Media Matters - Kondracke claimed McCain’s “position on comprehensive immigration reform” could win over Hispanics — but he’s abandoned it

Summary: On The Beltway Boys, Morton Kondracke asserted that Sen. John McCain “may well” be able to “match George Bush’s 2004 record of 40 percent” of the Hispanic vote “because he’s got a position on comprehensive immigration reform that’s humanitarian.” But McCain asserted on January 30 that he “would not” support his original comprehensive immigration proposal if it came to a vote on the Senate floor and now says that “we’ve got to secure the borders first” — a position at odds with his prior assertion that border security could not be disaggregated from other aspects of comprehensive immigration reform without being rendered ineffective.”*
