

"Served"?

Whom has he served as a US Senator besides Democrats and Socialists? Has he ever done one worthy thing while in office?

I'd really like to know.

That man is reprehensible. I hope Freepers have been donating on line to JD HAYWORTH, his Primary Opponent. $10 here, $25 there, $100 when the spirit so moves.

McCain is counting on Arizonans to have long-term memory loss. He thinks his constituents can’t remember since last week. He’s the Snarlin’ Arlen of the West. Don’t give him a pass!

GO J.D.!

ok, so he wants them armed sitting at a desk, that makes a lot of sense.

They should be on the border like they were on the border between Kuwait and Iraq prior to the Invasion.
