Sen. Barack Obama (D-ill.) yesterday accused Republican Sen. John McCain of retreating from a comprehensive overhaul of immigration laws the Arizona senator had championed in Congress, contending that his rival for the White House “walked away” from his own legislation in order to win the GOP presidential primary.
“When he was running for his party’s nomination, he walked away from that commitment,” Obama told a gathering of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, at which the two candidates appeared separately to woo Hispanic votes.”*
