For the last time: John McCain still supports amnesty ("It'll be my top priority yesterday, today and tomorrow")

As discussed here for some months, various Democratic Party proxies have tried to claim that John McCain has "flip-flopped" on "comprehensive immigration reform", aka amnesty. They base that on his supposed insistence on "border security first", as discussed here.

McCain is simply trying to fool people. Those who try to claim he's "flip-flopped" are either confused or, more likely, are similarly trying to fool people.

McCain still supports amnesty, just as he has for several years.

The only issue for him is how to get it. Don't just take my word for it, here's a quote from McCain from the recent meeting of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (link):

[He told them that] fixing U.S. immigration policy would be a priority — even as he acknowledged it's not popular with some members of his own party. "It'll be my top priority yesterday, today and tomorrow," McCain said.
