He's from Arizona. It's probably a combination of pragmatism, hispanic votes and outright corporate greed.

At any rate, this issue is probably the single most important issue that separates MiniMe McCain from the Republican base. It makes their heads explode and gives them migraines.

More GOP liberalism: McCain pushes amnesty
Posted by Paul Mulshine September 12, 2008 4:10PM

In case you're wondering whether the Palin nomination represented a turn to the right for the McCain campaign, your answer comes in the new video just released on the subject of immigration.

In it, McCain makes yet another plea for the amnesty that dare not speak its name:

Script For "Symbols Of Hope":

JOHN MCCAIN: Whether from Italy, Ireland, Mexico, or the Far East, too often, new immigrants have been treated as objects of fear, instead of symbols of hope.

My friends, I want to be clear.

I believe all immigrants are symbols of hope.

That's why when I'm President, addressing the immigration problem will be a priority.

We'll solve it with legislation that's practical and fair.

Fairness to all is the key to success.

I'm John McCain and I approved this message.
