The Tucson paper's editorial board noted that he represents a border state affected by Washington's inaction.
"Yes. Yes. I do. But so does the senator from New Mexico and the senators from California and all the border states all along. But it seems to me that the proposal should come, it's the obligation of the president of the United States to come forward with what he thinks is a proposal and then maybe we can all work together and get it resolved," he said.
"So what have I done?" he added. "Not enough."
Still, McCain said he expects to hold hearings on border security when the Senate reconvenes next week.
"We hopefully will get some better indication what the administration is going to do or not to or whatever their plans are," he said. "I do know that Janet Napolitano takes [the recent death of an Arizona rancher] very seriously, she is very concerned about it. They did say they were going to have like a mini surge of sending customs and border people down here. So she is not oblivious to the impact of this murder. And we have a very good relationship. Talk about partisanship, we have an excellent relationship. And I think she is doing a good job."

You had a chance to do something meaningful about border control...for YEARS.
But you went over to the Dark Side.
No going back now, John.

please retire.
Finishing up his fourth term.
My gosh! I missed this one.
“I support his [McCain] position on immigration.”
- Sarah Palin, Mar. 27, 2010
That statement alone is a disqualifier. Clearly he doesn't read the news or comprehend border security in any meaningful way.
McCain, Obama reach out to Latinos through LULAC
Snip: McCain's speech was largely a repeat of previous addresses he has given on the economy. It was only at the end of his speech he addressed his ties to the Hispanic community, noting that he has represented Arizona, where he said, "Spanish was spoken before English was."
McCain to speak at open-borders La Raza ("The Race") conference
Snip: May 5, 2008 02:33 PM The John McCain campaign celebrated Cinco de Mayo today by launching a Spanish-language version of its website–and announcing that McCain will speak at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza (that’s “The Race”). The campaign justifies his appearance by framing it as a gesture of inclusiveness and outreach that is “part of his commitment to talking with all Americans.” Yes, they see it as an act of tolerance to legitimize the militantly open-borders, anti-immigration enforcement, ethnic nationalists who call themselves “The Race.”
I think I’m going to throw up. BRB
Had McCain been elected, you can bet that ‘virtual fence’ would have been in place, so the Border Patrol would have seen all the illegals crossing. And maybe even videotaped all the illegals crossing, so they would have at least had a headcount of how many more were in the US.
Course it wouldn’t have stopped a single one of them. But you can bet your bottom dollar that they would have been ‘virtually’ stopped.
Go home John ‘Stupak’ McCain!
I'm becoming more and more uncomfortable on a daily basis with her support of McCain.
Finishing up his fourth term.

He should have been gone after the Keating 5 thingy.
Boy, talk about a pile of revisionary bullsh*t. JD, if he has an ounce of intelligence could crush the old liar.
We now face the challenge of getting our new daughter in law into the country. The legal way will cost the family thousands of dollars and lots of time and tears. We had the same problem with my sister in law. Do your really expect us non-racists conservatives to support amnesity for those who jumped the que and came illegally? We have lots of friends who have come legally...send the illegals back over the border and tell them to get in the que..with all their documents in order and check in hand.
She said she agrees with 100% of McCains positions.
Ping!
All of his many "positions," or does Sarah have a specific one in mind?
Hayworth should use that picture in the ads.
