PHOENIX - In the race for U.S. Senate, J.D. Hayworth is accusing John McCain of flip-flopping on the issue of illegal immigration.
Does McCain want border security or a path to citizenship for illegals -- or both? McCain once championed comprehensive immigration reform that would allow people here illegally a path to citizenship.
"The present situation with broken borders and 11 million people that are in America without citizenship is unacceptable," he said on the campaign trail.
Now McCain says border security must come first before tackling what to do with the 12 million illegals already living in the u.s..
Fox 10 News obtained a letter from McCain's office dated April 16 of this year.
In it McCain writes... "Let me be clear, I do not support amnesty. We can't reward lawbreakers, but we also have to deal with the reality of this enormous undocumented population."
The letter goes on to say... "We must provide these individuals with incentives to come forward, complete security background checks, pay any owed taxes and stiff penalties for breaking the law, learn to speak English, and regularize their status."
We asked McCain's office what the term "regularize" means. McCain's aide Brooke Buchanan says "regularize means follow the law."
McCain's primary opponent JD Hayworth thinks it means something else.
"Basically for all these years he's tried to use the poll-driven term comprehensive immigration reform. But now we have a new term in the McCain vocabulary -- regularization," says Hayworth.

FLUSH THE JOHN! McCain HAS to go!
(To the tune of Frankie & Johnny!)
Johnny and Teddy were Senators
On opposite sides of the aisle
They got together and drafted a bill
Guaranteed to make illegals smile
Amnesty was their game and they had no shame
Johnny and Senator Feingold
Gave campaign finance a try
But then the highest court in the land
Said the 1st amendment must apply
Gotta play by the rules now Johnny looks like a fool
Johnny and Mr. Obama
They both agree Gitmo should close
But bringing terrorists into the USA
Is a plan that we oppose
No, they dont belong and Johnnys got it all wrong
Now Johnny and Senator Lieberman
Got together on cap and trade
Anemic hands across the aisle
Gonna send the country to its grave
Its time to let him know old Johnnys gotta go
Johnny believes Global Warming
Limousine Liberals and all
Congressional junkets to Copenhagen
Everybodys havin a ball
Just ask Al Gore - Johnny knows the score
S & L Man Charlie Keating
He came to Johnny one day
Said the government boys are sniffing around
How much to make em go away?
Did Johnny take a bribe to join the Keating 5?
Now fast-forward 20 years later
Banks are in trouble again
Johnny says, Lets bail em out
Its just a trillion or maybe ten.
Lets put some wind in their sails cause theyre too big to fail.
We know theres oil in Alaska
Drilling wont cause any harm
But Johnny agrees with the tree-hugging geeks
Gas is gonna cost a leg and an arm
Johnny why cant you see whats good for you and me?
Now everyone knows about ACORN
They get lots of taxpayers dough
Prostitution rings and voter fraud
And home loans to any old schmoe
No matter ACORNs crimes Johnny thinks theyre just fine
Were tired of hearin your flip-flops
Were tired of hearin your lies
You may think were all dummies but you cant
Pull the wool over our eyes
Youre careers hit a snag - so start packin your bags
Cause Johnny, youve worn out your welcome
Its time to bid DC goodbye
Go write a book or learn to cook
And eat a little humble pie
Just ask Sheriff Joe he says you gotta go
Yeah, go Johnny, go its time to hit the road.
Good-bye
UPDATE:
MUST SEE!! The Flush the John Song has gone viral and is on YOU TUBE!

maybe they just need more fiber, Mr. McCainiac.. if ya want them to be ‘regular’ and all.. maybe some of that 50 dollar a head cabbage is in order.. ;-)
How many times do they have to tell you ? They are NOT for amnesty. They are for registration. Amnesty would be wrong, it would set the wrong example and send the WRING message. But registration is scary. How about those ‘steep’ fines?
I mean just because this will entitle them to : 1) free Obama-care, 2) Social security and medicare, 3) food stamps , 4) SCHIP, 4) tax credits for life, that doesn't mean that that $1000 steep fine wont hurt, does it? (Isnt the legal immigration fee 2K?)
Compassionate RINOs are stupid. The McCain-istas claim he is a fiscal hawk.

