You can tell from both the disrespectuful and uncouth approach of the angry constituents in that video that they are not well informed, are disgruntled in general and are just looking for people to blame for their issues.

I appreciate Sen. McCain stepping up to speak in favor of immigration reform as he did in the past before the flip flop he had in 2010 on the issue (which he obviously did because he wanted to win the elections in Arizona). I can definitely deduce that the controversial conditions surrounding immigration in Arizona in 2010 are what drove Sen. McCain to distance himself from immigration reform, hence he "played politics" with the issue in order to keep his seat in the Senate. However, some of his constituents do not understand that he "played politics" by flip flopping on immigration reform. Some of his constituents actually believed that he would never support any form of immigration reform that isn't a deportation only policy, and I believe that that's why he's getting such negative reactions from them since they assumed that he wouldn't change his 2010 immigration reform stance.

At the end of the day, any sane, reasonable and logical voter knows that a deportation only means of immigration reform will not work and is practically impossible.

He has my respects when it comes to immigration. Glad he's back!

Oh okay I thought I heard that but since there was too much going on I wasn't sure.

So true!

Wait shouldn't it be none of us?

Do other states allow undocumented folks to receive welfare? I've always wondered that...

Im pretty sure he was going to say something like :they don't qualify.
I sense he was shocked and tried to rephrase what he was going to say with a more more gentle tone but then thought that the ignorance they showed was funny and there was no point in fighting it.

That's what I got from the video atleast
