WASHINGTON - Arizona Sen. John McCain and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy are working together to draft a bipartisan bill for comprehensive immigration reform to introduce in the new session of Congress.In addition to the "news" that John McCain is completely on the wrong side of immigration matters, I'm going to hazard a guess that Ira Mehlman of FAIR was misquoted vis-a-vis the "immigration foes" bit. The author's information is billy.house@arizonarepublic.com or at 1-(202)-906-8136.
The efforts, bolstered by President Bush's reiteration on Monday that he wants to give temporary legal status to any "willing worker" who has found a job Americans do not want, come as many Republicans in Congress are pointing to the threat of terrorism as a reason to further restrict immigration...
[...quotes from "immigrant advocacy groups" deleted...]
...Ira Mehlman, media director for the Federation of American Immigration Reform, said that even if the White House gets behind a guest worker bill sponsored by McCain and Kennedy, or anyone else, the measure will face "serious opposition," from immigration foes, including many Republicans in the U.S. House.
"The president doesn't have to run (for office) again. House members are always running for re-election," he said.

John Mccain is right and he has a compassion for other human beings.
