AZ Senate Debate: on Immigration

John McCain: Make possible for immigrants to do a job Americans won't do

Things are terrible, and we've got to fix it. But we're not going to fix it until we have comprehensive immigration reform. When there's a demand, there's going to be a supply. There are jobs that Americans will not do, so we have to make it possible for someone to come to this country to do a job that an American won't do and then go back to the country from where they came.

John McCain: Give everyone in the world an opportunity to come to America

Those who live closest are the ones who can get here. Everyone in the world should have the opportunity through an orderly process to come to this country. Source: AZ Senate Debate, in Tucson Citizen

Stuart Starky: Immigrants were welcomed, not given a guest-worker program

Immigrants were told, "Welcome." They weren't given a guest-worker program. They weren't told they were going to be given this kind of job or that kind of job. They were told, "Welcome to the greatness of America." That needs to be the immigration policy of America again. Source: AZ Senate Debate, in Tucson Citizen
