McCain's true agenda for illigal immigration
Senator McCain's position on illegal immigration has arguably resulted in the most criticisms from conservatives. On May 12, 2005, McCain joined Senator [[Ted Kennedy]] (D-[[Massachusetts]]) as co-sponsor of the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act. The bill would legalize and eventually grant citizenship to the estimated 12–20 million [[illegal alien]]s in the United States and have them immediately start collecting social security and other government benefits. The bill never came for a vote on the Senate floor. The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 and the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 are two additional compromises based on the original McCain-Kennedy bill. McCain has consistently voted for visas for skilled workers. McCain voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006 and has said border security should be a bigger priority then the illegal aliens who are currently here.

It's also interesting to note that McCain, in a hotly contested primary race with conservative J.D. Hayworth, has tried to reinvent himself as an anti-illegal alien, small government conservative. This despite the fact he supported TARP, called the Bush tax cuts, "Tax cuts for the rich," supported government bailouts of the banking and automobile industries and hid his amnesty agenda under the guise of comprehensive reform.
Critics maintain he's simply trying to save his political career and his record shows he doesn't really believe any of his new found conservative values. Sheriff Joe Arpaio and State Senator Russell Pierce, who were instrumental in getting SB 1070 passed in Arizona, have both endorsed Hayworth and warned voters about McCain's flip-flopping on illegal immigration.
