If the president doesn’t like what the Arizona Legislature and governor may be doing, then I call on the president to immediately call for the dispatch of 3,000 National Guard troops to our border and mandate that 3,000 additional Border Patrol [officers] be sent to our border as well,” McCain said at a news conference Friday in downtown Phoenix, according to a report in the Arizona Republic. “And that way, then the state of Arizona will not have to enact legislation which they have to do because of the federal government’s failure to carry out its responsibilities, which is to secure the borders.”

I am not a big McCain fan but why is Obama taking so long to do this? Doing this might shut up a lot of republicans who might claim the borders are not being secure. If Obama is really serious about getting some republicans on board, then he should start from here.

There needs to be a bill for this also and it should be part of CIR. This will get a lot of Rep support.

I doubt the Republicans will ever shut up about the borders not being secure.

Maybe this is a hint ... and a softening of his stand by mccain for his support for CIR.

"Dont like arizona immigration bill ?! Bring one to the senate. If i can secure borders up I could shut my constituency and give you a vote"
