After years of supporting immigration reform, Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) has started emphasizing a border-security-first approach as he makes a run for Senate.

Flake's views on a guest-worker program and other immigration issues were considered his main vulnerability in a GOP Senate primary. But after watching Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) successfully tack to the right during his primary fight last year, Flake is now following that playbook.

"In the past I have supported a broad approach to immigration reform — increased border security coupled with a temporary worker program. I no longer do," Flake said in a statement published by the Arizona Republic.

"I've been down that road, and it is a dead end. The political realities in Washington are such that a comprehensive solution is not possible, or even desirable given the current leadership. Border security must be addressed before other reforms are tackled."

FUJF! FUJM! FUJK!

Border security must be addressed before other reforms are tackled."

The same dodge McCain has used since 2008. I guess Flake knows the Arizona voters and that enough of them were hoodwinked by McCain to keep him in the Senate for six more years. Does anyone actually believe this flip flopping flake means what he says?

Flake is a 100% pure RINO, seeking Soroes money for his enrichment at the expense of the country. If AZ GOP can’t do better, then we have to find a replacement for AZ GOP pronto!

Flake is a flake.

I’m completely disillusioned by Arizona voters. First they reelect Juan McInsane, now this Illegal-lover hopes they’ll be stupid enough to do it again for him. Arizona voters, please wise up! even if you don’t mind being overrun with Illegals, most of the rest of us do! Please vote for someone who believes in our Constitution. Thank you!
