“Summary: In an article about Sen. John McCain’s general election strategy, the Los Angeles Times reported that McCain’s advisers “believe his work on the controversial immigration legislation that included a path to citizenship for many of the nation’s illegal immigrants will provide an inroad to Latino voters, particularly in the Golden State.” But McCain no longer supports the “controversial immigration legislation” attributed to him — he now says that “we’ve got to secure the borders first,” and that he would vote against his own comprehensive immigration bill if it came to the Senate floor.”*
