Mccain worked against curbing illegals in Arizona even in 2004


On one of his rare visits to his home state Senator Mccain
worked to defeat state "Protect Arizona Now/Propostion 200"
which was overwhleming passed by the voters in Arizona in 2004.
This was a state initiated prop to curb the drain on public bennies
to illegals and voter fraud.


I guess Senator Mccain didn't get the message way back in 2004?
enough said for a state rights issue.


some news items back in 2004..........

U.S. Sen. John McCain will meet with opponents of a controversial
immigration ballot question in the coming days to see how
he can help defeat the measure.

McCain will sit down with those opposed to the
Protect Arizona Now/Propostion 200, which will be on the November ballot.

PAN looks to curtail illegal immigration into the state requiring those seeking public welfare benefits to prove they are eligible for such services and those seeking to votes to prove they are U.S. citizens.

The measure also requires state agencies to report illegal aliens to federal authorities and those state workers who do not do that face criminal sanctions.


McCain said Wednesday he will soon meet with PAN opponents to see
what role he can play in the effort against Prop. 200.


McCain stressed Wednesday that he understands frustrations within the state regarding border security and continues to press the federal government
and Congress to focus more on the matter.