John McCain using Deakin as a Willing Spoiler against JD Hayworth
For Immediate National Release
July 16, 2010
CONTACT: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC
(866) 703-0864 WilliamG@alipac.us

US Senator John McCain’s campaign is actively working to support the candidacy of a marginal candidate named Jim Deakin who is willingly playing the role of a campaign spoiler to ward off a serious primary challenge from J.D. Hayworth.
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC’s polite and respectful request for Mr. Deakin to step aside, accompanied by polite requests from hundreds of concerned citizens, was answered this morning with a highly negative and fictitious campaign attack from Jim Deakin, which was amazingly similar to John McCain’s tactics and press releases.
“When I read Deakin’s response and how negative and nasty it was, and how many false accusations were contained in it, I realized that his message was amazingly similar to the press releases we’ve seen from John McCain’s campaign over the last few months,” said William Gheen. “We politely asked Deakin to honorably step aside, knowing that we could determine if he was a spoiler, or a legitimate candidate based on how he responded to that voter concern. Deakin’s response tells us he is McCain’s spoiler and he knows it. We will treat him as such from this point forward.”
Deakin’s issues are all designed to mirror J.D. Hayworth’s campaign, yet Deakin attacks Hayworth, instead of McCain and responds with the same false negativity the overly defensive McCain camp uses. Deakin is not a legitimate candidate, he’s a spoiler for McCain and he knows it.
No candidate in the history of U.S. elections has risen from Deakin’s current position polling in the single digits, five weeks before election day, yet Deakin continues to pretend he is a legitimate candidate.
John McCain’s campaign recently insisted that Jim Deakin be included in public debate that aired last night, as a requirement for McCain’s participation. This indicates that John McCain is aware that Deakin is assisting his bid to return to Washington for a new term. This also indicates that Mr. Deakin is quite aware of his value to the John McCain campaign, yet he continues to willingly play the role of spoiler.
“We wanted to give Mr. Deakin the benefit of the doubt just in case he was an honest man caught in a tough situation,” said William Gheen. “We now know that Deakin is a spoiler, or a walking talking dirty campaign trick in motion, and he knows it. We will treat him as such moving forward as we ask Arizona voters to reject John McCain and Jim Deakin and reject the dirty politics as usual coming out of DC.”
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC opposes John McCain because John McCain has been the lead Republican voice in America advocating a Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty that would turn millions of illegal aliens into voters thus destroying the United States as we know it.
John McCain flip flopped on the issue during the Republican primary for President in 2008, but after promising voters he’d be tough on illegal immigration, McCain returned to his pro-amnesty stance quickly after winning the primary.
“Now John McCain is lying to America again and pretending to be all for securing borders that would be quickly erased, if the McCain, Kennedy, Obama Amnesty plan ever passes,” said William Gheen. “McCain and his allies are using every dirty campaign trick in the book, including using Deakin as a spoiler to try to stop J.D. Hayworth. Arizonans must realize that if they return McCain to Washington, by voting for him or Deakin, they could end up with tens of thousands of illegals voting in the next round.”

Ping!
Nice, a two-headed snake...
//So, why do the “reformers” want to force this on the illegal invaders?\\
It’s a business matter. Lots of cheap labor keep the wages low throughout the country.
Sad, isn’t it?

More leftist word games from McCain...."Regularize?"
Mccain needs to be regularized , and given an enema, he is so full of crap.LOL
Let's regularize McCain. Yee HA!
Letting them stay and work here is amnesty and rewards lawbreakers no matter what conditions you attach to it. And remember, legalizing the status of those already here allows them to sponsor tens of millions more to enter thru chain migration, i.e., family reunificantion. Amnesty will destroy this country with the stroke of a pen.
That is the whole point, destroy the country. They have to have those converted illegal aliens/democrat voters. They are counting on ten to twenty million of them.
Immigration, Political Realignment, and the Demise of Republican Political Prospects
I like it. I might use that!
RE :Scumbag RINO.(McCain)...”
You got it!
He’s against amnesty like Bill Clinton is against adultery.
