I’m no McCain fan. You just weren’t paying attention.

#73: McCain recanted his past position by the election, which came after four years of immigrant bashing by Republicans.

I thought you meant by that statement that McC had the wrong "tone," i.e. he became, in your way of looking at it, another so-called "immigrant basher." Tell me what you did mean by "recanted."

I twice attempted to pass comprehensive immigration legislation to fix our broken borders; ensure respect for the laws of this country; recognize the important economic necessity of immigrant laborers; apprehend those who came here illegally to commit crimes; and deal practically and humanely with those who came here, as my distant ancestors did, to build a better, safer life for their families, without excusing the fact they came here illegally or granting them privileges before those who did. Many Americans, with good cause, did not believe us when we said we would secure our borders, and so we failed in our efforts. We must prove to them that we can and will secure our borders first, while respecting the dignity and rights of citizens and legal residents.

Deport 2 million illegal immigrants who committed crimes There are 2 million people who are here who have committed crimes. They have to be rounded up and deported.

McCain changed his position from his bill proposing what some called amnesty to secure the borders first for the election. He changed his position, whether you believe him or not. Still didn't help him.
